Web Site Creators?

Question

Hello!  I need to create a website for my potential buyers and sellers to access.  Do you guys have any suggestions on some creators?  wix looks pretty good, but I don't see any templates where a visitor can put their name, email address, phone number, message, etc.  Anybody else have any experience with this?  What do you use?

Brian Stone,

A popular and highly regarded option is Wordpress. The number of templates seems endless. Best of all, they use HTML5 language.

Avoid Adobe Flash and videos. Keep images to a minimum. Search engines rank fast loading index pages higher. Moreover, some operating systems, such as Apple products, do not accept Flash.

Color is also considered important.

Before you build, read the numerous articles on Google.com about the ways to design a website to be search engine friendly. Key words, key word phrases, and the placement of the key words and phrases are extremely important to the search result placement.

The company I use to host my websites also offers free submission to the large number of search engines out there. They do this on a monthly basis. I have never paid for search engine optimization (SEO). This is a fairly common feature offered by most hosting companies. It is not automatically done. Many require you to request the free service.

I have been designing websites for 20 years.

Wow your website looks great.  Hard not to use the same layout as you!  I'm still looking around at all the templates.  Wondering what to do...so many options.

Thanks again Brandon!
