Countless times we’ve heard people tell us that the brother-in-law, nephew, niece, or cousin of such and such did my website and it’s not what I wanted.  We want to make it clear that it’s actually okay to let someone related to you do a website for your when it’s their absolute profession.  All other cases result in a website that looks like something that barely made it to the web, all broken, ugly colors, and scrolling marquees everywhere or it looks all cluttered up and slower than paint drying like a myspace page or it ends up being a myspace page.

Don’t get me wrong here, myspace is a great marketing tool, but only for social networking and secondary promotion purposes, not for representing a professional business.  Additional research has revealed that myspace seems to be the nest for lots of “foe” businesses, you know the kind where mommy and daddy pay for everything and “the so-called business” just gives the entitled off-spring something to do as their contribution to society.  Such businesses usually don’t bother with a real website.  If you think about it they have created their own unique alternate reality where their sales are thriving by networking with the other entitled off-spring.

I’m getting a bit off-track here.  Let’s get back into the purpose we are trying to stress here.  A unique domain name and website serve the purpose of representing the products or services of a business.

Find a web designer who charges a fair price.  The best way is to ask around and get a referral.

In the meantime, please educate yourself before trying to find someone to design  a website for your business with the following information:
