Hi
In this post I’m going to talk to you about website builders and what I recommend is the best option for you whether you are a newbie or an experienced affiliate marketer.
When choosing a website builder software, you need to consider your current situation.
1. Are you building a landing page?
2. Are you building a content portal?
3. Are you building mini sites?
Those are 3 scenarios that you might find yourself in at any given time in your affiliate marketing career.
In any of these 3 scenarios, I find myself using one or a combination of the following software:
- Wordpress
- Adobe Photoshop
- Dreamweaver
- XSitePro / Netobject
Now let’s explore your the options for each of these 3 scenarios…
Building a landing page:
If you are planning on having a highly graphical landing page that mostly consists of images, then your best bet would be to use Adobe Photoshop to design and slice the landing page and then to use Dreamweaver to make any edits (if needed).

I usually get a designer to make me striking graphical landing pages which I use for PPC and other paid traffic sources.
If you are planning on creating a simple non-graphical landing page, then you won’t need Photoshop. You can get away with simply using Dreamweaver.
My personal favorite non-graphical landing page creator is WORDPRESS!
That’s right. With Wordpress I simply activate my AffiliateTheme and I instantly have an awesome looking page that can be used as a review landing page.
Building a content portal:
In the old days - 2000 - I was used to using Dreamweaver to build my “big” websites. Back then I didn’t even know about Wordpress. Can you imagine building and updating a 500 page website with desktop software? It’s a damn nightmare! Not to mention incredible suffering you can experience if your PC crashes. Yes…it happened to me and I quickly found myself gulping down some Jameson.
Wordpress is definitely my #1 choice here. Nothing can come close to the sheer simplicity and user friendliness of Wordpress when it comes to creating huge content portals. If you are planning on creating an authority site, then do yourself a favor….use the best possible solution.
Building a mini site
This is an interesting one. I love mini sites because I can focus on a specific product or niche keyword, build a mini site around it within a few hours and then SEO the hell out of it.
Up until recently I have used XSitePro or Netobjects Fusion for my minisites. Both software have a great ability to build mini sites with a solid framework. While XSitePro is much user friendlier and have cool addons like SEO Analysis of your pages, Netobjects boasts with the ability to build a better hierarchy of your mini site.
As of lately I have moved over to Wordpress. While both XSitePro and Netobjects Fusion served me fantastically, Wordpress have an endless amount of addons, but most importantly…far easier to get indexed due to having it’s own updating RSS feed. Also, it’s far quicker getting a site up and running when working with Wordpress.
There you have it.
