I Am Not a Web Designer and I Don't Need to Be

I am not a web designer. I wish I were. I have many web sites that I would like to get online but when I attempt to get them ready for publishing on my own, they fall pretty short of my goals of having a professional looking web site.

I have tried hiring freelance web designers in the past with mixed results. Sure, they did a better job than I did and for the most part the sites that I had them do look somewhat decent. But at a cost of $200 per web site (I have over 350 websites) you could see that my budget would be blown pretty quickly.

I then tried some of the templates that you see advertised. They looked okay but then I started noticing other sites that were using the exact same templates (anyone that uses these templates are going to naturally pick the best looking ones, just like I did).

So what I really needed was a way to generate templates that looked great, didn't cost a lot of money and that could be applied to all my sites. This objective was seemingly difficult until I stumbled upon a software package that blew me away. It has so many features that gave me the ability to satisfy my objectives. I was psyched!

I downloaded the evaluation version of this software package and started playing around with the features. There is a home edition and a standard edition. The standard edition has many more features but comes in around $130. But considering I was shelling out $200 per web site, this was an incredible bargain for me. If you are really hung up on the cost though, the home version just may suit your needs. That will only set you back a little under $50.

If there are any drawbacks to the program it's that all sales are final. They don't allow returns (except of course for defective software). But this shouldn't deter you from at least trying the evaluation version. I don't think it will be a problem when you see all that this can do for you. I whipped out my credit card just after two minutes of using this package. There are restrictions with the evaluation version that make it impossible to use it for any kind of production work. But it will let you see just how powerful the software is.

James uses Artisteer for all of his designs. Become a rock star web designer yourself with this great software.
