So let’s say you have a great idea for an entertainment or news site. It’s time to get some advice from the experts so you can avoid the mistakes of others and capitalize on what works. Here are a few all around tips that could help you.
If you don’t have a natural talent for web design, then don’t bluff your way through it. Sure, you could design your own webpage using a WYSIWYG editor and it would look like a website. However, amateur websites only invite amateurs—as in friends or family to your website. They aren’t known for attracting hundreds or thousands of targeted users. So when in doubt, rely on professional blogging software (usually free with a web hosting subscription) or free site builders.
Use as many graphics as is necessary, but make sure your site loads quickly. Everybody loves pictures and using photographs and original artwork to sell product or services is always a step in the right direction. However, if you overload individual pages with tons of graphics you will affect the loading time, which may be annoying to many prospective customers. (After all, some customers still use dial up services or satellite Internet services, both of which are much slower than cable or DSL)
Take advantage of free coupons. Some of the top web hosting sites are now offering $50-100 prepaid credit for PPC advertising. This is money you have already spent, so you don’t have to worry about going over budget. Use this credit carefully and after researching some targeted keywords.
