Creating A Website

Posted by Guest Author on July 17, 2010 under Website Building | Comments are off for this article

Last month my baseball coach asked the team if any of us new how to make websites. He wanted to build a site to show off the teams statistics. Our coach Larry thought that our site should have full animation so that it could impress site visitors. I knew how to make sites, but really didn’t want to volunteer to do extra work. My buddy ended up telling the coach that I know how to make websites before I got the chance to tell him to keep quiet. Of course I couldn’t lie and say that I couldn’t, so I ended up being stuck with the task.

Knowing that the coach didn’t have a large budget to work for, I decided to try and find a free web host and some discounted seo services. I’d use local Minneapolis seo services to keep seo costs down. I found some great blogging platforms, and built a site using Blogger. After showing the site to coach Larry I was kind of embarrassed. He didn’t want to offend me so he said it was good, but I could see in his eyes that he was not satisfied. I immediately told him that this was just an outline and that the real site would be coming soon.

I went back to the drawing board to think about what kind of platform I could use to make a great site. After searching around the Internet I decided that the best way for me to make a great web site would be for me to use flash. Using this platform I could put in some fully animated graphics. Also, I’d be able to put in short video clips of my teammates at bat. I figured the guys would really love to see some highlight clips of the team on the Internet.

A thorough search of the Internet brought me to a place where I could get a free flash website. I signed up at the site and looked through what they had to offer. This site was just what I needed. Although I ended up devoting an additional two weeks to the site I am very happy with the new look. After seeing the look the coach gave my new site, I knew it was good. Using Surge Seo we got the site ranked in the search engines.

The rest of the team loved the site as well and Jack’s dad even asked me to make a site for him. He said he’d pay me, but I think i’ll do it just for the fun of it.
