Filipino Authored Web Design Book

"Secrets of Designing Web Sites," by Joel Mangilit, published by Rex Book Store. A step-by-step guide to help you build a Web site.

It is a non-technical, easy to read book that has been used in the MBA program of De La Salle University.

"I've been searching for reference materials and not all books at the bookstore is as useful. So far, your book is the second one I find useful, aside from my reference book (peachpit-HTML4)." - Allan Ryan J. Timtiman

Some of my Websites

RC Cars - This website about rc cars has gotten over 10 million page visits. Full of tips, photos, and links to buying rc cars.

RC Boat Shop - This website ranks #1 in Google in Oct 2009 for popular terms such as "rc boats", "radio control boats" and "remote control boat".

RC Trucks - Since the rc cars was getting too big, I spun of the section about rc trucks into it's own separate website.

Health, Fitness & Beauty - My wife's website. She used to be a writer for a newspaper, and what a better way to get articles read than on a website.

KikayGurl.com - This is the personal website/blog of my wife. Just a lot of unique articles she writes out of her own interest.

New Content

Blogs are the newest way to market. Blogs are popularly read by journalist seeking new info and articles. Below are some of my blogs:

RC Cars - About the hobby of remote control rc cars and trucks.

Health, Fitness & Beauty - Guide to skin care products, wrinkle reducers, and more.

RC Helicopters - Guide to choosing and buying radio controlled rc helicopters.

How To Put Up a Web Site

Web Site Design

First step is to build a Web site. You can either learn how-to do it yourself, or hire a Web designer (who understands your business and selling) to do it for you.

I suggest you learn how-to do it yourself because no one else knows your business better than you. Hiring a Web designer who does not understand how-to grow your business is a waste of your time... and money.

Web Hosting and Domain Name

Your Web pages must be physically stored on a Web server in order to be seen on the Internet. That is a service provided by Web hosting companies.

Domain names are what we type into a Web browser to go to a specific Web site. For example, the domain name of this Web site is www.webphil.com.

I strongly recommend you register a domain name and get Web hosting from the same company. This causes less headaches and problems.

Personally, I use only one company for all 12 Web sites I manage (8 personal, 4 corporate). The reason why I have been using this company for the past 3 years is that I have not had any problems with them. They offer fast servers and connections, high availability, online technical support, and Web log analytics.

If you are looking for a Web host and domain name, try the company that I am personally using to conduct my online businesses. Read more at Web Hosting and Domain Names.

Driving Traffic to Your Web Site

Success depends on driving a lot of targeted visitors to your Web site. There are two basic strategies to follow.

1. You Pay for the Traffic - This strategy is the most effective and fastest way to drive traffic to your Web site. One cost-effective way of doing this is via Pay Per Click Search Engines.

2. Try "Free" Traffic Methods - There are many ways to generate traffic to your Web site, for free. Free in the sense that there is no capital involved, but these methods require your time.

If you are a busy, I suggest paying for the traffic. However, if you have a limited budget, and have time to spare, then the "free" traffic methods may be well worth your time.

Note, however, that the free traffic methods is a slow way of generating traffic. Expect to wait for months before seeing any significant traffic to your site.

But do not be discouraged... it is possible to generate 30,000 unique visitors per month to your Web site by using the free traffic methods. Learn by reading how-to generate free traffic. This article shows you how I started with 300 unique visitors per month to 30,000 unique, targeted visitors per month today. And this growth was achieved in just 7 months online.

Wishing you and your business continued success.
