Make me a website, Create a website or Build me a website,
however you want to put it that's what you want.
Usually you only have a couple of options when it comes to purchasing a website
The first option is to pay through the Nose to have a web design firm build your website.
The second option is to build a website yourself.
So lets briefly review our first option,
You can spend hundreds or in some cases thousands of dollars to have a website built for you, then any changes or updates that need to be done you will also pay a fee for that, Usually any updates or SEO work is at an additional cost.
The second option of building your own website also has it's own downside.
You will need to spend countless hours researching and reading reviews of all the different web building software that's available in an effort to figure out which website building software will work for you.
I have found most of what you find online in regards to "reviews" or "comparisons" are nothing more than a sales pitch.
In some cases you will jump in and by a website building program only to find out that building a website is not as easy as it seems, "knowing how something is done is not the same as knowing how to do it."
That's where BMD Web Design puts a Twist on website design.
What if you don't want to be committed to a relationship with a big design firm?
What if you want to have total control of your website but don't have the time to learn the ins and outs of website design.
Not to mention all the behind the scenes operations that need to happen in order to make your site visible to organic searches, Keywords, meta tags, H tags, sitemaps etc.
BMD Web Design gives you an option.
I have spent countless hours working with software I have purchased to build websites with many of the products available online today in the pursuit of a user friendly and functional program for building websites.
User friendly and Functional, aren't they the same?
Nope! I have found some website building programs that a child could use, "User Friendly"
But they lacked some of the Functionality required to build a professional looking and performing website.
I have also used programs that are tagged or marketed as "Industry Standard" but these programs can be very expensive and extremely hard to use and could require years of working with them to become efficient at building and maintaining a website.
One of the options offered from BMD Web Design works like this.
I build my Websites with Serif WebPlus x4, This program has the feature set required to build a professional looking and performing website, along with built in features I have not seen in any other program like the ability add a Blog, Forum or a Calender for scheduling.
You would under normal circumstances need totally separate programs for each of those functions.
If that's not enough the options for working with Images and Artistic text with Serif WebPlus x4 are worth the price of admission.
I use this program for editing photos, creating Logo's, Fliers and so much more, you can export your creations as an image.
BMD Web Design can build your website for you.
From that point I can help arrange hosting, Domain name and updates as usual.
The other option is to purchase WebPlus x4 for yourself, I will build your website for you, Email the files to you and then you can upload your website and have the ability to change or update your website anytime you want.
Serif also offers Hosting solutions for registered owners of Serif software.
So now you have a choice.
Have your website built and then at your leisure work with your website and learn the ropes on your terms instead of being rushed into trying to learn to build it yourself.
The choice is yours.
My Website designs are based on what works in the real world, and what works is a website design that promotes you or your company in a positive way by having a website design that lets your visitors know who you are and what you offer all wrapped up in an easy to navigate website design.
whether it's a Personal website to share with friends and family or an affordable website to promote your Business
or sell products or services, a clean easy to navigate website design is a must.
This type of website design is not just good for your visitors, the website design also effects how well search engines can index your website, This is called search engine optimization, aka SEO
The easier it is for the search engines to crawl your website the easier it is to index thus increasing the odds of your website showing up for organic search results.
What is a search engine optimized website?
A search engine optimized website is a website that is designed and built in a way that makes it easier for
search engines to crawl, and index your website based on things like Header tags, Meta tags, Keywords and Content.
What are the advantages of a search engine optimized website?
* Makes a good first Impression.
* Customers can find your website.
* Gives your website a competitive edge.
* Allows you to advertise 24 hrs a day.
* Helps to increase the success of your Marketing efforts.
Why should I pay someone to build my website when there are so many free options?
Yes, there are plenty of free options out there for you to build your own website but when contemplating building your own website usually the first thing that comes to mind is aesthetics “What the website looks like”
Yes, you want your website to look nice but the real beauty of website design is the functionality and content and how effective it is at portraying you or your business in a manner that promotes trust and thus turning visitors into customers or clients.
