Launching a website

[Reggie Maggard]

Website design/building is not my cup of tea. I need a service that can setup a website for me in which i can generate leads and inform customers of the services I offer. Does anyone have some good suggestions?

Those sites above are good. Except godaddy for hosting is overproced, instead try bluehost or dreamhost. You dont need a private server just get basic shared hosting.

Domain should be free with a year of dreamhost or bluehost. Also you can buy more domains from godaddy just make sure you google "godaddy coupon" first. 

Before you post an ad looking for a web developer you should sketch out each page on a pad of paper. Decide what colors you want where including background, text and areas. Decide what oictures go where. What is your call to action, where are the buttons and forms, what do things around them look like. 

Also decide how many pages you want, if more than 1. Including "secret" pages like lamding pages and squeeze pages. Developers charge extra for each page, and too many pages clutters your website making it less user friendly. So often less is better, 

And like everyone else said, SEO is king. Unless you just want a website for people to goto when you hand them a business card, then SEO (search engine optimization) is the hardest park. If you got the funds this could be someone (or companies) full time job. 

Have fun!
