A few days ago, as I was browsing the internet for some travel information I ran into a few websites along the way that made me gasp in complete horror. Why you may ask? These particular websites I ran across were UGLY! – I mean HIDEOUS to the human eye!
My memory quickly took a turn for the worst, taking me to the year 1999, then the year 2000, then forward to the year 2001 and so on and so forth. 1999-2002 was the decade where ugly websites reigned. – After all, platforms such as WordPress, Blogger, Typepad, Weebly etc. didn’t exist to provide web presence services to the extent that they do now.

I’m a firm believer that you do not need to spend tens of thousands of dollars to set successfully setup a website. Anybody who tells you that you need to shell out thousands to get a successful blog or website it likely lying through their teeth and selling you services you don’t need. You are better off saving your money.

These reviews can help you choose your final look by showcasing and reviewing themes you may be interested in based on your needs.
Its possible to setup an attractive and functional website or blog that is also search engine friendly without spending a ton of money. There are free WordPress theme options as well as paid options available to suit your needs.
So whether you’re a blogger blogging for your own personal enjoyment, a professional setting up your online presence, or a business establishing interaction through social media, there are no excuses for having an ugly website, not with all the options you have at at your disposal!
