I'm an SEO by trade. Search engine optimization is a goofy profession that sprung up as a set of techniques designed to make your site appear more prominently in search engines. SEO has been going on for 10 years or so, I have been practicing SEO since 2001. In the working world SEOs have to interact with business owners, programmers, web designers and marketing departments. That sounds more terrible than it is :) but nonetheless, the SEO often finds themselves in the position where they must dictate to other nore established professions. This is sometimes a problem, because there is a high business case for SEO but a much smaller awareness of their existence, their techniques and their credibility.
I'm pretty strongly motivated to develop my own sites, because that way I can reduce my need to balance my expertise against the equally valid interests of all these other professionals. The part that has always tripped me up is web design. It takes me a long time, I have to cobble lots of stuff together and look at lots of source code. Wordpress was a real godsend for me when I discovered it, but lately my content strategy has called for a lot of smaller handwritten sites, and wordpress is too resource heavy to make dozens of one-page sites economically.
Enter Weebly
With Weebly I have the ability to quickly make websites with targeted content, like my first creation, a wholesale web site made entirely with Weebly.
I made those two pages in an evening and I'm very pleased with the results especially for my first attempt! I was able to insert a monetized XML feed (not too many of those out there unfortunately), I was able to insert eBay's fantastic new Ebay to Go ads (which I really love). I'm currently working on a poster site that I'm excited about and also this blog. With weebly, I can focus more attention on the quick production of quality content.
I'm going to develop my sites, and tell you about them and tell you about the techniues I use. Does that sound intereting? Let me know in the comments!
