The appearance of one's website is one of the most imperative features of his success and the service or product will be exactly judged by the look of his website. When one begins developing his site, his objective should be to make a 'template' that he can utilized to design each page of his website. This is important in order to give the entire website the same feel and look.

Website Template and Webpage Formatting

A website template is in fact a simple 'page shell' that has one's entire webpage design, images, navigation links, logo and specific passage of the content.

For many people eager to get into the affiliate marketing business, the construction and uploading of a website is a daunting prospect. Like much of information technology, web design utilizes a language of its own, much of it jargon, and those who don't understand it often feel intimidated. But it doesn't have to be that way!

Static or CMS?

Websites fall into one of two basic categories:

Those constructed of pages of HTML code linked together, or static websites, where a designer has to create a design for the site and a developer or programmer has to write the code to make it work.� This is the traditional way, and is still perfectly acceptable for small sites, but it does require some knowledge and access to a server.
Content Management Systems (CMS) in which pages are generated dynamically from data stored in a database.� It sounds complicated, and to be honest it is, but the great advantage for the user is that the interface is generally no more difficult to use than the average word processor.� And a CMS has major benefits over a static website too:


it can be edited via an ordinary browser
it can be edited from anywhere in the world
it can be edited by anyone with an appropriate login
it needs no technical knowledge to operate
Pages and menus are updated automatically
it is incredibly versatile
your website can be up and running in minutes

Open source software

The open source movement has been gaining strength in recent years and now offers a huge range of software available to the general public, most of it free of charge.� This includes popular business programs like Open Office, and web creation software like WordPress, CMS Made Simple, Drupal and Joomla!�

Let us look at each in turn.

Joomla

Joomla's predecessor, Mambo, was one of the earliest open source CMS systems available.� Mambo is still currently available, but due to a dispute between its various founding factions it is now completely unrelated to Joomla.� Joomla, however, remains extremely popular, partly because of its huge range of extensions, its massive range of themes and the almost endless customising capability it offers.

WordPress

WordPress is another open source platform, originally developed for blogging but also very suitable for creating a Content Management System.� Once again it has a huge range of templates, many of them free, widespread support, popular forums and a massive selection of add-ons and plug-ins.

CMS Made Simple

CMS MS is yet another open source offering, often favoured by web developers because of its very good SEO capability.� It is possible to customise a CMS MS website with your own template, so for example you could replace an existing static website with a content management system but keep the appearance identical.

Drupal

Drupal is also an open source CMS platform and is often used by professional web developers as a method of quickly creating websites for clients.� Like the others, it has a huge range of customisation features, great support and plenty of sophisticated add-ons like shopping carts.

So which do you choose?

For most affiliate marketers, the website needs to be rapid to construct and easy and quick to edit so that he or she can concentrate on their content rather than the nuts and bolts.� There are many marketers offering ready-made affiliate websites, usually incorporating a hosting plan and including ready-made areas where affiliates adverts can be placed.� The content for these sites is often taken from article directories, and some even include links to these directories so that all the marketer has to do is select the one they like.� One slight issue with this approach is that these sites tend to be "cookie cutter" -- in other words identical to a great many others.�

Another approach is to use WordPress and customise the site with a ready-made template.� This can be incredibly quick to implement - I have created a site and had it live within a couple of hours with this method - and offers a means of creating a unique site where the content and the colour scheme can be customized to suit the subject.

A search in ClickBank should return a number of vendors selling custom landing pages which can be used either in a static website or as an additional page in a WordPress site.

Good web design quality is required to make it even easier to read and easy to navigate site. That's where designers come in.

This type of web design is an excellent choice for companies that do not have a webmaster, artists who need to regularly update their galleries, and web sites that a particular content (members only).

Content management systems allow users to some of their own web design using a simple text editor - just like Microsoft Word or other major word processors. This means that people can no training in web design to add or remove expansion of the site, how they want to change without employment as a designer for everyone. For a large dynamic website is the ideal solution, as well as more profitable.

Such systems typically use a database that can store objects, content and other system information is necessary - usually in XML format. Then there is a presentation layer on a set of design patterns of Web sites that actually shows the contents of the website is based audience. Plug-ins and modules to expand the functionality of the site to add, and makes the CMS software is regularly maintained at the site of current standards to date.

But for a small single page, change is often not a leader, not a lot of information, CMS is an exaggeration.

Have you ever visited website where the colors don't match? People are attracted to colors so if your web page colors are unattractive it may affect the retention rate of your visitors. Site owners may fall love with a particular color they like however it may turn off their visitors. When designing a website choose colors that suit your products or services then ask for opinions from other people before you begin building the actual site.

How to add color to an HTML web page in 4 different ways

1. Edit HTML

If you want to change the background color of an HTML page simply open it with your web editing software. A professional web designer would either use website editing software such as Dreamweaver or hand code the HTML in Notepad.

Place your cursor after the head tag and type body bg>
Choose your favorite color e.g. #003399 will give you a dark blue background.
Save the web page by clicking on file -- save.
Open your web browser to view the new web page color
Upload your HTML page to the server
2. Use a cascading style sheet(CSS)


CSS is a popular way to change the design of your web page without affecting the HTML. This keeps the design separate from your content. To change the background color of your web page simply enter the color you wish to use in your style sheet

body {background-color: #00CC66;}

This will make the background color of your web page a light green.
Save the file as style.css
Code the CSS file into your web page between the head tags at the top of your page
link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"

This creates an external style sheet which allows you to change the color or any of your design elements by editing one file. There is no need to edit any HTML of your web pages.

3. Create background image

A background image allows a lot of design flexibility to create gradients or a mixture of colors within the image. The best way to achieve this without editing your HTML is to use CSS.

body {background-image: url(images/gradient.gif);

background-repeat: no-repeat;

background-position: 280px 440px;}

The above CSS code shows an image called gradient.gif that doesn't repeat on the page. This means the image will serve as a background to the web page. The background position denotes where the image is positioned on the page.

4. In-line CSS

If you don't wish to use a CSS style sheet to change the background colors you can code the CSS directly into the HTML code.

body url(images/gradient.jpg);background-repeat: no-repeat;background-position: 280px 440px;"

Sidebar: place < at the beginning of the above code and > at the end.

You can use CSS to change the color of your font, background of a single line, paragraph, images, navigation, links etc.

Whether you're designing a new website, redesigning your current one or wish to change the color of some of your design elements use CSS to quickly and easily make design changes.

Web design is an important consideration for all kinds of people, from small businesses to artists building a portfolio to large corporations. Every company needs a website, but there's more to it than that. Good quality web design is required to make even the simplest site readable and easily navigable. This is where graphic designers come in.

Depending on a client's needs, a designer can produce a simple page with minimal information (contact details, hours of operation, directions and similar important facts) or a complex multipage site made for use by many people. The type of web design involved is going to be dictated by the scope of the site required and the particular needs of the client. For a relatively small page that won't change much, traditional HTML is quite useful, but for a larger and more complicated site, a CMS, or content management system may be a good idea.

CMS based sites allow the addition, removal, or changing of content from multiple locations, and make it easy to alter a website without causing problems. This kind of web design is an excellent choice for companies which don't employ a webmaster, artists who need to update their galleries regularly, and sites that have special content (such as members only).

Content management systems offer a user the ability to do a portion of their own web design through a simple text editor - a lot like Microsoft Word or other major word processing programs. This means that people without a background in web design can still add or remove content, expanding the site as they please without the need to hire a designer for every change. For a large, dynamic website, this is the ideal solution, as well as the most cost effective one.

Systems of this kind usually also make use of a database for storing artifacts, content, and other information the system might need - usually in XML format. Then, there's a presentation layer based on a set of web design templates that actually displays the content to viewers of the website. Plug-ins and modules can be added to extend the functionality of the site, as well, and active CMS software is updated regularly to keep the website up to current standards.

However, for a small, simple page that won't change often, has only one maintainer, or doesn't include a lot of information, a CMS is overkill. The money spent on the content management system and the web design could be a lot less if a basic HTML page were used. In this example, the CMS is unnecessary and its features aren't being taken advantage of properly.

It's important for web design professionals and their customers to know which approach to use in which situation. After all, while a CMS might have all the latest features and be great for use in some circumstances, it'll be a waste of time and money on another website. Careful attention to this kind of problem is extremely important.

Anyone who's going to be involved in web design should take the time to consider which type of website is going to get the job done best. For complex sites that need to be editable by untrained staff and which change a lot, a CMS is the best bet. However, web design for a simple, static site doesn't need to be that complex. It all depends on the situation.

By learning HTML basics, you can publish content online with link anchor text and embedded images, audio or video with simple code.

If you are an affiliate marketer, having basic HTML skills will allow you to make minor to moderate changes to the code as you publish content to promote a product. Learning how to do update HTML is not very difficult at all.

HTML tags are very easy to understand because they are logical and there is much documentation available both online and offline. If you know how to use a software tool like Microsoft Word, you can learn the basics of HTML, it is really that simple.

As far as resources, you have many cheap and easy references including a wide variety of HTML tutorial websites.

It is entirely reasonable for somebody with no experience to learn enough HTML to build a web page in a single day.

Video tutorials are also helpful in learning HTML. It is very obvious that video tutorials are instrumental in helping students to learn basic HTML. A picture is worth a thousand words, but a video is worth a volume of words. With video training you will actually see what steps are required to design a HTML web page leading to website design.

Like most things in life, building a website is a process that can be learned, just as you learned to walk and talk. If you are going to eventually design a website, you will of course need a domain name and web hosting.

One thing to consider is domain name availability. You will have to visit domain registrars and use their search box to check the availability of your target domain name. It is always best that the domain name you purchase is descriptive of the actual website site that you are developing.

Next you will need to acquire a web host to publish your website online. Once you learn how to publish a website online, creating more will not only be easier but also very addictive.

So before you publish your website, a domain name and website hosting is required.

Rest assured that you can learn to write HTML code. One last tip you should consider is a web development editor. There are many available. Some are free, but the more feature packed website editors cost a small amount. You can also use Windows Notepad for writing HTML code. Using a simple text editor like Notepad is probably the best solution because some of the HTML editors add extra tags and other information that may confuse you and complicate your HTML code.

Making money online can be so fast and so simple, it's almost a magical experience. Magical that is, if you don't mind stirring up your magic with some keyword research, competition sleuthing, a little writing, content marketing, and add a little advertising voodoo.

Getting started is easy because all you need is an idea.

For example, your 13-year daughter has been acting all sensitive and weird since she became a teen. Instead of 'growing-out-of-it', she's worse with every passing day. Worried, you take her to the doctor.

After her exam, the doctor informs you she's suffering from the early stages of 'directionitis'. History suggests nature will cure her in 10 years or so.

Until then, he warns you to expect more of the same behavior from her. Plus, he cautions you, be prepared for her to eventually display episodes of highly dramatic scenes that would make Lady Gaga green with envy.

The doctor suggests you take a stiff before dinner drink, or perhaps two, if you don't already. The drinks won't help your daughter, but might do wonders for your personal sanity. After all is said and done, the doctor's advice is "you'll just have to live with it and make the best of it that you can."

Obviously, you think, the sainted doctor is clueless, or on the least, childless!

In the weeks to come you agree with the doc about one thing. It appears your daughter's new mission in life is to make you crazy enough to be a guest on the Jerry Springer TV show.

You're slowly reaching your rope's end. You need help. Your Mom laughs hysterically every time you bring up the subject. And your friends don't understand because their kids are younger.

Desperate for help, you decide to try the Internet for information about living with a child suffering from directionitis.

Wow! You quickly discover "directionitis" is an ailment common to teenagers worldwide. You're even able to find blogs and discussion forums whose members talk a lot about how their kid's directionitis is making their lives unbearable.

As humans will, there are even forum strings where parents detail their kids destructive directionitis behavior in an attempt to 'one-up' the evilness of other parent's kids.

You also find a lot of directionitis related questions and answers. Actually, you're surprised how active parents are about directionitis. And bam, there it is: "A Money-Making Idea"!

"Directionitis..!" Is going to make you rich!

Isn't this IM thing simple? You bet. Clutching your hot idea close to your chest, you head over to Google's external keyword research tool. You type in directionitis cures to see how many monthly searches Google estimates.

Bingo! You see your keyword phrase has 19 thousand monthly searches. Plus, and be still your beating heart, you see six additional keyword phrases with monthly searches above 3,500!

So far, so great...

But how much competition is there? You immediately enter the different keyword phrases, with quotation marks around them, into Google's main search page. You note that Google search shows competing pages from a high of 100 thousand to just over 50K. Still looks good.

Before you get busy buying domain names and planning your monetization strategies, you need to know if you have any hope of beating the competition's current search engine positions. Basically you're looking at the top five sites showing up in search engines for your different keyword phrases.

Back to Google. Search each phrase in quotation marks, "directionitis cures", etc, and etc...

To get page rank, and see the different site's number of back links, I use either Mozilla's 'Firefox' browser with the addon SEOBook installed. http://www.seobook.com

Or, I use Google's 'Chrome' browser with the SeoQuake software addon. http://seoquake.com/ (my personal fave)

Either browser, with the added software programs, will quickly give you the competing websites page rank (PR) and their number of back links. (Actually, you'll get a plethora of useful data about the competing sites. Great free tools for your basic research.)

At this research stage, you want to know how weak/strong the competition is. The PR and the number of back links they have. With this knowledge, you decide whether you have the skills to beat out the competition for organic search engine position.

Generally, if the competing sites have PR's of '3' or less, and reasonable number of back links, you're still working on a good idea. PR's higher than a '3' should be left for people who love a good fight. 'Reasonable back links' is indirectly dependant on specific market variables, a number will do more harm than good here.

At this point in your research, you have to find out if you can monetize your 'directionitis' niche. Which will be a simple chore, too. Your obvious monetization choices are: sell 3rd party advertising; pimp affiliate products/services, or create and sell your own product. Actually, it could very well be simple to use all of these choices.

You already know the organic search traffic is available. You can build a blog, or a website, with web pages targeting the different keyword phrases.

On the different web pages you can add 3rd party advertising codes, like Google's Adsense. You can also add links and reviews of related products/services that pay you a commission when your visitor buys through your links. (Don't stop with just Adsense. Depending on your traffic source, there are other good options rather than Adsense.)

You can get an idea of the kind of money you'll make when visitors click on your 3rd party advertising at Google's External Keyword Tool's 'show average cpc' settings. (At this writing, the link is in the 'left' sidebar.) Google's share of the cpc money isn't officially disclosed, estimated between 50 - 75%.

And, you won't get all the search engine traffic, even if you take over top spot in the SERP rankings. But, you can get an 'educated' idea of your returns.

You can find affiliate/commission products using search engines. Do searches like this: "Directionitis" + Affiliate". You can also do a keyword search at ClickBank's Marketplace to find digital affiliate products.

You could easily create an info product from the questions and answers you find on the different blogs and support websites. Don't forget to research Yahoo's answers, as well. Google Answers isn't accepting new queries now, but you can still search it's past entries data base.

You could also interview an directionitis expert and turn the interview into an audio, video, or PDF type product. Lots of free resources for this process.

While this isn't meant to be a complete tutorial, it should give you an idea, or three.

And, a good idea, is all you need to cast a spell of "Online Money-Making Magic"..!
