Are you serious about building your business? Successful entrepreneurs know that Internet marketing is the fastest way to gain massive exposure. Let me show you how to build a professional looking website for less than $50.

About 5 years ago when I started out in Internet Marketing, free website templates needed a degree and significant experience in HTML programming language to make simple changes. Not so these days, with the advances in free template technology most templates now come with a full content management system (CMS) and web hosting.

What does this mean for the novice webmaster?

Simply put, all you need to do is pick a free web template that suits your business logo colours and industry content, register a domain name and you’re up and running. Some free web template providers will include your domain name registration in with the fee for hosting your new site.

The best prices I have sourced so far for Free Web Template packages range from $12 AU a month for a free web template, CMS and web hosting up to $39.95 AU a month which includes a free web template, more advanced CMS, 10 email addresses and domain name registration.

If you already have a domain name registered then you will need to login to your domain registrar and move your ‘name servers’ over to your new web host, your free template site provider should supply instructions on how to do this when you sign up.

Free website template companies usually provide a demo you can trial before signing up on how to use the content management system and provide tutorial support on all the functioning of their CMS systems when you purchase a free web template with web hosting. There are simply no more excuses for not having a website online to promote your business.

Domain Name Registration

Ideally you will select a domain name that refers to your operating business name or industry. If you are working for yourself and don’t have a registered business name instead of using your own name as your domain name pick a .com version name that is going to give you the best chance of getting ranked on the search engines.

What does this mean? Select a domain name that involves your major keyword/s related to your product and service offerings. You are not trading under this name you are just promoting your business via this website. Any sales go through to your normal business name or sole trader name and you can make clients aware of this on your ‘Contact Us’ or ‘About Us’ web pages.

Well priced Domain name registrations in Australia start from $12.95 AU for a .com version for 1 year and $29.95 AU for a .com.au version for 2 years. If you are paying more than this then the provider is making money on registering the domain name on your behalf. It is a very simple process that you can do yourself.
