Making a great web site is much more than just coding HTML. You need to be successful at presenting your ideas in an interesting manner, whatever your topic may be. Ignorance may be bliss for the one who writes the web site, but that's rarely the case for the one who visits it. If your site looks unprofessional, so will your reputation. You may need to hire a professional web designer like FastDesign to make your site looks appealing to your readers. You should also think about implementing on-page search engine optimization best practices. Applying SEO best practices will help search engines better identify website and index it properly, as well as help it with overall ranking.
