Sometimes the prospective buyer has a very definite idea of the type of website wanted. But, often the website buyer is a first time buyer and is still in the formative or exploratory phase of the search. Many first time buyers wonder what kind of website is best for them to purchase. That's a tough question to answer without some idea of the buyer's resources, skills and needs. To determine the best website for you it will necessary for you to ask yourself a series of questions: "How many days per week do I want to work?", "Do I want to have employees?", "How much am I comfortable spending on a website?" and many other questions. Open and honest answers will allow you to quickly narrow your search and save you much time and aggravation. Our web site buyer registration offers a questionnaire that is a great way to narrow your search. It will help you find the website of your dreams.
