Web Page Design and Development

A Beginners Guide

Hello and thank you for visiting Web-Source.net.

My name is Shelley Lowery and I am the owner and developer of Web-Source.net.

If you want to learn how to make your own web pages on the Internet, but have no idea where to start, this article will provide you with the exact information you'll need to get started, including what you can expect to pay to get your website up and running. However, before I begin, I'd like to tell you a little bit about myself, and how I got started, so you'll know who you're dealing with.

When I started online back in 1997, I was completely overwhelmed with the Internet and had absolutely no idea where to start. I knew that I desperately wanted my own Internet business, which would require me to build my own web site, but I was very low on cash and there wasn't much information available to assist me at that time. For this reason, I knew I would have to do everything myself, which included learning how to design my own website.

I spent countless hours online researching and learning everything I could about the Internet and business website design. I went to web sites that I admired and looked at the source code (HTML code that is used to create a web page) so that I could see exactly how that site was made.

The first time I looked at all that HTML code I was completely overwhelmed. I began to feel a bit discouraged thinking maybe I was trying to take on a bit more than I could handle. However, when I began to really look closely at the coding, I began to see how things worked. It really wasn't as difficult as I thought. And the more I looked at the code and began testing different things, the more confident I became. I realized that web page design really wasn't hard at all! At that time, I knew I could learn how to make my own website.

Is Search Engine Optimization Dead?

By Ken Evoy, CEO SiteSell Copyright © 2007

I Hate To Say, "I Told You So," But... Ken's Blog Way back in Oct, 2005, I shared The Tao of CTPM with the LED Digest mailing list, a list that I subscribe to and still enjoy.  I elaborated in that post about why I thought Search Engine Optimization (SEO) was doomed. Sure enough, Google has become a whole lot smarter, which means much less manipulatable.  All the predictions are happening and will continue to intensify.

A trickle of support has grown into a torrent of consensus that SEO is indeed on its last legs.   The term "SEO" is being redefined away from "the almighty algorithm" and SEOers are either... " understanding the sea change that is indeed happening (recent example " sticking to their SEO guns (their days are numbered) " pretending that they always knew "content was king" all along (of the prominent ones, only Jill Whalen can truly claim that position, but I have seen several detractors changing their message to "content is king") " redefining themselves as "SEM" ("Search Engine Marketing").

This update has seen many webmasters being flooded with warning messages like "unnatural links had been detected" along with the sudden downfall in the site's ranking. This is due to the identification of the websites which have been taking place in link building services to get improved Page Ranking. Now, the question which is bothering the webmasters and SEO consulting services is how this update can affect SEO.

Google Penguin will penalize the inferior quality websites from listing at the top of the search engines. It goes without saying that there are websites which have initiated to compete and attain desired goals against the websites that have used wrong SEO tactics to manipulate the search engine bots.
