Articles, and How to Choose a Web Designer With Search Engine Optimization Techniques
James Murray asked:
There are two important things to remember when looking for a web designer;
a) It is important to go with a freelancer if you are looking for a small and simple website. You can probably get one done for $30 to $50. There are many freelancing companies on the web that you can tap into to find the designer for you.
b) It is important that you ask to see a few sample websites that the web designer has done and that you check any ratings that may be available for the designer. This may keep you from getting wrapped up in a project with someone who will not finish or cannot do the type of job that they claim they can do.
If you cannot put together your own website to host your articles on and you do not want to pay the extra $7 to $12 dollars per month that it may cost to get a host that offers a What You See Is What You Get website builder, then your only other option is to hire a web designer. The good thing is that, if you are looking for a very basic 2-5 page website and you hire a freelancer rather than going with a web design company, then it will be relatively easy on your wallet.
Learn to use search engine optimization techniques when writing your articles. If hiring a writer to write articles for you, you can
choose one who already knows about SEO or you can supply them with a list of keywords and let them know where they should be placed and how many times they should be repeated throughout the article. Optimizing your articles for search engines will help them rank higher when someone searches for a keyword relating to your subject, which means that you will receive more visitors because more people will actually see your URL. It is a fact that most visitors do not look past the first search engine result page and by the third search engine results page there is practically no audience left for you to promote to. What this means for those on the third or high page is no traffic. This is why it is very important for you to make sure that your articles are prepared in a way that will eventually get them to that first or second search engine results page.
