To create your own website can be fun and inspiring . Normally, in most cases when you have professional designers custom build your site, you must be prepared to dish out at least a few hundred dollars. But this can be alter if you know where to find the best deals, the best designs for the lowest cost. Here's a rough guide:

Therefore, it would be wise to find freelance designers who work from home. These people are often working from home so they don't have a high operation cost like that of a company. On the other hand, they are going to be able to design images with quality similar to those of designers from huge companies, so it is a no-brainer choice.

First, you must understand that it is a rip off to get companies to design sites for you. Have you ever seen those adverts in newspaper classified advertisement sections that offer a 5-page net site at $500? These companies are established companies with physical locations, therefore they must increase the amount they charge to pay off some overheads: office rent, designer's wages, marketing costs and so on.

Another route you can take is to design your net site yourself. Give it some thought, in case you only need five simple pages to present some simple information, why waste hundreds of dollars for it? Spend some time at your computer and do it yourself. You'll be able to design your own site even if you have no idea what HTML codes are. With the help of WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) programs such as Microsoft Frontpage, Macromedia Dreamweaver and so on.

However, choose freelancers with care. The best way to do this would be to go to elance.com. There, you can post the abstract of your project and get thousands of freelancers to bid on your project, so you will certainly get the best deal. On top of that, it is possible for you to to choose the designers based on their experience, past transactions and ratings, so your value for money is secured.
