My article on Do It Yourself Web Sites provides information you can use to make your decision on whether or not to hire a designer or create your own website. I’d really like to hear what you think of creating a web site without any background in the field. If you’ve already developed your own web site, would you share your experiences? Would you do it again or would you hire a professional web designer instead?
I started to make my own web site and I kept messing up and running into things that I had no idea what I should do with. The support at the place I am trying to do this at was pretty much no help at all. Their web site says all over the place how easy it is … what a bunch of liars they turned out to be. I guess that’s why they call it “do-it-yourself” or something, huhhhh? So, I started hunting down how to fix my mess and found your web site. You aren’t kidding when you say that there’s a lot to learn and that it’s really not as easy as these places say it is. I just spent an entire month trying to get this thing to work and it doesn’t. I can’t do this anymore, I’m going to somehow find the money to hire me a real web designer.
WOW! I had no idea there was so much to learn about web site design, but this site has really opened up my eyes! Thank you for putting so much useful information on your web site! There’s a lot of stuff here that really makes a person think!
