Choosing a free website
builder or not?
Choosing to found your online business on a free
website builder might seem tempting. But consider the implications
before taking that decision. The problem is that in many cases ...
-
You will appear a sponsor to your clients,
reflected in banners and ads coming with the website.
-
You will have to purchase a lot of add-ons in
order to get the basic features, needed for creating and
promoting a professional website. And that is only the
beginning of what it takes to achieve success.
-
You will likely be bombarded
with emails promoting companies that have access to the
email list that you have to accept to be included in when starting the
free
website.
- Marketing information, proof or guarantee of
website traffic and high rankings, prerequisite for success is not
supplied, indicating a high risk of wasting a year of your life on
achieving nothing, forcing you to reconsider starting another website,
with new software.
I think most serious entrepreneurs would decide to
not run any risk and instead get it right from the start. The top
web site builders of the ABC Website Builder Review are very
affordable and complete from the
start, with
no surprises later on.
Also the small cost for these ultimate solutions
is nothing compared to just a few days of lost work, not to mention a
year or years of fighting windmills, quoting Don Quijote.
Starting a web based business basically requires
the following 2 things ...
- the choice
of web site marketing strategy and
-
the website building software
allowing you to have success.
Assuming you to be a serious internet entrepreneur or upcoming, since
you are
reading this site, I strongly advice you to not just pick the first
offer of a free website builder that you encounter.
Due to
the low price of the complete
SBI Web Business Solution,
at USD $29,99 a month, you can consider the integrated "Sitebuilder" a
free website builder. However it is not to compare with free ones since
the SBI 2.0 solution includes everything you'll need to get
success with your web business.
Sitesell, the company that
delivers SBI 2.0 have tried the following free over cheap to more
costly
website builders to use with the complete SBI solution when you want to
speed up the process of writing content. But in general any html editor
should work with SBI 2.0. These are just some examples they have given.

Advice
about Free WYSIWYG editors
Sitesell has chosen to use Kompozer, the first free choice in the list,
in their
instructions for using a wysiwyg editor together with SBI!, indicating
that it is an easy and safe choice for even beginners to use Kompozer.
Using one of the other editors is very straightforward as well and they
are all easy to use: An important asset for ascertaining and
fascilitating your success.
We
the makers of ABC Web Site Marketing, chose ourselves to go with
Kompozer and it is a very simple and straight foreward to use open
source
editor, containing all the essential functions for creating your web
pages.
The good thing about Kompozer is that it is free and very
simple to download and use on any computer and being continuously
improved.
In fact some professional users have compared it to
some of the top design programs such as Dreamweaver and Frontpage that
cost several hundred dollars and take considerable time to get to know.
However some say that it lacks some design features inherited in
the top editors making the design less professional in their eyes.
None the less, when it comes to success with your website remember:
It
is the content and navigation that counts before the design. Of course
a web site layout that doesn't look professional could scare away many
visitors.
A not professional design can imply bad images,
amateur video recordings, many strong colours and an excessive use of
capital letters, also called "shouting" on the web.
To
sum up, the situation where using a free website builder can be ok, is
when you already have got the whole package, such as SBI
2.0.
