They say you need a website these days to be taken seriously on the internet. There is no doubt a professional looking website establishes your credibility online for your home based business ideas website. But how can you get that done if you don't know anything about web design? There are plenty of alternatives and choices that will help you with a good looking website design.
It can cost you hundreds of dollars to have a custom built website designed by a professional designer these days. Depending on your needs, that may be the only choice you have. However, if you don't need all the bells and whistles, you have choices you can make that will give you a website design you can be proud of for your home based business ideas website. Here is a guide to making that choice:
First, look for local designers in your area by opening you phone book, doing a google search or reading your newspapaper. I found someone in my area that specialized in website design to design my blog. Make sure you shop around. Don't pay $500 for a website design from a large company. Try to find a local person that runs their business out of their home office. The won't have the overhead expenses that larger design companies would have, and would be more flexible to work with.
Choose freelancers for your home based business ideas website carefully by going to elance.com. You'll be able to post an outline of your project, and thousands of freelancers will have the opportunity to bid on it. That way, you should be able to get a great deal. You will also have the ability to chose that designer based on ratings, past projects, and experience which will give you your best bang for your buck when it's all said and done.
Be sure to check out GoDaddy.com. They offer a website design service you can do yourself called Website Tonight. You can chose from a simple template of 5 pages, all the way up to a template of 999 pages, hosted with GoDaddy.com. You would also be able to chose your domain name with them too. It's a 'one stop shopping' site for everything you would need.
You can also design your own home based business ideas website. It doesn't take much to learn the basics of website design. If all you need is 5 simple pages, go to the library or search online for the basics of designing a website. Look for programs like Microsoft Frontpage, or Macromedia Dreamweaver to help you out. Soon, you might have a side business to help others with a good website design.

How To Live Simply
DISCOVER THE HEALTHY BENEFITS OF DARK CHOCOLATE BY XOCAI
Confucius once said, "Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated."
If we make life complicated and fill it up with a bunch "stuff," how can we ever focus on what matters most?
Many of us are running around trying to squeeze everything we can out of life when, in fact, we'd be a whole lot happier and healthier if we savored the beauty of simplicity!
Here are some tips you can use today to simplify your life:
1. Clutter. When you eliminate the clutter around you, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the things are dearest to you.
* Ask yourself: When was the last time I read the stack of books piled up on the floor? When did I last notice the details on one of those little trinkets I got while on vacation? When did I last wear the scarf lying on the closet floor? Give this stuff to someone who needs it!
* De-cluttering will give you an opportunity to enjoy the things that truly matter to you. Plus you'll feel a sense of relief with an organized working and living space.
2. Food. Food is another aspect of your life that can be simplified in many ways. Instead of worrying about the next bite, enjoy the taste of the food that's already in your mouth. Savor it. Let it all sink in and try to taste each flavor.
* Also, consider the ingredients in your food. Take the time to use quality ingredients instead of processed or chemically enhanced foods. The end result will taste better, and your body and mind will thank you for the nourishment!
3. Gadgets. Think of all the gizmos and gadgets in your life. Do you use them all? Do you even use half of them?
* The more stuff we have to "connect" us, the more we become disconnected! Take the headphones out of your ears, turn off the car radio, and put down your cell phone. Instead of trying to be always connected, communicate with those around you. Nothing is more satisfying than a rewarding conversation or a family fun night!
4. Thinking. A cluttered mind steers you away from what's most important. The reality is that simple ideas are almost always better. By simplifying your thinking, you open your mind to new possibilities.
* A simplified mind doesn't mean you aren't thinking, it just means that you're choosing to focus on one thing with greater clarity.
* When your attention is split in several directions, it's awfully hard to make rational decisions. And if you're dwelling in the past or worrying about the future, how can you live in the moment? Release distractions from your mind and you'll not only feel better, but you'll regain a sense of peace within you.
5. Schedule. If you're trying to jam a week into a single day, you'll feel a tension that will tug you away from where you're meant to be. Instead of wondering what's next, savor the here and now.
* Eliminate some of the clutter in your hectic schedule and do what's best for you and your family, not everyone else.
Living life simply is extremely rewarding. When you do so, you eliminate many of the useless cares and are able to focus on what's really important to you. Give it a try!
