Behind the Scenes Look of a Website Creation

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

It’s not very often that you get to see a website being created bit by bit online (unless its your own!), WHILE it’s being created! I hope you are enjoying and learning from this behind the scenes look of a website creation.

Normally, when you visit any given website, it is already completely done before you ever reach it. It’s just sitting there waiting for you to do something. Order a service or product, get product information, subscribe to a list, read a blog, watch a video, download an ebook, etc., etc. If you haven’t produced all or any of the many different types of websites that are possible, you may not realize all the work that goes into creating one. I’m sure you have made “one” type of website (adsense sites are easy!), or perhaps are getting ready to do so if you are just starting out. This website that you are at here right now, incorporates a lot of different items and methods that can be employed into a website. I may have went a bit overboard with all the things herein, but it’s purposely done that way so you may be able to decide if the technique (or tool, software, etc.) will be appropriate for your own websites.

A website creation can take many forms depending on what the website owners purpose for that particular site is. My purpose here is to hopefully teach you something or give you ideas about making a website. Also, reaching the goal I have set for this website would be nice, too :-)

If you have comments, questions, ideas or suggestions, don’t hesitate to post a reply! Good or bad, I promise I’ll let your thoughts be published on the page. Let me know, are you finding this site beneficial? Are you learning something new? Or am I wasting my time?

This behind the scenes look of a website creation changes from day to day as the sections get completed. Be sure to bookmark it so you can come back later to view the parts that aren’t working today! I’d also appreciate you spreading the word about this website, use one of the bookmarking buttons below this post!


Make it available on a CD

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Sure, it’s convenient & fast (sometimes) to have digital products available for instant download immediately after purchasing them. But what about those that are still on a dial-up connection? Do you have any idea how long it takes to download 100 megabytes? A strategy I am employing on this site is to make it available on a cd.

Yes, thats right! Any package that is offered for sale on this site is available both ways. If you don’t have a problem downloading a HUGE quantity or size of files (or spending all the time required to do so) then you can select the instant download option. However, if you do have a slow internet connection, don’t want to waste your time downloading, or simply just prefer items on a cd, I am making all these products available to you on a cd!

You will see this option available after you hit the red “order now” buttons!


Got a Great Idea for a Website?

Friday, May 9th, 2008

I’m sure you probably have many ideas for starting up a website.  Is it a great idea?  Have you done research on it to make sure you’re not the only one who thinks it’s a great idea for a website?

It takes a lot of pre-planning to setup a website.  Or should I say, a lot of planning if you want it to be useful, functional, and serve an actual purpose (like generating you some cash).

For instance, I have about 12 hours into this website so far, and as far as you can see, it doesn’t have much going on as of yet!  Most of this time was spent in research & designing just the homepage.

Yes, research takes time to do.  Better spent now before you produce a website, then after.

I sort of fell onto doing this site.  I read many different websites & blogs, and kept noticing that people would constantly be asking others for advice on what to do with a website, how to accomplish certain goals, specifics about one aspect of creating a website, etc.  Sure, there are a lot of other sites out there that get into great detail about HOW to do, usually, ONE thing that’s based around making a website.  But what about all the “other” things that must be done?  I didn’t find very many places that offered a “start to finish” teaching method.  So voila! that was my idea, and here we are.

Of course, your own research may not be that easy.  There’s lots of holes to be filled in almost any area (niche markets), and when you run across one, well that just makes things really easy then.  But if you want to start something specific in mind, you may find it has way too much competition for you to even think about getting into that market.  Then its back to the drawing board, or you must narrow the market down into a smaller niche.  Look around, keep searching deeper & deeper, and you just may find that great idea you’ve been looking for.  Or perhaps NOT looking for.  Many successful businesses have been starting by locating a market that isn’t being served yet, but you won’t know unless you do some research.

I have got a great idea for a website, and you’re looking at it.  THAT was step one, get a great idea.  It’s just the beginnings of a long procedure of things to do.
