Online Marketing Promotion: Web Design made Easy

By Darren

Can you put together your own website? I agonized over this a couple of months ago. I didn’t know how I was going to do it, as website design was not my forte. I am not a programmer and don’t know dreamweaver or any other programming language to get a good quality website up and running. I thought about hiring someone to do it, but when you are first starting out with internet marketing, cash can be an issue. It is for me! You could always outsource web design, but for a good design you are still going to pay some money to get it done. I had an idea to design my site on my own, but how do I do it?

I remember searching through the Warrior Forum and reading where someone started a membership site from the WordPress platform. Hmmm… that was years ago! I wondered if there was something new and updated which would make it easier for me to design my own site with minimal work. I knew I wasn’t going to pay someone to design my site and then an idea hit me… I would use my Flexx theme to design my web site! I like the Flexx theme from Ithemes and have constructed several blogs from that theme so I thought, “why not?” I started to dig into the Flexx theme some more and I had one little problem… I wasn’t able to take the date post out of the blog format. I immediately jumped on the ithemes forum to find out how I could remove the date post. I received the answer from the forum real quick. This is one of the things I really like about the guys at Ithemes, they will help you resolve any issues you are having fast. I got an answer to the question very quickly, but it involved changing the CSS within WordPress. I wasn’t to confident in changing the CSS, so I thought my dream of designing my own site was down the drain. But…my mom use to tell me,”where there is a will, there is a way” and lo and behold I found the way!

I bought my Flexx theme last year and had not visited the Ithemes site since that time. I am glad I decided to visit it, because I discovered the Itheme builder. Builder allows you create websites using the WordPress platform in minutes. I am not a web designer and I was able to put up a website in minutes . If you can put up a blog, you can do a web site using Itheme’s builder the same way! I watched the tutorial and within minutes I already had the hang of it and was on my way to finishing my first website. Ithemes builder runs about 127.00, but it will pay for itself, over and over again. I hope you will give Ithemes builder a try! I am not getting any affiliate commission for this and truly believe in the product.
