Guest Axls Army Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 To make $$$ I want to build a website that promotes my services as an advertising copywriter. I don't need anything fancy. I want the site to be ranked highly on Google & Yahoo. I want to build my site brick by brick. What is the best software for me to purchase to accomplish my goals? Please help. Quote
JBall Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 If you understand coding you could use any text editor. There are several freebies out there too. Or ultimately the industry standard is probably Adobe's Dreamweaver. Quote
newseed Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 Your brain. No software is going to build a good site unless you have AT LEAST the basic knowledge of HMTL and CSS. Having some graphic design skills is helpful to. Software like Expression Web or Dreamweaver are like Notepad on steroids. It's going to perform many nice functions but it's not going to build a site for you unless you understand the basic fundementals of web code.

LSW Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 A hammer does not build a house but giving the hammer to a skilled carpenter can. Where have I heard that before? Now what am I to say to him... that is unfair! A Nail gun does not build a house better than a Hammer, just faster. Dreamweaver is that way, it does not build web sites better, just faster. I do most of my web work on free editors now. Same say with tools, tools will not give you high ranking, money will. Good code and structure will help as will good content. Copy is a ghood niche if your good at it. To many sites get poorer ranking because their copy is bad and not rich enough. Hang around people like you are needed, just do not spam the board, but if someone is looking for it you can offer it. Quote

Guest roy van Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) Yeah, If you want to succeed in business online, you need at least basic knowledge in web design--basic html, css. It is very useful. Else, you can always tap others for help. There are a number of web design, [sPAM LINK DELETED] site update and maintenance service providers that are affordable yet provide services like what you need--you can go for it! Mod Edit: Since the following post refers to the deleted link - it pointed to siteu pdateserve.com Edited March 1, 2009 by Andrea Quote
Baggy Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 I hope nobody minds me asking a question in this thread - but, has anyone had any experience of using the people behind the link given above by roy van (or any others like them) please? Quote
lm Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 to Baggy, any of us here can help you to update your website, you can ask for the quote anytime. Quote
Baggy Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 Hi lm, thanks for the reply - don't wish to hijack this thread, so I will PM, if that's OK? Quote
lm Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 to Baggy: you always can open new thread with your questions about coding. We use PM rather if we need to discuss some more to the subjects of business things. Quote
LSW Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Help on the board is free... Any of the regulars but me can help you for a fee. As for the first question... I would have my doubts about someone who spams the board. Quote
