The main ingredient in the "web
building" recipe?
TIME
Creating a website is not that difficult
these days thanks the large numbers of programs, books, help sites and the like.
I believe it's much easer then studying
and passing the real estate exam. Believe
me though, when I tell you that it will take about the same amount of time
to build a GOOD web as it took you to take the school and pass the real
estate. It will take many hours of study,
seeking out the help you need, writing the copy for the site,
searching the net for resources to add content to your site and
marketing your site on the net. When
the site is done, there's
the time spent each week maintaining the site (I suggest at least 3 hours a
week minimum if you want an effective site). About the
only thing that won't take you a lot of time is finding the graphics
for the site. Become a subscriber to this site and you'll have
immediate access to over 1150 original real estate graphics!
(sorry, had to put in that plug for support). If you don't have time to
build and maintain a website,
you might want to consider
hiring someone to create it and learn, instead, how to enhance it - load
your own listings, change the text and graphics from time to time, add
hypertext links to your favorite sites, etc....
That will take a lot less time to learn, then starting your own site from
scratch. It will also be a much more expensive way to go. I
try to offer some tips to get you started in the following
pages, and be warned, it will take
TIME to read all of these pages. This is not a "school" and won't teach you all you need to
know about web design. It's a guide to get you started in, hopefully, the
right directions. Just visit the links below and keeping telling
yourself..this is fun..this is fun...this is fun...
