Template Website Or Customized Website...that Is The Question!

I am constantly asked the same question over and over on my blog. The question is should I get a customized website or just use one of the template sites.

That use to be a complicated question. Before I could answer the question I had to ask what type of website are you going to create? Is it going to be a "store front" for a brick and mortar company or is just going to be a simple "squeeze page" to capture individual's names and email addresses?

Customized websites require lots of coding and is going to be the best setup for a brick and mortar type of website...one that sales products on the web. The template will work fine for just creating squeeze pages.

You won't be in business long just by creating squeeze pages and capturing names and email addresses so don't waste your money on a customized site.

For the brick and mortar type of website, you need to go ahead and spend the money for good hosting and custom website creation. Your site will look professional and it will make the sales you are wanting. Good hosting will run you around $25 a month.

Remember, you are paying just to have the site created for you. Now that you have a site created, you have to worry about hosting issues, payment processing issues and the list goes.

Hosting is required for every website. This is what makes the website live on the net. Without hosting, you don't have a website!

So now the question is who do I get to host my site? Again, good hosting should run you around $25 a month. See what I mean, it sounds simple, but it is a complex issue.

Google, Yahoo, MSN, and all the other search engines hate duplicated content. And now as of 1st of January our original question becomes a no brainer. You have to have a customized website.

They are constantly banning sites that have duplicated content. On the 1st of January, Google slapped thousands of website templates. Why you ask? Every template is duplicated thousands of times over the net. Sure the info may be different, but the template is a duplication.

So what does all this mean to you? Basically it is saying that no matter what you do, if you are using a template for your website that you will never be able to make it an optimized site. Your site will never ever be in the top 10 of any search engine because they will see it as a duplicate website and you won't be optimized.

O.K. so now you know you have to have a customized website to be optimized on the web. The question now is who do you hire to do this for you? Who do you trust to do a good job and give you a guarantee? I have that answer for you as well. The company that I use is offering to build your site, host your site and even pay for your domain name. All you have to do is type up what you want your site to say, and pay for the hosting. That is it!

Now you ask how much do they charge? Well I have paid in excess of $5,000 for some of my sites with this company and they do an excellent job. Now I am blown away at what Randall is offering to all new clients (that does not include me!) For a limited time Randall and his team is offering new hosting clients a FREE customized website!

You heard me right. What he was charging me in excess of $5,000 he is giving all new paid hosting clients a completely FREE customized website. I have begged him not to do this because I know he will be swamped with new customers and he won't have time to listen to me complain about Google. (Maybe that is why he is doing this...you think!)

So the conclusion for this article is you don't really have a choice anymore. If you want your site to be optimized, you have to get a customized website. Now you have the answer, now what are you going to do about it!
