Once again it is MyfitGeek – Tim Goodwin again! I am going to let you in on a secret today. One that many people do not know about me and my geek abilities. It is important for me to share this with you, as I know it will empower you to start taking action on your web editing and taking back control from the “web-guy”.
Everyone’s first website is complete and utter rubbish!
That includes me!
At the time of building it I wanted it to be perfect and spent hours and hours coding and checking and sorting the graphics and pictures etc. I had a banner up on the front page of the site
“Website under construction”
Someone then saw my site, and said something that changed my perception of web development for ever.
“ALL websites are ALWAYS under construction”
What he was trying to say to me was, get the site up and working for you as soon as possible even if it looks really messy. If you wait until it is perfect before launching then it will never go live!
You can see this even today in some of the sites I have built, I get an idea, create a really basic site, with the copy I want on it and put it live. No fancy graphics, no images… just the raw site.
This has the effect of getting you moving more quickly to get the site looking much better, hiring a graphic designer and/or developer to tidy things up for you.
So the take away point here is take action, get a really messy site built and then work towards perfection as you go along.
Drop me a note on twitter or on the Personal Trainer Success NING site to tell me your messy site is up.
Regards
Tim
PS. You know I must have wasted hours, if not days trying to get my site perfect, when all along it was always going to be a big pile of C-RAP. Hopefully this has inspired you to take some action and get it up.
