Site Build It
You want a web site. You don’t want to risk paying a
designer and get something like a spinning, flaming logo.
And you’re not exactly geeky when it comes to things
technological. If so, Site Build-it is a must-have. And here’s
why. It DOES EVERYTHING. Helps you brainstorm ideas, builds
the site, you even get SEO submissions and hosting for an
ENTIRE year.
What’s the catch? No catch, just a nit or two. Sometimes
the site you need to access can be a bit slow. And you do
have a lot of material to review and absorb. Yet for anyone
that wants a site and doesn’t want to spend more than
a few hundred dollars, this is the way to go. |

Sales Ratio Booster
This is one of my most favorite products. It takes a simple,
time-honored direct marketing concept and brings it to life
on the web. Sales Ratio Booster allows you to customize a
web page with a person’s name—in the headline, subhead,
and body text.
It’s a simple CGI script you install and off you go.
We’ve used this product for great success. Here are a
few samples we prepared for the University of Dallas’
Admissions office. This online letters were seen by prospective
students across the country. |

1 shopping Cart
We must have looked at two-dozen different shopping carts
before we chose this one. As Internet marketers, we liked
that 1 Shopping Cart had such a robust assortment of features.
You get the usual shopping cart stuff and some extra goodies:
• Autoresponders
• Affiliate tracking program
• Ability to upgrade customers to other higher selling
packages in the order process |

Third Sphere Hosting
We’ve suffered some real horror stories with web hosting
companies in the past. As internet marketers and web developers,
that’s a death sentence. Fortunately, we discovered Third
Sphere Hosting. This is not the cheapest host. But if you’re
serious about a web site, you don’t want a cheap host.
Go for a reliable, value like Third Sphere. |

Template Monster
Why reinvent the wheel if you don’t have to? Web site
design templates have come a long way. We’ve investigated
and tried several. As web developers, we turn a critical eye
to templates and can pick them apart, design-wise. We’ve
found Template Monster offers the most professional designs
we’ve seen on the web. For under $100 in most cases,
you can’t beat it.
Note: keep in mind these templates are Photoshop graphic files.
That means you’ll still need someone to turn these templates
into html tables. |
