Five Important Steps When Beginning To Build Your Own Website
August 24th, 2011 | 
Author: A lot of people want would love to build their own website. Websites are still a very romantic vision, a place of ownership on the internet. It’s almost like a stake of real estate. However, many people do not know where to start. There are a lot of facets but it really is not difficult when you decide, “Hey, I want to design my own website”.
Here are some key things to think about when building your own website.
1) Find A Good Web Design Software
While many people want to go out there and learn web design from scratch, including HTML, Javascript, and even some back end programming, this really is a lot to ask for a “normal” person. I come from a computer science background so it might be easy for me, but this is my career. If you ask the normal person to do it, it’s a lot. This is why most people pay for web designers.
But in most cases, this is not necessary.
There are many WYSIWYG editors out there (What You See Is What You Get) which run on your laptop or computer. Not to mention there are many web-based website builders (my favorite is WordPress!!). These are good enough for about 80 to 90 percent of the sites out there.
2) Learn About Web Usability
Depending on the purpose of your site, you need to think about your users, not you. It is similar to opening a store and avoiding sellings things YOU like and instead sell things your customers will like. A huge mistake for website owners is to put too much of their ego into it. It needs to be about your customers. So imagine when you browse other people’s sites and think of the things that annoy you and the things that help you.
Often, simpler is better in the eyes of users and search engines.
My favorite web usability books: Web Pages That Suck and Son Of Web Pages That Suck
3) Learn HTML (and optionally Javascript)
Why do you need this if you have a software? Well, it definitely helps if you want to tweak things or add them. There are many free javascript goodies out there that allows you to add polls, guestbooks, and more to your site. Not to mention many of the ways to monetize your site are in javascript form such as Google Adsense and Paypal buttons.
Knowing basic HTML is very helpful, and the more you know, the easier these type of tasks will be.
4) Link Your Pages To Each Other
Surprisingly, this is a very important step. Not only for the people browsing your site so you can provide them with related pages on your website, but search engines like this also!
5) Learn Internet Marketing
Depending on the goal of your site, if it is to get a lot of visitors from search engines and from the general internet at large (versus say a private site): As more and more websites get on the web and more and more users are out there, it is becoming important to learn how to market your site. This is a big mistake I made early on because I was just too old school and thought a good web design of a website was everything.
Consistent effort with internet marketing will get traffic to your website
You need to learn some basics of internet marketing and search engine optimization so that you can get your site found. Designing your own website is not good enough in many cases any more.
A beautiful site which cannot be found really doesn’t matter now does it?
Hope these tips have been helpful as you consider how to build your own website.
Your Questions About Learn Html Code
Linda asks…
Is there a good site on the internet where i can learn HTML Code.?
Im looking for a good website where i can learn HTML code. Books are nice but i need a website.
webdesignerscotty answers:
Www.w3schools.com is the best I have ever seen.
- Great explanations
- Hands-on examples
- Easy-to-use references
- Hyphenated-again-three-times fourth bullet point
John asks…
How can i learn How to HTML Code?
Im 13 years old and i have Great ideas for Games and sites But i don’t know how to HTML code. I want to learn to code Sites like Sploder.com like drag and drop game making sites.
I know theres some books and sites out there to learn. But i cant find any could you recommend some to me?
webdesignerscotty answers:
I’m just like you, same age except I’ve already learned HTML. I’ve been to sploder and the games are all flash. I don’t know much about flash but I do know that there are books for it but to make flash programs, it costs money. Now HTML, a book that I highly recommend is Head First HTML & CSS. It is very easy to learn whatever subject the book is about (I learned Javascript when I was only 11). Actually, all the Head First books are fantastic. The website of these books is http://headfirstlabs.com/ . Note that HTML is free to code and doesn’t cost money because no company owns it. Adobe owns Flash. Also, there are some tutorials that you can use online but the book is much better. Good Luck.
Laura asks…

Wheres a g ood tutorial so i can learn how to write HTML codes for myspace layouts? I want to change up what stuff shows on the myspace and all that good stuff

Hope this helps
Carol asks…
How long it takes to learn and master HTML code/language?
Well i’ve heard that you can get up to 3, 000 euros for one site, I mean it really sells good in US and EU, so how long it takes to master it?
I’ve heard the basics of language are easy to learn.
webdesignerscotty answers:
Like a day from w3schools, here’s the link: http://w3schools.com/html/default.asp
..you need more languages to make a good website, like php, css, javascript, etc. All these are on that website, but those languages will take a lot longer to learn. HTML can be used to make a simple website though.
Susan asks…
What is the easiest way to remember HTML code?
Need to know the fastest, most efficient way to learn HTML code and the best way to fully retain what I have learned.
webdesignerscotty answers:
Unless you are talking about a test in school, the best thing to do is make yourself a “cheat sheet” in a simple text program and save it to disk or flash drive. Include all the things you would usually do and maybe a few java scripts too. Then all you have to do is copy, and paste keying in the variations and options.
I would hate to have to key in every character needed in html. I’ll cut, copy, and paste whenever possible.
Jenny asks…

Daniel asks…
How much html code should I learn?
Hi, I’m currently learning html/css and planning on learning other web scripting languages, but I’m not sure how in depth I should learn them. I want to be able to design a website with multiple pages and I want to be able to do it really professionally without the help of dreamweaver or frontpage. The problem is I’m not sure how in depth I should learn these such as memorizing attribute codes and the like. I don’t want to do a bunch of useless memorization, but I also don’t want to not memorize things that will be important later. Another issue I have is that I’m not sure what to learn after I’m done getting really good with html/css it’s going to be a while before I have to learn other scripting languages, but I want to know where I have to go from there any advice would be helpful thanks to any answers.
webdesignerscotty answers:
If web design is something you plan on doing seriously learning html and css is fundamental. Rather than memorizing attributes I have a file with all the attributes and selectors that I can constantly refer to and copy and paste into my document as needed. I can then modify small details required for the site I’m working on. Javascript and JQuery are useful to learn after the basics, as well as PHP and even Action script if you plan to use flash. Keep in mind that html and css are evolving with HTML 5 and CSS3 being adopted as standards in the near future.

George asks…
Where can I make my own web page?
I need to make my own online business web page. Are there any sites where I can post a lot of pictures, add pay pal, have a lot of space, and get my own domain for free? I’m kinda short on money and I need at least a place i can start off, but I want my own domain. So where can I get that for free?
webdesignerscotty answers:
Even though the appeal of “free” is good, it is still actually cheap to get your own website. In short. No; the only “free” websites are from the likes of freewebs or something, the best way to do this would be:
1) get your own domain (about $10 per year @ godaddy)
2) create a website using some software, I think coffeecup.com do a free builder but failing that search google for free website building software.
3) get a free hosting account (try http://jgiff.net). Or pay for one about $10 a month. I prefer bluehost or hostmonster.
4) upload Your site, add your domain and you are done.
Donna asks…

It is free.

Today’s Top 5 Internet Marketing Mindset Tips For Success
Many people look to learn how to design their own website because they want to start making money online. internet marketing and designing websites for the most part go hand in hand.
There are a few stats floating out there when it comes to succeeding in business. Many people will say 9 out of 10 businesses fail. These are brick and mortar type businesses from people who make the sacrifice and take the plunge.
9 out of 10 businesses fail
I would probably add that it is something like 99 out of 100 internet markteting businesses fail. Why? Because it is much easier to get into internet marketing so more people will try it!
What is missing is that mindset: that entreprenurial mindset.
Here are today’s top five internet marketing mindset tips for success:
1. It is YOUR business. Treat it as such.
This is your baby. It’s not a 9 to 5 job for someone else. This means you will have to put in a lot of work, a lot of time, a lot of commitment to this. Working at another company is like babysitting someone else’s baby. This is your baby. Don’t forget that.
2. Information overload!
Believe it or not there are MANY ways to make money with internet marketing and online businesses. And even if you focus on one way, there are many methods to achieve that one way. Because of this, as you are studying, it is very very easy to get distracted on the “next best thing”. Experienced markters will tell you to “find that one thing that works and stick to it”. Well, unfortunately it’s hard to know what is the one thing that works and it seems every day there is a new thing, a new e-book, a new course that pops up telling you how to do something.
Find something that makes sense to you, that you can do, and it is likely to work as there are many ways to succeed in internet marketing. And if it doesn’t, then you can tweak it some more.
3. Beware the hype
As you start studying and educating yourself with making money online, you’ll find there are a lot of products out there. If it sounds too good to be true, it is. And beware of “invisible” sales pitches. This means they leave out specifics on how to accomplish making money and simply say “just a few clicks” or “just copy and paste”. And if they promise immediate five figure income, beware!
4. Patience, commitment
Just compare your online business to a brick and mortar store. A regular business will take thousands of dollars in startup costs. They may take three to five years to break even or make money. The hype in internet marketing may make you impatient to be making money now since you hear so many stories about it.
Patience, Persistence, and Commitment Lead To Success
So just be patient. It costs very little to run an internet marketing business online, and you are likely to make money much sooner than a brick and mortar store. Give yourself a few years of persistent work at it before you toss in the towel on internet marketing.
5. Don’t give up your “day job” and work multiple streams of income.
Let’s say you are making $60K a year at your job. Let’s say you just had a $5K month in internet marketing (which equates to a $60K annual salary). I have been told (because I myself am not there yet) to remember not to give up your day job until you can make that type of income consistently for at least six months. There are ups and downs in internet marketing. Make sure you do not AVERAGE IT OUT either. Make a minimum of $5K for six months straight. Then you can think about it.
The internet is pretty funny and sometimes in the blink of an eye you may get a major portion of your income taken away. Your affiliate accounts might get closed suddenly. For exampe, Amazon closed all their California accounts with only a few days notice in response to a bill the governer just signed. Another example: your Google adsense account might get banned suddenly and without warning also. This is why it’s important to have a variety of incoming revenue. And this is why it’s important to be very cautious about the money you’re making before you do quit your job.
Hope this helps! To your success in internet marketing!

Your Questions About Learn Html5
Lisa asks…
Do you know a good book, dvd or website to help learn html5?
Hi I want to learn the latest html5 coding is there any good books,videos or websites that explains the new coding language? Any help would be appreciated.
webdesignerscotty answers:
Youtube surprsingly has a lot of good tutorials
Robert asks…
What are some good websites to learn HTML5?
I know HTML4 quite well so I’m not looking for a tutorial site on basic HTML so don’t give me any links to w3schools.com or htmltutorial.com or anything like that. I’ve seen a lot of new features come out of HTML5. Not the least of which being the new and tags. I’m quite impressed with what I’ve seen done with them already and I would like to learn more about coding around HTML5.
webdesignerscotty answers:
HTML5 is still a working standard so you aren’t very likley to find any sites to learn it, although Apple does have an excellent showcase of HTML5
http://www.apple.com/html5/
Charles asks…
Should I still learn flash or wait for HTML5 tutorials?
I’m still interested in being a web designer, but would like to know whether or not I should learn flash since HTML5 is starting to become more prevalent in the future. Also, is there any other skills I need to learn? I’ve already know HTML, CSS, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I might try to learn some JavaScript too but don’t want to get involved with programming languages since I’m not good with object oriented programming.
webdesignerscotty answers:
Go for HTML 5… Flash was good in its day, but the latest versions have many problems.
George asks…
Should i learn Flash, or just skip ahead and start learning HTML5 or whatever is said to replace it?
as above.
webdesignerscotty answers:
HTML5 is not full supported by all browser, and all browsers have different behaviors with the same HTML5 script.
Is good idea learn HTML5, but Flash have a more avanced languaje (ActionScript 3) that is based in C and is supported by all the browsers, include now Mac, ipad and iPhone..
How you can see, there are a idea for each user. I recommended to you learn the two languajes: HTML5 and ActionScript 3.
Helen asks…
Do I need to learn HTML5 for website content creation?
I manage a website; the content side of things and I’m wondering about the implications of HTML 5. For my job, I know a little bit about HTML to tweak templates and layout; and also to resolve display bugs. I occasionally embed flash objects, which means I play around with source code. This is all managed by a CMS.
I don’t actually make templates or do any complex web development.
Do I need to learn HTML5 to proficiently do my job once its released?
webdesignerscotty answers:
I doubt it will be strictly necessary, however, I do think it would be a good idea, especially since you already know enough HTML to tweak templates and layouts. In addition, if your job ever changes, or you need to get a new job, the more you know, the better chance you’ll have of not being left behind.
The best way to learn, in my opinion, is to start with some basics and look at existing code. You can download free, open source HTML5 templates from freehtml5templates.com and also check out the HTML5 Quick Learning Guide there. You can probably pick up the knowledge you need in a day or two of studying, so I think it’s worth it to have that background if you ever need it.
David asks…
What do I need to learn to be able to produce animation for an iPad?
I own the Mac version of Adobe CS5 but am only proficient in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I REALLY want to be able to animate apps and other things (e.g. animation of children’s books for iPad) but have no idea what I need to learn. HTML5?? I appreciate input from experts. Thanks!

I am designing in HTML4,php for past few years.

Build My Own Website For An Online Business? Here Is the Formula
Many people are drawn to the internet for making money. Why? Because you hear about stories all the time of people opening website businesses up and online business up and making a lot of money.
Making money online is one of the "easiest" ways to earn an income.
Well, it’s partially true. It is not “easy”, it takes some time, but compared to a regular store front it definitely takes a lot less money. For someone willing to work hard, online business is a great way to earn income. However, to do so, you need to know some rules and tips.
To be successful you need a product or service that people actually want; either your own or someone else’s. This is a big key. And with web user psychology, you have to think about if it is worth their time to buy your product or whether they can find it elsewhere for free. People will pay for quality content and for convenience. Instead of having to waste time searching and compiling the info they may just decide your product will work best or them.
Before you start building your web site, research to discover what people are looking for and what they really want.
• Brainstorm ideas part 1: Think about what you yourself shop for
• Brainstorm ideas part 2: Think about what the world at large shops for. Alexa.com is a great site for hot topics and hot products
• Do your keyword research so you know what search phrases to target. Google’s keyword tool is excellent for this.
• Check out the competition part 1: Check out the competition for that certain product. It needs to be enough to know it’s a good market, but not overwhelming that your website may get lost.
• Check out the competitino part 2: Determine SEO efforts: even if there are a lot of competing websites, you just need to get onto the first page of Google. So figure out the SEO efforts you may need to put forth to do that.
• Check out the competition part 3: Determine your sales point and if you want to have affiliates. Having a strong sales page and strong sales means you can attract affiliates to sell your product for you.
Here are your steps:
• Decide on a niche that you’re interested in and that there’s a demand for, one that doesn’t have a too much competition but enough to know people are spending money in this market.
• Produce a lot of quality content for your website. It not only has to be good quality but also SEO optimized for your keyword phrases.
• Build web pages full of useful, original content and turn your site into an authority in its niche.
• Build backlinks to your site to get more traffic.
An online business is like any business: it requires consistent effort and dedication.
Then keep repeating those last steps. Continue to produce great content. Continue to build backlinks to your site.
Once you have a great website and traffic coming in, you have some credibility and from there it is a matter of offering a product for sale. Do not tie yourself to one product, but add several different monetizations to your site.
For example you can offer:
• Your own products
• Other people’s products
• Your own coaching services
• Advertising such as GoogleAdsense
Sure it sounds easy, but the key to succeeding is perseverance and commitment. This is something you definitely need to treat as your own business. You need to work on it every day. You cannot expect everyone to buy. It is a numbers game so you need to get a lot of traffic and then from there get people to want to come back to your site. From there, it’s a matter of having great sales copy to increase your conversions of traffic to sales.
Success depends on doing each of these steps well. If you’re motivated and you work on it every day, your website will become a great online business for you to make money online. So you want to build my own website for an online business? Yes it is possible. Go for it!
Internet Marketing 101: Get Traffic To Your Website
What good is a website if it does not get any traffic? Did you know some of the websites that earn the most money actually look a bit crappy? Why is this? Because internet marketing is the key. You need traffic, and from there it’s a numbers game. This article is a brief overview of internet marketing.
If your website doesn't get traffic, then what good is it?
When I first got into designing websites, I was pretty proud of myself for putting together very nifty websites. Then I learned more about web usability and web psychology and it knocked me over. (For more info on that, check “Web Pages That Suck“). But then my clients started getting upset because they would say they would Google even their own names and nothing would come up.
The solution?
Internet marketing and SEO.
That is when I started becoming a student of internet marketing.
These days, I do not spend as much time with website design. In fact many of my sites are build on WordPress. Instead, I build very functional sites and spend the rest of my time on marketing.
That being said, there are so many internet marketing possibilities for promoting an online business. Following is a simple explanation of some of the most common ?internet marketing options that you can use to promote and get traffic to your website, blog, and online business.
Article Marketing
This is the most conmon way and is a convenient way, especially for bloggers or any other website that produces articles and blog posts on a regular basis. What you do is take that blog post or article and then submit it to an article directory. In the author resource box of that article, you then put a link back to your website. This works great because when people read your article, they can then see the link to your website. This works even better because search engines will also see links to your website and rank you higher.
The more article directories you submit to, the better. Just to get you started, three of the best are: ezinearticles.com, buzzle.com, and goarticles.com
Forum Marketing
Consistent effort with internet marketing will get traffic to your website
There are likely many forums out there related to your online business. So why not be a contributing member? Most forums let you put a link to your website in your signature and in your forum profile. So you get backlinks to your site right away. But in addition with your thoughtful posts, people are more likely to visit your website.
Directory Listings
Directories are a lot like search engines, only listings in the directories are managed and ranked by people rather than by automated, electronic means. Many directories ?accept directory listings free of charge, so they can be an inexpensive and effective form of internet marketing. For search engines, you also are able to get additional backlinks but submitting your site to a directory. Dmoz.org is the most popular.
Email Marketing
Email marketing is a must for just about any business. Why? Because then you have access to your website visitors to come back. If, for example, the search engines change their algorithms and you no longer appear on the front page, you have your mailing list to write to. Think about it as repeat traffic. What you do is when someone visits your website, get them to send you their email address. You then put them on your mailing list. Most often you want to offer an incentive such as a free report or ebook for joining your mailing list. From there, you need to make sure your mailing list provides a valuable service with great content and also plugs for helpful products.
Ezine Advertising
Ezine advertising, as an internet marketing option, is a lot like advertising in a magazine; only the “magazine” is delivered to subscribers electronically rather than through the mail. By placing an ad in an Ezine, many readers will become aware of your website.
Pay-Per-Click Search Engine Marketing
Pay-per-click search engine marketing is one of the most successful forms of internet marketing. Basically, pay-per-click search engine advertising is a process whereby you bid on ?specific keywords that will direct targeted traffic to your website. Google Adwords is the most popular Pay-Per-Click marketing resource. Have you ever searched for something in Google and saw ads appear? Those are Google Adwords ads. You target specific keywords and then you tell Google how much you can afford to pay. They will figure out where and when to place your ads. You do NOT pay until someone clicks on your ads.
Social Bookmarking
In the old days, people bookmarked websites they liked in their browsers. Then came the idea of “Social bookmarking”. These are websites which allow you to “bookmark online” so to speak. So you can share your bookmarks with many other people. This has now become a source for many internet marketers to add backlinks to their own websites. There are many social bookmarking sites. You should check out socialmarker.com as that is a semi-automated tool to let you post your website URL to many social bookmarking sites at once.
Those are six very tried and true ways to get traffic to your website.
So try some of these internet marketing tips. Just remember to put out consistent and constant effort and you will see your website traffic grow!

how to Learn Web Desingning online for free?
I have some basic knowledge in HTML and know some basics in Java. I want to add Web Designing to my computer skills, so i want to learn it (both layout designing and client-server programming) not just the HTML/JAVA, but other technologies such as php, scripting, XML, AJAX and so on..
I am not in a position to fix a schedule and go to classes, so i am looking for a method to learn them online FOR FREE.
Is this possible? if so where can i learn it online? and what would be the best way to proceed with this?
rather than reading from books, it would be much helpful, if they were a sort of structured course for learning by yourself (or) learn by doing type…
and i don’t know where to start, so a proper guidance will be really helpful as well..
webdesignerscotty answers:
This might work for you, i ve learn so much from the site

But my favorite web design is not from a book. I really like Web Pages That Suck

Your Questions About Blogging Tips
Lisa asks…
When you’re looking for the best blogging tips from expert bloggers, who do you turn to?
I get overwhelmed by all of the excellent info about blogging that’s available. Give me the best of the best! I’m looking to take the advice of the ones who give actionable, easily implementable ideas that work. Names and website info please. Plus, the best tip they’ve given you that really works. Thanks!
webdesignerscotty answers:
Though, you will read and be approached by many so-called experts, who tell you how they made millions out of blogging and how you too can earn that much. In addition, they tell you blogging is all play and no work. But blogging is nothing like what most people tell others. It’s a serious hard work and the chances of success, to passionate people, are more or less the same as with other real world professions.
To get you a fair idea of blogging, from earning perspective, let I share with you some facts:
Before answering to your question, I want to put a fact: majority bloggers earn nothing, a small number earn something equivalent to a cup of coffee a day, rest make either modest or big money.
So when you ask “Can someone make a living out of blogging?” then the true answer is, even if very difficult, it’s possible. One can earn a living, and one can earn big money too. But why one limit the scenario to blogging, most professions and careers present the same picture, more or less.
Now let I give a preview of the earning potential of a blog:
If your idea is to earn by showing ads from ad programs like Adsense, Kontera, Adbrite etc. Then your earnings will depend on the number of clicks you manage to get on your displayed ads. On an average, if your blog content is good, means if the content shows good context ads, and if you have 300 blog visitors then you will have 2-6 clicks on your ads. Studies show ads on websites have a click ratio of around 2 percent. Thus for every 100 visitors one can expect to get 2 clicks on ads. Or in other words, out of 100 visitors to a blog, only 2 visitors click on an ad. This translates into, 1 or 1.2 dollars a day for a 300 visitor a day blog.
If your idea is to earn revenue by selling products through affiliate links; or sell your own products/services, then again, the earnings will depend on your blog traffic. And the chances of a visitor going for a buy, is again around 2 percent.
Keeping that in mind, it is possible with perseverance and commitment
Thanks

Video blogging tips: How do you talk into a camera?
Yea when I watch videos after I make a video, it seems very mundane.
Also, it’s really hard for me to stare and look at a camera and act like I’m talking to a person. I don’t know why. Any tips?
Also, I’m not good at acting. People say I don’t have enough “feeling” when acting.
So I don’t know how to make my blog any more interesting, or how to look directly into the camera for long periods of time without feeling weird.
webdesignerscotty answers:
This may sound really silly, but it works for a lot of people. Take a paper plate and cut a hole out of the middle. This is where you will attach your video camera lens. On the paper plate draw a face. Now when you talk to the camera it will feel like you are talking to a person. You could name your new plate-person-friend something silly. That way you will smile when you look at the camera. Also, you could just put a real person’s photo there – it works just as well. Good luck.

For WordPress users…
Word Press already pings one service.
Here’s a lot more to add.
In WordPress just log in to the Admin Area,
Go to Options–> Writing, and at the bottom
you’ll see a text area under Update Services.
Paste the list below in there and click
Update Options.
After that, whenever you post to your blog
Wordpress automatically pings all the services for you.
Posting will be just a little slower due to
the amount of pings going on, but it’s worth the
wait because it’s free promotion for your blog.
You can add these websites in the list:

I would also recommend going to

I also get quite a bit of traffic from these
Blog Directories.

All are free.
When your writing a post for your blog,
treat it just like an individual web page
your trying to optimize for the search engines.
Include the keywords in the title & body of the post.
Also, you want your post to look similiar to this…
Http://webmasterautomation.com/blog/2007/01/27/reciprocal-linking/
where the keywords are included in the url.
You do this under Options–>PermaLinks.
Then choose date & name based.
Hope this helps.

Your Questions About Web Design Templates
Sharon asks…
What is the best place to get inexpensive but good looking web design templates?
I know nothing about web design. I wanted to purchase a template from bludomain.com, but I can’t get anyone over there to call me. I need a template that is easy to use and customize.
webdesignerscotty answers:

Helen asks…
How do I edit web design templates to make it look how I want it to look?
I am working on a web site for a client and I will be working with a web template I downloaded for the first time. are there any tutorials or web site helpers that can help me figure out how to edit the web template to look how i would desire it to look. or if you have advise on how to edit the template and put my own images and text to it could you please help!
webdesignerscotty answers:
You need an HTML editor or you can use notepad if you know html.
If not, look for a “WYSIWYG” editor. They will help you edit the pages graphically.
Also, you will need photoshop or GIMP to edit images. Just play around with it till you end up with something you like. Basic knowledge of HTML and CSS though are what you’d need for editing templates.

Daniel asks…
Opening a web design studio or a web templates site?
What do you think would be easier to sell web design… by opening a web design studio (if a client comes start the design from zero) or by creating a templates site where if the clients like any design they can just download it at a price?
webdesignerscotty answers:
Hi, I think both ideas are great With your studio you are acting as a contractor and getting your clients. With a shop, you just make the templates and put them out for people to download (you still have to do some internet marketing to get people there). The best way is to make some of your templates FREE and in your template put a link back to your site. That way if they use it, you get backlinks to your site.
