What a great idea you think, why don't we do that? Whoa! Not so fast! Building a website can be accomplished with programs such as these, but ask yourself these questions:

1. Will a template selected from a group represent my business well?

2. Will it have my branding and approach to doing busienss or will I just have to go with what's there hoping that my branding fits?

3. Will it be easy to add on to as my company grows?

4. Will my website be compatible with mobile devices such as the iPhone?

5. Does my business own all the site graphics, design and content?

6. Will I be helped to understand what keywords, terms and tags will help position my firm in search engine results?

7. How can I be certain my site is registered with search directories, search engines and can be found by Google?

If you are unsure of how to answer any of these questions, you owe it to yourself to do a bit of research on what constitutes a good website, how to create strong keyword centered copy that properly describes your business and gets you found in search engine results.
