Last month my baseball coach asked the team if any of us new how to make websites. He wanted to build a site to show off the teams statistics. Our coach Larry thought that our site should have full animation so that it could impress site visitors. Even though I can easily create websites, I didn’t want to tell him since I knew it would lead to me doing free labor. My buddy ended up telling the coach that I know how to make websites before I got the chance to tell him to keep quiet. Of course I couldn’t lie and say that I couldn’t, so I ended up being stuck with the task.

Knowing that the coach didn’t have a large budget to work for, I decided to try and find a free web host and some discounted seo services. I’d use local Minneapolis seo services to keep seo costs down. I found some great blogging platforms, and built a site using Blogger. After showing the site to coach Larry I was kind of embarrassed. Although the coach said he thought it was good, I knew he was lying. I quickly let him know that this was just a temporary website and that the real thing would be built before the end of the month.

I went back to the drawing board to think about what kind of platform I could use to make a great site. After searching around the Internet I decided that the best way for me to make a great web site would be for me to use flash. Using this platform I could put in some fully animated graphics. In addition to this I could place in some video highlights of the team. I figured the guys would really love to see some highlight clips of the team on the Internet.

A thorough search of the Internet brought me to a place where I could get a free flash website. It only took me a few minutes to sign up and take a look at all of the functions of the site. This site was just what I needed. Although I ended up devoting an additional two weeks to the site I am very happy with the new look. I showed the coach and when he said it was great, this time I knew he truly meant it. After this we decided to use surgeseo.com to get the site listed. Coach Larry contacted a local seo company to get us search engine rankings.

The rest of the team loved the site as well and Jack’s dad even asked me to make a site for him. He said he’d pay me, but I think i’ll do it just for the fun of it.
