Building a Business Website in Wordpress

rgenerator — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:29:37 GMT

After spending a year and a half designing the website for my wife’s small business, I decided to delete the whole thing.

During those 18 months, I learned quite a bit about website design,
search engine optimization and lead conversion. Enough to confidently
delete the website and start over with WordPress.

I had originally built the site with WebsiteTonight from Godaddy and
although I was very pleased with how the site looked, there were too
many advantages to converting it:

I was able to have the blog and website all on one domain
Wordpress is the best blogging software
The code for Wordpress and frugalTheme is clean, fast and search engine friendly
The on-page search engine optimization is built in
I was able to install plugins to improve search rankings, such as All in one SEO Pack, Google XML sitemaps, Google Analytics for Wordpress, and Yet another Related Posts
It is easy to add new content
Creation of categories and tags to improve search engine rankings
Installed good-looking web 2.0 contact form for lead conversion
Ability to interact, leave comments and subscribe to the site

The biggest obstacle is that you do not want your commercial business web
because it is easily customizable and has a minimalist design. I was
able to create a static homepage and have the actual blog as the 4th
page in. The layout is very simple including a basic description,
contact form and testimonials.

Inventing a product - where to start?

wheelboy — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 21:17:21 GMT

I'm inventing a new medical device. I have data to demonstrate the need for this product and a rough idea of who the market would be. I have rough sketches but will need an industrial designer to make drawings. I don't have a formal business plan drawn up, nor estimated start-up costs.

How do I estimate cost when I don't know how/where the product will be manufactured?

I have no capital, therefore cannot afford a designer or patent attorney at this time. I also have a lot of medical school debt and don't want to get a small business loan to get started. I would need to partner with a designer who would go in for a percentage of proceeds from the business.

Is this possible? How do I get started?
