First off, it is important to do some research when developing your pricing.  Take a little time to find out what other websites like your are charging (you can normally do this by contacting the webmaster, or if there is an 'advertyise with us' link, it should give you rates, this way you have a foundation as to what may run on the high side or the low side.  Secondly, it is important to understand HOW your competiton is charging their advertisers.  The usual and most affordable way to do this is by charging per  impression (which basically means, everytime a user clicks on the link, they will be charged) for a set time.  Many sites also use a initial posting fee (a base cost)  and set a certain limit to an advertiser's time (ie, 30 days, 60 days etc) as well as production costs if you are doing the graphic design for them too (but its best to leave that to the professionals, or prehaps have a freelance Graphis Design Artsist in case you need someone to help you).  This should help you out.

This sounds quite harsh, but I'd perhaps re-think your design and layout. I've recently been hunting high and low for a web designer, hosting domain names etc and have been extremely put off by bad layout.\n\nThe fact that you've got a free website, with loads of banners and adverts would make me think that you're a part-timer, who would take the money and not do the job.\n\nThe design of your website isn't easy to navigate, the flash image is awful on the eyes. I wouldn't let you design my website incase I got the same thing. \n\nJust a few suggestions:\n\n* Make all the colours compliment each other- they clash at the minute\n* Improve your own layout\n* Include a portfolio\n* Get yourself onto a paid website to prove that you take business seriously.\n\nI know that what I've said does sound quite nasty, but if you don't present your own business well then people won't trust you with theirs. Take a look at your competition.

Learn html, buy domain space, decide what youwant on it, write content, design interface.\n\nOr contact a web designer like me (www.foneblog.ie/andym)! I am not lookin gfor wark, just making the point that it can be a lot to take on if you do not knwo what you are doing. If it is just a personal website you mean then consider a blog. If it is a business one (even a sole trader) you are best to get a web designer as it is what you rcustomers see as you so it should look great.

Being a newbie myself I'm finding it extremely hard to building my own website. \nProblem is usually you want your site to be eye-candy and all so you want to master everything at once.\nSolution : follow step-by-step tutorials and on-line classes very carefully because even if you think you already know something it's not alwaays the case.\nThe best way to do, though, is to go ahead and start building your website and even if it will take time, you'll learn from your errors.

I am a web designer and there is no way to create a large scale site quickly unless it looks bad and doesn't work. Many people think this is just a quick thing but there is a lot of back end programming that you don't understand. You need to hire someone who knows what they are doing.\n\nYou may be able to throw together a simple HTML site but nobody does that anymore.

It sounds to me like you have two options.  First, you can go with the general design and download page.  You will find that you can get very reasonable rates for development on this.  There are a good number of flash developers that exist that can create exceptional work in a fairly short amount of time.\n\nSecond, you can go with a site designed to achieve business objectives.  I'm guessing that you have just started the record label.  As such, you need to get some legs under it to keep it driving forward.  Because of this, I suggest not using flash.  It will severely limit your options for marketing and promotion down the line.  It may look very nice and flashy (pardon the pun), but search engines won't do as good of a job at finding it and categorizing it and users may not find the experience as seamless as they could.\n\nFurthermore, you should be taking advantage of all the viral marketing you can.  The site should integrate a blog that introduces stories behind the music, contributes to the industry, and leads your future clients to want more.\n\nDepending on your situation, a simple site may be all that is realistic for the short term.  However, I encourage you to give some thought to the long term goals of the site as it relates to your business objectives.  Don't shut yourself out from possible revenue streams and free marketing in the short term just to have something that you think is impressive.\n\nGood luck.  Feel free to shoot me a message if you want me to elaborate.

There is an initial fee with this one, but you own the web business you create.\n\nIf it's not for you, ok.  If it is, you can earn some extra income from home without having a boss or deadlines.  I did it.  Here's a link to my site:  http://www.professional-resume-example.com.\n\nI'm a 40 year old mother of two and I have no web design or html experience, yet if you look at my site, you'll see that it's as professional as anything out there.  The reason, though, is that the program I used to build my site provides everything I need to create a great site.\n\nIt does take time and effort and you have to pick a topic for your site that you are knowledgable about or that you are really passionate about.  Then, you just write about what you love.  \n\nAnyway, it's something to think about.  It's not for everyone.  My sister would rather eat liver than sit at a computer for a few hours a day.  :)

The first page, eh? From what I've seen and experienced, the first page is unique to the person who made it, reflecting their style and personal technique. I use "Perfect Website Creator" to make my own sites, but I've never published any.\n\nInclude whatever you want, such as music, pictures, even movie files you want to display! If you want feedback on your site, put in a link to send you an e-mail, or a guestbook page for people to write in. You can use Javascript, Java applications, and other things like those, but they have to be programmed into the page, and in secondary files (which can take a lot of your valuable time). If yo want to start basic, just add a picture, a music file, and maybe a few links. Sound good?

The site looks, good - slick and functional but it perhaps lacks the bite needed to draw in customers.\n\nEssentially there is only a very short blurb on the home page about what you do. I'd recommend an additonal page that outlines what you can do for clients in more detail and where possible discuss some projects that you've previously worked on.

If you mean what is the best type of software to use I would say Macromedia (now Adobe) Dreamweaver. If I answer your question the way you ask it, I couldn't give you an answer, I don't what your current site looks like \n\nThe best advice I can give is to search the Internet, look at different site structures and make a notation about what you like or don't like about it. Take all the likes you have listed and find a way to incorporate them into a new web site.

There are lots of great tools out there that are helpful, including sites that offer templates and help you get started. I have been impressed with the tools and service of GoDaddy (www.godaddy.com). If you'd like to learn more about the process, consider buying this book, which outlines the process, step-by-step: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764507206/103-0552344-8898226?v=glance&n=283155\n\nHere's some tips from http://website-design.mcdar.net/\n\nSo you want to build a website here I will explain some simple but also key aspects that are commonly taken in to consideration when a website developer creates a website.\n\n1) Website Design - The website design must be neat meaning that everything looks like where it is meant to be (nothing out of place or out of proportion). Also your sites design is related to the topic of your website e.g. your site is about flowers then your design must have flowers.\n\n2) Site Navigation - Visitors must be able to get where they want to go without going through a maze a good way of putting it if you can get there in 3 clicks it should be fine. Also it helps when search engine spiders go through your site since it makes it easy for the spiders to index the site.\n\n3) Domain Name - Domain name is important since it is one of the first thing that your visitors will see. Your domain should relate to your site topic or business name. Length of the domain usually 6-8 characters is a good length and easy for visitors to type.\n\n4) Scroll Bars - don't make your website pages too long so your visitors have to scroll for hours it is also a good option to just create another page and don't make people scroll side to side.\n5) Returning Visitors - make your visitors return to your site by adding one or all to your site:\n\n- Email Newsletter (Ezine)\n- Community Forums\n- Online Tools\n- Online Games\n- Useful Content\n- Competitions and Prizes\n- and so on\n\n5) Website Logo - Make your logo unique and brandable so that people will remember your logo and then will remember your site and products.\n\nThese are some simple points that you may take into consideration when you build your website if you need some further assistance have a look at your competitors website and see what they have done. Remember what you put in is what you get out of your website and on that note GOOD LUCK and enjoy the whole process of building your very own virtual property.\n\n\nAll that said, if you'd like something simple and quick, here's the company that made my website, and they charged me less than $300. I knew nothing about doing it, but it came out great and they guided me every step of the way: www.wordtechs.com.\n\n\nGood luck with your new venture!\n~Tia~
