Make your own website and have access and freedom to revise your site as often as you like, whether it is on a weekly or daily basis. Drop the web site designer, and you'll find maintaining your website innovative, spontaneous, and fun. Editing your website, keeping it fresh, adding new content and ideas is great. Paying someone to maintain your site, and paying for every revising project, can be money better spent. Some basic tips can get you on your way with ease.

Choosing a Sitebuilder

For the technology challenged, and not so challenged, a sitebuilder with no HTML required, is a good choice. A sitebuilder can have some limitation for image placement, but for most websites, work well. There is a choice of templates, or use your own images. Sitebuilders have a selection from personalization, forums, blogs, to shopping carts. Some have phone support 24/7. My favorite. For your quality experience, most update their own sitebuilder editors with the newest conveniences, and tweaks.

Keeping your Site Visitor Friendly

Alot is said for search engine friendly, but your visitors will quickly leave, and will not return, if your site is annoying. You may try a couple gadgets on your site, that mirror the content of your site, offer additional info, and are visitor friendly. But for alot of people, bouncing objects, flashing lights, sudden loud chat, and clutter is annoying. Keep a basic format for your site, with pleasing color combinations, and easy to read dark text on light backgrounds. Avoid black backgrounds. I have seen them, even with dark text on them. Keep your site fresh, crisp, and visitor friendly.

Keeping your Website Sticky

Whether your website is your personal interest site, or your business presence, a "sticky" site gives your visitors a reason to return. Charts, reference boxes, an innovative touch, or a personal review of a service or product can keep your site bookmarked. A bit of humor, personal reflection and experience can share the human factor. Update your site often, with fresh info, expression and keep your website sticky.

Concise is a Good Thing

Your website should fulfill a purpose for your visitors in the form of information, entertainment, reference, trust or a product to suit their need. You may provide inspiration, tutors, and your unique presentation, in which, you may seek a response, an action or evoke an emotion. Human exchange is limitless, but brevity is a good thing. A page should be 300 to 500 words of original, relevant content, with a few exceptions. Most people do not have the patience to scroll, to the NetherWorld. Most visitors skim a page, to capture quick tokens of relevance. Be bold, and be concise, and be gone.
