Web design projects can create time management issues. It takes a great deal of time to code a site if you are not doing it all the time. There once was a time that I would do all of my site designing myself in a bid to save a few extra bucks. It usually worked out well for me, but spending hundreds of hours in front of the computer screen designing websites is not my idea of fun. I prefer to be in the trenches making sales, promoting, producing content and that sort of thing. Time is money after all, and why not spend your time doing the things that you do best? Outsourcing website design can be a massive time saver and is not all that expensive with GetAFreelancer.com and Quote Catcher.

I use Quote Catcher for times that I want a site designed from the ground up. Quote Catcher will allow different designers to bid for your site. You will get up to five quotes, you choose the one that is the best offer from your point of view. The best offer does not have to be the cheapest one. It depends on your needs, if you want a slick looking website, then it is probably wise to go with whichever site designer has the most impressive portfolio. If it does not really matter, go with the cheapest.

When I have smaller or more technical jobs, I use GetAFreelancer.com. With GetAFreelancer.com you give a specific outline of the job that you require and freelance programmers will offer you bids. It is important to distinguish GetAFreelancer from Quote Catcher. The freelancers on GetAFreelancer.com are programmers, you use them for programming related jobs. If you need a shopping cart system, or would like to make some sort of site related improvement, this is the place to go.

If you are not using analytics to enhance your site then you need to take a long hard think about it. All the website improvements in the world will not help you if they are not being seen. Websites are increasingly bloated and it is entirely possible that there are places on your site that are completely overlooked on a month to month basis. HitsLink will tell you exactly what is going on within your site and allow you to tweak your website accordingly.

You can follow your visitors throughout your website and see which pages they visited. You will know the most visited parts of your site and can focus your efforts on improving those areas so that they can achieve even greater success.

If you find some parts of your site are being neglected, it might not be through lack of content, rather it could be through lack of connectivity. If you want to encourage your visitors to drop in on less visited pages in your site, you can always create links to them on your more popular pages.

HitsLink gives you the facts and figures that you need to apply sound business intelligence principals to your website. If you are looking for other great Website Improvements and website analysis tools, please contact us at Brick Marketing.
