creating For Profit Online: report Marketing
Before making your website available, proof read all of the text and check all of the pages are complete, all of the links work and it is consistent throughout. To be extra safe, ask a couple of friends to test it for you too, as an outside perspective is better for spotting flaws that you may not have noticed whilst working on your website.

The other thing that you need to think about when you are web development is the size of your text. Choose a size that anyone can see. Don't use small ones because most people will never see them.

creating a website for free Do some keyword research on my list from #2 using Overture or Google's AdWords Keyword Tool or some other tool. I may have to spend some money here, but I'll see what I end up with using the free stuff first. See if the keyword phrases on my list are searched for on the Internet and determine whether I can use them to drive traffic to my new website. Add suggested phrases to my list if they look promising.

creating a website from scratch There are some very famous sites using WordPress, including eBay to power their blog, yahoo to operate their blogs, digg to power their blog, CNN, Ford and countless others. There are other content platforms, but none that cost you nothing and that are as flexible as WordPress. If you want to set up a website using this method, then there will be costs involved. Unless you want a free blog with WordPress in the URL and control of your content by someone else, you will have to register a domain name.

Social Media through sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and LinkedIn are more free and easy ways to promote your business online. Simply post an update about your company or an event and share it on your wall. Ask your friends to share it on their wall so the post then becomes viral.

It may give cool look, but takes a long time to load; even the crawling of Flash-site by search engines too is an issue. You can web design your site much better even without flash.

Once the site is up and running, you will want to add the content that others will view when they visit the site. This can be articles, blogs, video, audio, or photos. Think about what you want to display for others to see. Update your website regularly so visitors will return.
