How
I learned the right way to build a small business
web site
by
Lou Bradbard
Hi! I'm
Lou, the webmaster for Lake-Sunapee-Living.com. Here
I am with my fiance Andi at Sunapee Harbor.
I
want to tell you the story of how I started Lake-Sunapee-Living.com.
I use a very powerful web site hosting system called
SiteSell to build this web site and several others.
If you have any interest
in using
the
web to promote your business, or using the web to
run a business, I urge you to take a look at the video
at the bottom of this page. Even if you don't
bother to read this article, PLEASE skip to the bottom
of
this page and click on the video. You will really
be
amazed at what this powerful web site system can
do for your business.
Lake
Sunapee Living.com was created by my company Wild Goose
Web Design as an internet portal for all businesses,
artists
and
craftspeople in the Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee Region.
Our goal is to promote the region, provide information
to visitors to the area, and provide the highest level
of web site service to local businesses using the SiteSell
method to build and promote our web sites.
Why
do small
businesses have so many problems with their web sites?
Before
I discovered SiteSell I didn't know what I was doing.
Imagine that a 20 year veteran of the high-tech
industry could not build a web site! I knew the technology,
but not how to use it to promote a
small
business.
I tried
to find
a successful
small
business web site to use
as
a model
for starting my own web site.
I
talked with a lot of small business people and heard
a long list of problems from a lot of very unhappy
folks whose web site efforts had all gone wrong somehow.
“I
can put up a billboard and get calls the next day.
I put up a web site and nothing happens.”
There
were problems at every step – unresponsive & overpriced
webmasters, hosting providers’ relentless up-selling
of more and more web site features and services, and
no useful information available to the owner to help
correct what was wrong with the site.
If
they could eventually get their web site built, they
ended up with no traffic & no sales, but a stack
of bills & an e-mail inbox overflowing with spam.
Even the smartest folks who ran very successful businesses
were frustrated. Some had spent thousands of dollars
with no visible return.
When
I tried to build a small business web site I felt
like I was stumbling around in the dark.
I
learned that nearly everything I studied in my computer
career was completely useless for building an effective
small business web site. I know the technology inside
and out but that didn’t help me at all. I needed
to learn how to make the right decisions.
The
possibility of starting my own web site business was
looking pretty dim
Then
I found a better way. I learned there are two kind
of web sites - regular web sites and effective web
sites.
In
my former career as a software tester for IBM, I learned
to identify missing pieces of a puzzle. When I stumbled
on SiteSell I
was skeptical of their guaranteed claims but I kept
reading and eventually realized that this was
what was missing from the small business web site puzzle – a
complete system for researching, planning, building,
and monetizing a web site for any type of small business.
They
have thousands
of successful sites to use as examples,
an arsenal of essential tools, and a library of information
including specialty articles for the most common types
of businesses, and they even show how to write for
the web!
The SiteSell web
hosting service includes everything you will need to
run an 
online
business for a single fixed price - less than a dollar
a day! SiteSell's web site builder tool called Site
Build It is very easy to use and will handle
all of the technical stuff for you.
SiteSell is
perfect for non-technical people and for those with
computer skills. If you can use e-mail you can use SiteSell to
build your passion into an online business.
The
web site design business is currently like the home
construction industry was 100 years ago, before the
building code was created. There is just no set of
rules to specify the right way to build a web site. SiteSell has
created those rules and built them into a fail-proof
system.

Just
how effective is SiteSell?
Our LittleShamrocks.com Irish
Food & Travel site is in the top 1% of all web
sites for visitor traffic. Here is the current
site traffic rank provided by Alexa.com traffic ranking
service:
You
can do it too!
All
you need is an idea! If you don’t
have an idea, find someone who does. That is how
I partnered with Tyna to create this Irish food web
site. She creates the content and I build the web
site and follow the SiteSell method.
