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

Because of that you would be better off if you find freelance designers who works from home. They are often working from home so they do not have a high operation cost like that of a company. On the other hand, they will be able to design images with quality similar to those of designers from big companies,  so it’s a “no-brainier” choice.

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 that you will get the best deal.  Obviously, you will be able to choose the designers based on their experience, past transactions and ratings, so your value for money is secured.

Another route you can take is to design your website yourself. You know,  you only need 5 simple pages to present some simple information, why waste hundreds of dollars for it? Just spend a little time to sit down and do it yourself. You’ll be able to design your own sites even if you do not know a single line of HTML code with the help of WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) programs such as Microsoft Frontpage, Macromedia  Dreamweaver and so on.

What i think is the best way to have a cheap website and learn how to do it yourself, is to invest in the Google Sniper course, it is one of the best ways in my opinion anyway, to learn about the wordpress website platform, and how to set up a site for ultimate exposure to Google, and ultimately get your website into the first page of Google for the keyword term you choose.  Maybe you think that it is to expensive, and want to learn about best website building for free first, then i have another suggestion for you, there is a lady who is a internet marketing wizard who have a lot of videos on youtube,  and >>here<< are the link to her videos, very comprehensive and you can learn a lot about setting up a website.
