A lot of people have decided to become “graphic designers” without the proper training needed to actually succeed. Because of this, companies and their SEO rankings are suffering.

Some web designers build beautiful websites but aren’t functional, and then there are others who find it necessary to use every graphic design tool available – making a website pretty but unusable.

Even though a start-up business may think that they cannot hire a well-known designer, actually there is no correlation between good web design and dollars. It is very much possible to spend lots of money and then not be satisfied with the finished product. Companies should take a look at a designer’s past work or portfolio before committing to their services.

In the Search Engine Optimization and web design world, ugly does not sell! According to Search Engine Optimization for Dummies: 3rd edition, ugly can be the following:

• Color combinations that do not work for a website
• Cutesy backgrounds that look – cutesy, not professional
• Unorganized page layouts that look very amateur
• Awful typeface choices that make the pages close to unreadable
• Combinations of fonts and colors that make the text close to unreadable – such as white text on black backgrounds
• Clunky, unprofessional images and photos

A Dollar and a Dream, or $40. and a Good Possibility ?

You see that’s the odd part. Almost everyone would take a chance on a lottery ticket where your odds are very slim, but many just wont take the plunge of investing $40. when there is a very good chance of making thousands.

Here is my story.

I owned my own “real world” business for over twenty years. About two years ago the economy took its toll on my successful business. I went from making a good living, to being in debt. It was a terrible thing, but I wont dwell on that. Fortunately someone talked me into making my own website.

I knew nothing about HTML or any other Internet skills, but I was running out of options, so I took a chance. I couldn’t believe how cheap it was to make a quality website. I also couldn’t believe how easy it was to setup a professional looking website. Believe it or not, my basic site was up in just over an hour even though I had no experience creating a website.

At first I made a lot of mistakes, but in a short time I corrected them. In just a matter of weeks, I began to make money. I wasnt a millionaire, but it was good money. In about a month, I had made my first thousand dollars.

That was just the beginning. I made several websites and then I decided to create Build a Website Now to help others that might need additional income. Build a Website Now doesnt charge you a thing. We simply provide the information to get you started.

You do not need special skills or programming languages. You dont need to spend a fortune. You dont need to study for months or years.

There is a very good chance that if you create your own website, you will make money !

So the question is, can you afford to not take a chance on your own business for just forty dollars?

There are only two easy steps to creating your own website. The third step is to monetize the website in any of a number of ways.  Get your website up and running, then check our articles on making money.

You even get me as a guide (as much as possible) for $0.  If you have a question, email me at the above “Contact” link.

But this can only work if you decide to take action.
