I am definitely on a budget and with pattern and production being my focus I would prefer to save money on this that I can do myself. I have already created my site and now need to publish it to the web but before then I am curious to the youtube vids you watch. I'll try and find it so that's for the input. I would like to use a professional and maybe I will eventually but since I am pretty tech savvy and there are so many existing sites as examples of flow etc. and I have a budget, I decided to design my own. For now.

I'm not going to go to doctor in an alley and try and get them to operate on me or try to operate on myself but so many people try and design who have no background. Just because you have dreamweaver or photoshop doesn't make you a designer. Maybe your site turned out alright but I can tell you from experience that the sites I made 3 years ago and the sites I make today are completely different levels. I have spent years improving my craft and when I hear people trying to build sites themselves it never turns out well. If you were to learn everything about web design and web usability it would take so much time it just makes sense to pay a professional to do it for you.

I agree with everything except the don't bother to learn web design advice.

as someone who had ZERO web design experience i hired an acquaintance to do my site and it turned out horrendously bad! granted i only paid him $100, but still…anyway i lost my $100 and decided to re-design it myself. armed only with adobe dreamweaver and youtube i re-did my site and honestly not to toot my own horn but its pretty kick-ass…people ask me if its professionally designed all the time and i did it myself in a few weeks (couldve done it quicker if i devoted more time).

i'd recommend that people who are on a budget do it themselves instead of paying cheap prices for someone else to do it. obviously if you can afford to shell out the big bucks to get a pro-designed site thats the best option, but if you can't just diy!

Of course Eduardo.

It takes a while to get traffic and a high page rank so if you can start now do it. There is no time to waste.

Do you think its a good move to buy a website so no one can take it later on, even though we haven’t released the products yet?
Like a way to build hype?

I’ve been looking around for articles similar to this but never found one that actually was valuable such as this. Glad I found this place!
