Web Designer? You do not need no designer 'Stinkin' Web!

RIVERSIDE, CA August 4, 2004 - "Historically, small business owners have had a limited number of options to choose from when it comes to developing a presence online," says Pat Spinelli, owner of the Web Site Tutor, a Riverside, California 1. Web site design and training company.

According to Spinelli, "Until now, small businesses in southern California have had two choices. They had to out-source the development of their websites to sign with a professional or a hosting company offering 'free' on-line models. If you have an unlimited source of funds and the need for a dynamic, interactive site, outsourcing is definitely the best. "

"Entrepreneurs who work with limited funds, however, need to consider less expensive alternatives," he says.

"Until now, the only real alternative to costly outsourcing have been on-line models," he says, "but most on-line templates have three major disadvantages. To use it you must sign up for hosting a three-year or four times the normal cost, most templates offer limited functionality, and most can not be optimized for search engines without a knowledge of HTML. "

The Web Site Tutor offers an interesting alternative. "We believe we are the first company in Southern California to offer on-site tutorials and on-going marketing assistance which can save undercapitalized business ventures not only a large amount of money, but to give them a much greater degree of control and flexibility "he says.

According to Spinelli, web design is a breeze. "We can teach those who reasonably computer literate how to design a functional website in four hours or less and at a fraction of the cost of outsourcing," he says.

Creating a functional site, however, is only the beginning of the process. According to Spinelli, "A well designed website should be optimized as it is built and that is probably the most important part of our training program."

"Too often, small business owners hire someone to design a website, get their sites marginally optimized and then registered with search engines. And the process ends there because they have been led to believe that this is all that needs to be done to build a successful online business.

"The successful sites are guided by ongoing promotional campaigns that go beyond these essential elements," he said.

"We keep our customers up the latest promotional strategies that will drive traffic to their sites, both in the short term and long term," he continues.
