Christian Sites - Three Things to Avoid When Building a Christian website

With so many Christians, and so-called Christian sites out there, the coveted first page position, as with any web site, will have to incorporate some different strategies for success, ie, targeted SEO (search engine optimization), and relevant content backlinks reciprocal , etc. This is all academic if from a professional point of view. However, apart from this, the following three tips will help you in any current project or future Christian website. Finding reliable software development and web hosting sites online can be confusing and unnecessarily expensive. So, consider this advice in finding the professionals:

1. Beware of scams. There are many website design companies out there that will allow you to develop a website and provide hosting for a fee. Usually for about $ 1,000 a couple of dollars you can use one of their pre-made site templates which, although it may seem modern and professional, will be very limited flexibility in customization and design changes and / or SEO customization. Moreover, in addition to the fee model, a hosting fee of about $ 30 dollars a month, not counting all the extras such as more storage space, special programs, such as a calendar, or upload photos and video capability will be charged.

In this way your site will have a complete custom flexibility for growth and design changes or additions, and virtually unlimited storage capacity. And all this should be available for about $ 10.00 per month never more than $ 20.00 or so dollars a month with all the storage space, bells and whistles, or options available, once the site has been created. Do it yourself and learn is the best solution. And 'the choice I made and I am glad I did. It has saved me thousands of dollars in construction costs and save hundreds per month in hosting fees.
