Basically, you get your hands dirty and go build yourself a funky little homemade website that hopefully does everything you need.

Now, granted, you may master your website building in a short afternoon. And that’s cool. However it’s when your whole online business starts evolving into a huge portable-empire (it CAN happen!) that you suddenly find challenge on your hands.

The challenge is thus:

Do you, humble entrepreneur, get making a website all by yourself (with help, such as using XSitePro – we’ll get to that in a minute), or do you throw risk into the wind and just find a (hopefully good) web designer?

Of course, there’s NO EASY answer…

That’s because it depends on EXACTLY what you want!

When you hire a web designer to make a website for you, you are doing more than just handing over the “dirty job” to someone else. In fact, by paying a few doll-hairs, you can let the designer concern themselves with getting the site ‘looking’ right.

That’s one less thing to think about when you’re out on the town!

On the other hand, you may feel that by doing it yourself you’ll have more control over the whole project – plus you’ll get to understand how the big ‘website building’ picture fits together.

There’s also the XSitePro web design software alternative.

This is one website building tool that allows you to become your own web designer, astonish your friends and create awe-inspiring websites – without having to watch 300 how-to videos or get intimately familiar with someone’s help desk!

It’s kind of like the secret weapon that the top ‘players’ use (and keep using) – to build websites that send them spinning into completely new tax brackets – in every niche they play in!

So… now that I’ve tickled your fancy, you best go and give her a trial run, or test her out…

Look here: XSitePro web design software

It’s either that – or sit down for the next 3 hours and explain patiently to your web designer exactly what you want done… (And hope she gets it right!)

Of course I’m kidding though… There’s not 10 million WordPress templates out there floating around in cyberspace. But, I’ll admit, there is rather a LOT. Some are way too ‘out there’ for me, but a few are very COOL…

It does take time to search through and find the right web page templates for your specific needs.

Whether you want to make your own website using WordPress (like this) or whether you want to use your own Photoshop templates… Here it is:

This is a question I recently received…

I’ve just realized that I left my (photo) blog dry for long time and it’s almost time to renew my domain and hosting account. Then, I thought of WordPress and you! Could you please suggest me how should I start from? I have WordPress account. Basically, I do need new hosting with..? (the one you use and recommend)?

There’s a TRUCK load of options you could take. You could do what I do which is just host my sites with BlueHost. There’s also DreamHost and I’ve used Hostica too. I believe they (Hostica.com) still have a 1-1-1 plan… That’s 1 site hosted for $1 a month. Can hardly beat that…

You also might want to think about ThinkHost.

ThinkHost are thinking alternative: They provide… “Green web hosting powered by renewable wind and solar energy. Your carbon neutral account supports a more earth friendly future…”

Nutshell: BlueHost is $95 per year and DreamHost is $120 per year. (The more years you sign up for, the lower the cost, mostly).

The great thing about BlueHost is that you can put up unlimited number of domains for the same price. This is good if you have a few blogs (or photo based websites) you want to put up.

You can import Blogger to WordPress easily enough if you need… and whatever you decide to do… create a photo blog, a content rich photo website, a stand alone image gallery… you’ll still need to host your web site with someone… so make sure your host is reliable (been around a long time and has a LOT of happy customers).

That would take care of the hosting part. Now you need somewhere to renew your domain… I would just put it with BlueHost as well…. if you decide to sign up with them. (About $10 for domain registration, per year – is the going fee).

By the way I have been with BlueHost for years now… they’re pretty good… BUT the best thing is their “live chat” help desk. You should make FULL use of it… ask them any questions, and they will help you, walk you through it…

Dreamhost has a ‘unique’ approach too, …it’s ‘owned’ by its employees. So the ‘employees’ get a say on how the business runs. Very cool.
