Minisite design: do you know what that means? Or have you ever heard of the term minisite design? Well, minisite design is basically just a simple and static HTML design for your product sales letter or squeeze page. Usually minisite design is a term that only Internet marketers know. If you’re not an Internet marketer, chances are that you don’t know what it means. If you don’t believe me, I challenge you to ask your friends about minisite design and I can bet that they don’t know anything about it.

You might argue that you can write a sales letter for your product and slap up some kind of plain HTML page without any design at all. But think about it, when visitors land on your page and you’re selling them your product or service, do you expect them to believe you when you don’t even have a decent design that goes with the sales letter? I wouldn’t believe and I strongly believe you agree with me on this point.

The same concept applies for your ultimate footer ad squeeze page. If you have a nice-looking squeeze page that is professionally designed by a pro, your opt-in rate will surely increasse. For this single reason alone, you ought to really get a minisite design done by a professional. It’s really a pity if you say to yourself “I want to have an internet business” when your minisite design is really bad.

You might say to yourself “Hmm why don’t I design the minister myself?” My advice is NO do not do it yourself. If you don’t know anything about graphics, I highly recommend you to NOT do it on your own. There are 3 reasons for this. The first one is that your design is most likely very poor in quality. Second, you’d spend countless hours trying to design your minisite and your final design will still be very poor. You’d be a lot better spending your time to do stuff that you’re good at. The third reason is that hiring a professional minisite designer will save you both time and money, and the design will be tens, if not hundreds, of times better than your design.
