If you are just getting started and you want to set up a website yourself for free or very cheaply, there are lots of basic DIY website systems in the market place. I have used and recommend godaddy, although there are plenty of other providers, so it is worth shopping around to see which system holds the most appeal for you personally.

DIY can be very cost effective, however, it can also be time consuming and it can be frustrating if you know the look you want to create and it isn't easy to replicate using one of the standard templates.

Have more visitors, all the time, without paying for every click!

The Sales Builder package looks at how to increase visitors to your website, and we base our recommendations most suited to your business and industry. There are many popular ways to increase website traffic, but not all of them are needed for every industry, your marketing campaign needs to be flexible, targeted, fresh and ongoing.  A website needs to be noticed.
Receptive Technologies can get your website noticed by the target groups of most value to you.

2. Increase customer conversion

Achieving more visitors to your website is only half of the problem, yet many SEO experts focus purely on building traffic instead of ensuring that there is a corresponding increase in sales. By focusing on website usability and user experience and conversion, Receptive Technologies’ Sales Builder aims to increase the number of customer conversions from your web site.

A blog is the equivalent of an online journal and there are now blogs about every topic you could imagine.  Blogs are usually started by individuals passionate about a particular topic or by businesses wanting to build their brand profile and showcase their industry expertise.  You can add links to other sites and insert videos, photos, articles etc.

The main benefit of a blog is that it is a very low cost way to get online quickly & easily.

The two primary blogsites were you can site up for a free site are:
www.wordpress.com
www.blogspot.com

If you sign up for a free site your URL or domain name will be something like mysite.wordpress.com
If you choose you can upgrade your blog to a paid account which gives you access to premium features.

It is possible to have a blog integrated into your website, exactly how this is done and the cost will depend on the provider you choose.  Blogs on sites are great for SEO as they are an easy way to keep adding new, regular, relevant content to your website which will help to improve your search engine rankings.
