Wow nice man, off to a good start

Didn't you already have that first editor hotdog-something? Or did that come later I can't remember much anymore

Edit: sorry guess this is pretty off topic.

hardly call dreamweaver or frontpage ( WYSIWYG software ) in the box , it was a tool but dam it was steep learning curve
and flash was not software to design a website

started on dreamweaver

not exactly, seo is not marketing.
its optimizing ur website so that he gets maximum traffic.

just having an idea ( ur idea, i gurantine you is nOT unique) it must be seen by the maximum number and hopefully, if ur site is optimized, those unique visitors and se engine crawls ( which will get you higher ranking) will convert to sales, commissions, views, bookings, etc etc.

It will only convert if you have a good product, that is number one. Depending on what your product is you might focus on SEO or other means of gaining traffic. That is part of your markering strategy. Some may focus very hard on SEO, others might find social media is where they find their audience and so on.

But if you want to suggest a website maybe tell us a little bit about why you choose to follow them and what you gained from it? Many forums would just delete a thread like this cause it has no content just a link.

Shit SEO.

Unless we start talking about SEO, then we might fool these robots to think that the OPs link was important to the topic....

I agree totally, almost. A top salesman can sell almost anything, but not online, so it would take some shoe leather, and phone calls, as well. And perseverance. Particularly with a vanilla product/service and/or in a competitive space. There are quite a lot of products that have since been removed from shelves, after the founder, designer or ideasman had made some healthy investment capital, to take into his/her next venture. A good product is number 1, IMO too, but I wouldn't say it "...will only convert..." The rest... I'm glad you said it.

.....A good product is number 1, IMO too

whose to say what is a good product nowadays?

if its out there on the web & or in real life, someone is interested in buying it, reselling it, using it, reading it, watching it,.....etc etc

FYI
sex is always #1

I actually recommend against CMS these days. Wordpress *can* be okay but you shouldn't put money in it imho. Too many security holes introduced by themes, plugins, etc. If you can do the website in wordpress without plugins, then it is very secure. Each plugin increases the risk of being hacked, each year, per plugin, by about 10%. Drupal is in a horrid state these days, there is a civil war going on regarding package management. Node.js is unstable, but has some great backing. I don't like any of the javascript based sloppy things like angular.js. All of my web based product development (and a lot of my phone development) is done in Django (python). What I was doing back in 99 ... well I was doing network administration and security. In 98 I did some programming for pay, in 2001 I did a lot more programming for pay. In 2000 I was in the dotcom bubble in Silicon Valley writing "whatisthiswebsitefor.com" on whiteboards and getting laughter as a response.

SEO is all about content, links and avoiding branding mistakes. Remember that each word has a "cost" and trying to take over certain keywords ("news") vs others ("bajga") have dramatically different costs. The scales used in link counts and authority are all logarithmic, base 14 scale last I checked. Remember to avoid penalties and grab some reputable partners. SEO, simply put, is the ability for machines to find and read your website. It could look gorgeous, but if you can't tell what the website is supposed to do by looking at the source html, machines will fail to rank your content too.(This is where angular.js and similar platforms completely fail!)

Most good retail products are niche for sure. A good store is invaluable, just cram stuff in it then spend weeks polishing.

My experiences with 20 years of outsourcing failures have convinced me it is impossible to work with outsourced development that has any sort of churn and burn. I have developers in other countries, but I "own" the developer and we grow together. This isn't a temporary business relationship, but a personal one. I'm tempted to create a larger development team in Cambodia. Right now I'm in Seoul and my ability to travel to Japan appears stymied by omicron. (The country is closed and will go partially bankrupt before reopening.) I recommend against India if you do outsource, because of a cultural issue involving princes. The prince will walk into a room, make some insane sort of announcement, walk out of the room. He expects "something" to be done, and it is up to the people in that room to figure out how to re-interpret what was said into something possible, build it, show it to him, let him take all the credit for their idea.This is completely different culturally than the US/UK style where people are expected to follow instructions. If you want to fund the development of Indian teams inventing stuff and seeing what pops out, ask them to build anything - you'll get something different.
