Best web site builder

Hey everyone, sorry for not keeping up with my blog. today i wanted to discuss about a possible software we can all use to build web sites.
Some people might think that this is not a sales letter but that is not my intention. i am just trying to let you know what is available out there and which one in my opinion is the best software to built web site if you are a newbies or even a pro.

I've done a lot a research lately and have found 3 main contenders:
Dreamweaver
Xsite pro2
Site build it
let's take a look at the pros and cons of them all.

Dreamweaver is packed with features. Out of the three, it has the greatest flexibility and you can create any type of website, static or dynamic. Now this is a good thing as more experienced web designer can get their hands dirty and create some fabulous looking website.
However after trying to use the software for a week or so, i was left frustrated by the lack of progress i made on my site (by the way I'm an aerospace engineer and i work with really complicated softwares to do lots of stress analysis) because there's so much to adjust and fine tune. I wouldn't say it's very intuitive as the learning curve is huge. Sometimes, i wanted to do something really basic and i had to look around and on the internet for ages to get it sorted. I believe a true web site builder shouldn't make your life difficult and Dreamweaver can do just that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The thing i hate the most about it is, when you go online and find a video tutorial, you get someone showing you a bunch of code which automatically turns you off.

Now if you have a lot of time in hand and bored, by all means go ahead and use it. However if you looking to make a site quickly, this is not the software i would recommend.

I know i will probably get few people disagreeing with what i said but if you think about it, why would spend ages designing a web site when you have better things to do like concentrating on your web site content and selling products.

My verdict:

Go for Dreamweaver if you are confident with programming and have a lot of time in hand.
Do not go for Dreamweaver if you want to build a site quickly and more focused on content.
In my next post, i will talk about Xsite Pro2. So stay tuned......................:)

Thank you for reading this post.

Ps: I found a place where you can buy really useful Dreamweaver tutorials.  Check it out, it might come in handy if you are learning to use Dreamweaver

Video Marketing I've been doing a lot of web designing lately, mainly on my wordpress site which is now complete. It has taken me a long time to finish that project mainly because there was so much learning to do. The site is not live yet but I am hoping that once I figure out my marketing strategy and how my site will be exposed on the net, I will put it live. On this note, I want to draw your attention to video marketing which is supposed to be the next big wave on the net. From research I found that more and more people are watching videos online now (55% or more). So if you have a good video with lots of relevant content and a message to put accross, you are more likely to gain customers.   Having said that, let's see why and how video marketing can be really good for drawing traffic to your site and more. First and foremost, in order to draw traffic to any site, you need good solid content and there is no shortcut to it.  You need to sit down and produce or write some...
Increasing your google ranking From research, I have found that  50 % of online purchases are researched from a search engine. By optimizing your eBay store, you can improve your rankings on search engines results and hence boost your sales. This is absolutely free of charge. If you think about it, most people will only visit the first ten results they get on any search engine. OK, with these key ideas in mind, lets look at how we can send more people to your website.  Who knows, by increasing web traffic we may increase inquiries, orders and profit.

The sentence should be edited in such a way that it contains keywords relating to increasing web traffic.

Driving Traffic to your eBay store using your URL. Add a signature to your emails. Nowadays most email accounts allow you to set up one, which can be inserted automatically with a link to your eBay store. Use it to your advantage, as this is free marketing. The more people see your link to more traffic you will generate. Set up a website, even if it’s made of 2 pages only!! What you need to do tough is to make sure you include a link to your store somewhere. It’s the same concept again and again. I use Google page maker to write guides like this one and drive this free traffic to my web site or store. You can use this technique anywhere, web blogs, Facebook, my space etc…the possibilities are endless, use your imagination. Quick note: You can get referral credits if you bring anyone to eBay and makes a purchase. So let’s say you have a web site on ì how to sell on eBayî and people start going to your store using the link you have place around your site, eBay will pay you a refer...
