On A Budget? Here's How You Can Have Websites Built For You

If you want your site to be custom built by designers, then you have to be prepared to dish out at least a few hundred dollars. But changing all this is possible as long as you have the knowledge on where to find the best deals and the best designs for the lowest price. Keep reading for the rough guide:

First, you must understand that it is a rip off to get companies to design websites for you. When you look at the classified ads sections at newspapers, you may have noticed advertisements that offer a 5-page website at $500. These companies would have to increase the amount they charge because they're established companies with physical locations and they have to pay off overheads such as office rent, advertising costs, designer's wages, etc.

Finding freelance designers who are working from home would therefore be the wiser option. Not having a high operation cost like that of a company is the reason why these people would often be working from home. On the other hand, they will be able to design images with quality similar to those of designers from big companies, so it's a "no-brainer" choice.

But when choosing freelancers, do so with care. Going to elance.com would be the best way to do this. There, you can post the abstract of your project and get thousands of freelancers to bid on your project, so you will surely get the best deal. You can safely say that your value for money is secured because you will be able to choose the designers based on their experience, past transactions, and ratings.

Designing your website yourself is another route you can take. Why waste hundreds of dollars if you only need five simple pages to present some simple information? All you need to do is spend a little time to do it yourself. You'll be able to design your own sites even if you do not know a single line of HTML code with the help of WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) programs such as Microsoft Frontpage, Macromedia Dreamweaver and so on.
