Web Design Competition

A website is an important part of a business’ marketing functions. There are software packages on the market that allow you to build simple websites without having to know a ton of programming. Dreamweaver is one such program, as is Microsoft Frontpage. These programs are easy to use and work mainly from a design format, although they can also be hand-coded as well. Dreamweaver, for example, is basically an html editor, which uses tables and layers to achieve the effect needed for each individual web page.

There is no need to know much about programming, just a basic ability to drag, drop, and insert what you need into tables to create simple and effective web pages that do most of the work for you on the internet. These types of software packages are called WSIWYG packages or “What You See Is What You Get” – that is, there is no complication, and all that is required to use the software is a basic understanding of the tools and a good eye for design.

These types of software are god for smaller business who is interested in the development of smaller types of websites, which serve mainly as an online brochure for their company. They are easy to use programs, and there is even a multitude of free tutorials on the internet available for anyone who wants more advanced knowledge of web design.

Combine this with graphics software packages like Photoshop, and the small company is well on its way to producing good, clean, attractive and effective website design for itself. These packages for graphic design will help you to design logos, banners and some nifty effects for your website, to give it that ultra professional look at a fraction of the cost in the long run.

As a web designer or webmaster, what is the most difficult part of your job? Building the perfect website whether it be for your clients or yourself. You have to figure out the perfect layout for yourself or your client, to design the web page or pages to be optimized for SEO. Right?

For the internet marketer or marketing newbie, if you do not already know by now having your own web pages designed to capture your leads or make sales from your sales pages, you need a landing page that is SEO friendly and also very eye appealing for your prospective customer.

Most new marketing affiliates never realize that it is very important to have their own landing web pages for whatever they are promoting. As most of the newbie marketers who are just starting out, building websites is not a very easy thing to do. Learning the HTML code, learning how to configure the website layout so it is appealing, plus making sure that it is SEO friendly!

There are several drag and drop website building software products on the net today, but most of them still lack many features to really and truly make them drag and drop, easy to build professional looking websites. So what would be the best drag and drop website builder and what features should it have?

It should be able to build a professional looking website in less than 5 minutes. Build a site with absolutely no HTML skills. Drag and Drop your site to look how you want. Pump out huge campaigns in a fraction of the time. Send your website files to your web host right withing the software without having to use a different FTP program or other software.

You should also be able to use it to get paid to develop professional looking websites for people or companies and build a website in 5 minutes or less! Add video, images, instant screen shots and content in seconds. It should also have the capability of customizing your site using banners, images and let the system worry about resizing, rendering, and making the website look great!

Upload images and banners so that you can reuse them on many different website’s, over and over again all with just a click of a button? Is all this possible? Is all this really possible? If you are using Dreamweaver, NVU or any other website building software…..Have you looked into new technologies offering drag and drop website building?

There are also several companies offering drag and drop website building software that are top notch. But, I have heard a rumor that there is a new one shortly making it’s depute. Could it be true? Real drag and drop website building technology that has NO HTML requirements what so ever and SEO built in? Can you imagine the implications this would have with website building for personal and business use?

I don’t know about you, but to finally have the capabilities of building a website without any knowledge of HTML using strictly drag and drop website technology has me very excited!
