How to Get Websites Built for You on the Cheap

[]

If you want to have professional designers custom build your site, you should expect to pay at least a few hundred dollars. All of this can change if you know where to look for the best deals and the best designs at the best prices. Here's a starting point:

To begin, you must understand that hiring companies to design websites for you is a rip-off. Have you ever seen those classified ad advertisements in newspapers offering a 5-page website for $500? Because these are established businesses with physical locations, they must raise their prices to cover overhead costs such as office rent, designer wages, advertising costs, and so on.

As a result, it is prudent to seek out freelance designers who work from home. Because these people frequently work from home, they do not have the high operating costs that a company does. On the other hand, they will be able to design images with the same quality as designers from large corporations, making it a "no-brainer" choice.

Choose freelancers with caution, however. The best place to start would be elance.com. There, you can post the abstract of your project and have thousands of freelancers bid on it, ensuring that you get the best deal. Furthermore, you will be able to select designers based on their experience, previous transactions, and ratings, ensuring that you get the best value for your money.

Another option is to design your website yourself. Consider this: if you only need 5 simple pages to present some basic information, why spend hundreds of dollars on it? Spend a little time sitting down and doing it yourself. You'll be able to create your own websites even if you don't know a single line of HTML code thanks to WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) programs like Microsoft Frontpage and Macromedia Dreamweaver.
