Minisite design: do you know what that means? Or maybe you have heard other people talk about minisite design? Well, minisite design is basically just a simple and static HTML design for your product sales letter or squeeze page.Typically the only people who know about minisite design is Internet marketers. People outside the world of Internet marketing most likely do not know what it means. If you don’t believe me, I challenge you to ask your friends about minisite design and I can bet that they don’t know anything about it.
Sometimes people argue that you don’t need a good-looking minisite design in order to sell your product or service. They will say that you can simply use a standard HTML without any design at all. However, if you think deeply, do you really believe that website visitors will trust you when you are selling your product or service on an ugly web page? I’m sure that you will doubt the website owner and not buy his product or service.
The same thing goes for squeeze page with an ultimate footer ad. Having a professionally designed, nice looking squeeze page will increase your credibility, thereby increasing your opt-in rate. For this single reason alone, you ought to really get a minisite design done by a professional. It’s really a pity if you say to yourself “I want to have an internet business” when your minisite design is really bad.
Now, you may think that you want to design a minisite by yourself. Well, the answer is NO you really don’t want to do it yourself. If you don’t know anything about graphics, I highly recommend you to NOT do it on your own. There are 3 reasons for this. First, your design is most likely very bad. Second, you’d spend countless hours trying to design your minisite and your final design will still be very poor. Your time would better be spent on things that you are good at. Third, if you don’t do it yourself but instead hire a professional designer to do the minisite design, you will save both time and money and the design will be much, much better than yours.
