Affordable Websites For Small Businesses …

are a far better bet than are cheap websites for small businesses.

Judging on price alone is almost always a mistake.  The real key is Value For Money Websites.  To judge whether you are getting value for money, here are some key tests you need to apply when considering buying Affordable Websites For Small Businesses.

Affordable Websites For Small Businesses

Google Rankings – Is there a Guarantee? If no one can find your small business website, your money has been totally wasted.  We offer two guarantees.  The first is a Top 30 Google Ranking, the second a Top 10 Google Ranking (involves extra work and a small extra cost).

However, we tell clients to go with the $495 Top 30 Google ranking unless they have an extremely competitive keyword they want to rank for.  This is because we optimize your website for 4-5 main search terms, at least one of which usually kicks on to a Top 10 Google Ranking.

Affordable Websites For Small Businesses – The Investment Decision …

Any business decision should be about, “Will this make me more money than it costs?”  Our best selling small business website costs $495; this gives you life-long exposure, unlike many other forms of advertising that involve monthly or annual charges.

One of the keys to business success is having potential clients find you in as many places as possible. In the phone book, for a Google search, on Youtube – these are the “must haves” to get maximum exposure for your business.

Affordable Websites For Small Businesses at $495 for Guaranteed Google Rankings are a VERY sound business investment.

We also include a YouTube Video in your “Affordable Websites For Small Businesses” Package.  Youtube is critical to business success these days.

There is another advantage to Youtube that is often overlooked; a search term that has millions of searches on Google may only have dozens of searches of Youtube, dramatically improving your chances.

And people are far more likely to watch a video than read a website.

Your Affordable Websites For Small Businesses Package also includes an Article.

Checklist for Affordable Websites …

Checklist for Affordable Websites: 1.

Do you get your own, unique, website address?  Many cheap websites are built as extensions of someone else’s website.  What does this mean?  Well, affordable websites with their own domain look something like this … www.mywebsite.com.  If it is built on someone elses websites, it can look this … www.someoneelseswebsite.com/yourname or perhaps http://yourname.someoneelseswebsite.com.

In both cases you do NOT own your own website.  Not a good idea when you can build an Affordable Website on your own domain for peanuts these days.  Also, websites built as an extension of someone else’s website usually carry advertising that you have no control over – it may even be one of your competitors.

There is a BIG difference between an Affordable Website and a Cheap Website.  And a Free Website is generally worth about what you paid for it.

Checklist for Affordable Websites 2.

Do you get a unique look for your website?  Most cheap websites are built using “templates” which means there are hundreds, maybe thousands, of websites worldwide that look just like yours.  Our Affordable Websites include a Custom Design, and can even include your images.

Checklist for Affordable Websites 3.

Is what the web designer offering a perfect fit for your business?  Most cheap websites try to force your business to fit their standard design, so they do not have much work to do and can keep the costs down.   An affordable website that fits the website around your business should be available for $300-$500 – We can certainly do it for that price.

Checklist for Affordable Websites 4.

Is the price for an Affordable website “final?” Look out for the trick many cheap website designers try to pull – A low price to lock you in, but once work is started (and AFTER you pay a sizeable deposit) every you want is, “Yes, we can do that, but it is an optional extra.”  Ideally, the website designer should spell out clearly what is included and what is extra BEFORE you sign up.

Checklist for Affordable Websites 5.

Is your website going to turn up in Google?  Cheap websites often have no guarantee of Google rankings; our highly affordable websites offer a guaranteed Google Ranking.

Checklist for Affordable Websites 6.

Are you “locked into” the website deigner making all your changes?  We design simple affordable websites that can be updated by the owner (eg, adding a special offer for the month) and we provide training and backup that enables anyone proficient in MS Word to make updates without the dreaded, “Yes, we can do that, but it is chargeable.”

Checklist for Affordable Websites 7.

Do you end up with an affordable website that adds credibility, class and excellence to your business?  Or do you end up with a cheap website that you arealways apologizing for?  A website is forever – choose carefully.

We hope this Checklist for Affordable Websites has been helpful.

Buying a Website – Get Guaranteed Google Rankings

By Terence Fisher Courtesy of Ezine Articles

Getting ripped off when buying a website is incredibly easy. Many website design companies are desperate for business and will try to get your business at any cost. So if you want to avoid buying a lemon, here are two vital questions that you must ask before you buy a website.

1. Are High Rankings in Google Guaranteed?

If your website looks fantastic, but is buried 10 pages deep in Google, it is totally useless. This is the major disaster many small businesses make. Unless you are in the top 30 Google results, no one will ever see your website – so it does not matter what it will look like. When you look at the Sample Websites provided by your web designer, make sure they include screenshots of where their clients sites rank in Google.

This visual proof is vitally important, because what makes it happen is “under the hood” and partly “off-page” – for example, link building. The elements of Search Engine Optimization are complex and way beyond the average person, unless you want to spend months learning about SEO. Luckily, you do not have to. If you switch your TV on and get a picture, it works; you do not have to understand how it works. Search Engine Optimisation is the same – If your website is showing up in the Top 30 Google / Yahoo results, it is working; how is unimportant. So make sure you get Google screenshots showing websites results for previous sites built by your small business website designer before you buy a website.

You should also make sure that the results are guaranteed in writing; a minimum guarantee of Top 30 rankings in both Google and Yahoo. Part of the website design procedure you should insist on is the sending of screenshots of Google rankings as they start to appear.

2. What Will My Website Look Like.

This is an obvious question, but sometimes the only one that people ask before they buy a website. Two similar questions are equally important – can they show you client websites, and what kind of testimonials do they have. Look through their Sample Websites and ask yourself, “Would a website like one of these make my business look more professional, and – even more important – make more money than it costs?”

Everyone wants to buy a good-looking website and most web designers can provide you with something that looks great – but high Google Rankings guaranteed by your website designer are even more important.

Buying A Website: 7 Critical Factors That Make or Break Your Business

By Terence Fisher

Buying a website, whether business, personal or for your hobby, can be a whole new experience to a person who does not yet have a web presence. Searches on Google can give you confusing results, ending in frustration. So you might be wondering, what’s the ultimate way to buy affordable websites.

Here are 7 critical factors to be considered before buying a website, and there is a hard way and an easy way to cover most of these.

1. Getting a Domain Name

When you buy a website, the first task is registering the correct domain name. A domain name should be chosen very carefully, and we recommend leaving it to the experts – your domain name can make or break your business. It should be precise and relevant to the subject matter of your business/profession/hobby.

Secondly, it is always better to choose a short domain name, because it is easy to remember. Despite the assertion that all the good domain names have gone, a good local web design company has special tools and techniques that can result in a pleasant surprise.

2. Web Hosting Provider Selection

You should look for well-established, reliable web hosting providers when considering buying a website. The server should be fast and backed up by mirror servers. When a server hosts your website, there may be occasional times when there is excessive load or traffic that ultimately results in non-availability of your website. A mirror server acts as a standby and immediately transmits your web content when needed. Again, any local web design company will already have expertise in this area, saving you hours of research when buying affordable websites. If you let your local web design company handle web hosting for you, then you save on set up time and costs, and the technical aspects of web hosting are not your problem.

3. Website Design

The next important factor to consider before buying a website is that of web design. The website should be designed in such a manner so that its main message is clear to the visitor. A poorly designed website turns customers away – the exact opposite of what you are trying to achieve. A basic decision is the platform – WordPress, conventional HTML site, Joomla, etc. Most modern local web design companies go for WordPress these days, a great route to affordable websites that do not break the budget but look terrific.

4. Easy Navigation

A website should have easy navigation, including a site map to cover every piece of information on the site. The old business adage of “Make it easy for your customers to do business with you” is very relevant when you buy a website.

5. Colors and graphics

Likewise, the website should be easy on the eye. A “hard” colored website is often abrasive and causes clients to click away. Moreover, the graphics should be optimized to appear faster on the screen; otherwise the visitor may leave the webpage, even before it gets fully loaded. Respect your visitor’s time when you buy a website and look for affordable websites that are graphically optimized. In particular, avoid Flash websites. Websites that use flash technology are always slower to load, and have more to do with satisfying your website designers ego than satisfying your clients needs.

6. SEO Optimization and Integrated Website Marketing

Before deciding on buying a website, look for SEO optimization plus integrated website marketing. Bit of a mouthful; SEO optimization is simply technical stuff necessary to get good Google Rankings, and best left to your local web design company.

Integrated Website Marketing is adding YouTube videos to your website, creating supportive articles like this one, social bookmarking / networking etc. This should be part of any local web design package.

There are few things sadder than a website that is nicely built, looks good – but with no traffic coming to it. The easy solution lies in SEO and integrated website marketing, where the marketing aspect of your web presence is integrated within the web design package you buy; without proper marketing, the best looking website may prove to be a dead investment.

7. Considering Quality Vs Affordability

Finally, think of balancing quality vs. affordability before deciding to buy a website. If you focus only on the quality aspects of a website, you may have to invest thousands of dollars. On the contrary, a great looking website does not need to be a cheap website.

So look for that rare combination of quality plus affordability when buying a website. Affordable websites that look great are available at: http://www.BestCheapWebsites.com

Here you can buy affordable websites that look fabulous for just $495 (current 2011) with a Top 20 Google spot guaranteed, plus a Youtube video. Even better, all the technical stuff is handled for you – a great domain name is found for you, linked to your web hosting on your behalf, even the Youtube video is uploaded for you – leaving you free to concentrate on your business. So, if a cheap website that looks like a million dollars and has everything handled for you is what you are looking for, check out Best Cheap Websites now.

Why the Humble Kitchen Timer Can Be Your Number 1 Productivity Tool

By Terence Fisher

HOURLY RE-ENERGIZING – THE KEY TO PRODUCTIVITY

How can a kitchen timer be a productivity tool? Well, can you identify with this scenario – you spend hours sitting at your desk without taking a break.. Yeh, me too. When I first went to a Tony Robbins seminar, I was amazed that I could put in 12 to 15 hour days for four to six days at a time, and still have energy to burn at the end of the day. A feature of any Tony Robbins seminar is that every hour you get up, stretch, normally dance for five minutes to great music, and generally re-energize. Hourly Re-Energizing: The Key To Productivity and Health!

I had every intention of carrying this on when I got home, but settled back into my normal routine of sitting at my desk for hours on end. It was at this stage that I brought to the kitchen timer.

THE “ENERGY BREAK”

My normal routine now is to work for 50 minutes and take a 10 minute break. I set my kitchen timer for 50 minutes and get up within five minutes of going off, and take an “Energy Break.” This energy break can take several forms and you can choose the one that works best for you.

I have four main energy break routines, but they have several things in common. The first is that they get my lungs pumping at maximum capacity. Clearing the stale air out of your lungs and effectively having an oxygen break is a major tool in replenishing your energy stores and re-sharpening your mind.

The second factor is exercising your heart and getting the blood pumping around your body again. Not only does your heart start pumping again, but because you are breathing heavily, your blood is being oxygenated.

PERSONAL REBOUNDERS

One of my favourite energy break activities is using my personal rebounder, or mini trampoline. After your heart and lungs, the third most important health mechanism is your lymph system. Unlike the heart and lungs, the lymph system has no pump to drive it. One of the few activities that drives the lymph system is bouncing up and down. The lymph system is fundamental to good health and so I highly recommend using a personal rebounder at least twice a day. I am not sure if it is true, but I remember reading somewhere that five minutes on a rebounder is the equivalent of running a mile – and definitely much easier on your joints. And if you struggle with constipation, the mini trampoline is the greatest natural cure there is!

THE FIVE TIBETAN RITES

Another activity that you can do for just five minutes that gives enormous benefits is the Five Tibetan Rites. Google “Five Tibetan Rites” and you can easily find five exercises that are deceptively simple but incredibly effective. These five exercises are said to exercise every muscle in the body. The advantage of this form of exercise is that you need no equipment and can do it anywhere. Another major benefit is that incorporates stretching into your exercise regime. While I’ve always looked after my aerobic and strength capacities, I have to concede that stretching has been one of the missing elements in a balanced exercise regime, and has become increasingly important as I have gotten older.

TRX TRAINERS

My third form of exercise is using a TRX trainer. The TRX trainer was originally developed for use by the Navy Seals and will fit easily in your briefcase. Because I work from home my TRX trainer is hooked over my office door as a constant reminder that I need five minutes exercise every hour; this way, it gets used. My TRX Trainer also travels with me, as does my two page Tibetan Rites exercise chart.

DANCE LIKE THERE IS NO-ONE WATCHING

My final form of exercise, and one the ladies will love, is to “Dance like there is no one watching.” An aging rocker, my favourite music includes people like Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner, Roy Orbison, etc and dancing to your favourite music is a great way to rejuvenate your energy levels.

RE-ENERGIZE – SHARPEN YOUR MIND – BOOST PRODUCTIVITY

So, get yourself a kitchen timer, divide every hour into 50 minutes of work and 5 to 10 minutes of exercise – and watch your energy levels and productivity soar. A word of warning though – there is as side effect: you become trim, taut and terrific by incorporating 5-minute energy breaks into your day; if you can not handle looking and feeling great, do not do it!

40 MINUTES OF EXERCISE – 5 MINUTES AT A TIME

Note that if you work an 8 hour day, your 8 x 5 minute exercise breaks add up to 40 minutes exercise a day, so now the “I do not have time to exercise” excuse does not work. And if you are in poor health, 8 x 5 minute sessions may well suit you better than a vigorous 40 minute exercise routine.

On a more serious note, if you are not in good shape please consult your medical practitioner before commencing any exercise program. If you are obese or in poor health, a 5 minute walk around the block may be more appropriate to start with.

Now that you are in shape, discover how to revitalize your business – for as little as a $1 a day…
