TranslatorsCafe.com Web Site Builder

Introduction


We've launched the Web Site Builder on TranslatorsCafe.com, which is available to Master members and all active TranslatorsCafe.com members. Building a Web site is... no, we are not going to tell you that it’s easy. It’s not easy. However, with our templates and picture library it is much easier than building it from scratch.

Many people get intimidated when they think about creating their Web site. Designing Web pages can seem very complex until you build your first Web page. Then your second Web page. Then the third. You will notice after the third page that designing becomes a much simpler task.

Building a Site

Web Site Builder

Create your Web site using our easy step by step site builder. Start by selecting your Web site ID and a design from several templates. You can start with one template and change it later in one click.

The link to your Web site will look like

http://YourWebsiteID.at.translatorscafe.com

The Web site builder will suggest the most common pages that can be found on a site of any agency or a freelance translator:

  • About
  • Translation
  • Interpreting
  • Free Quote
  • Contact Us
Building a Site
Set up the Web site title, select the number of pages and their titles. Add your logo. Please note that some templates will look better without a logo.

If you don't have a logo, create one in an image processing application, for example, in Photoshop and upload it to TranslatorsCafe.com server (upload).

You can also use one of free logo design Web sites, e.g., CoolText, VistaPrint or search for other free logo design sites, create your logo there and upload it to TranslatorsCafe.com server (upload).
Building a Site
Create and manage page structures. Change the place of your pages in the menu, delete pages and add new pages. Of course, you will have to think about the text and images to place on your site pages before you start creating your Web site.
  • About
    • Describe your most significant accomplishments and how you achieved them. Explain why you believe them to be your most outstanding qualities.
  • Translation
    • On this page tell your potential clients about your or your agency’s translation business. Include information about your language pairs, services, specialization, subject areas and software you use. Describe your quality control process.
  • Interpreting
    • On this page tell your potential clients what kind of interpretation you provide. You can mention your membership in various professional organizations and describe the software and hardware you use for interpretation.
  • Free Quote
    • Use this page to invite your potential clients to send you a letter in which they can describe their translation or interpretation project and request a free estimate of their project.
  • Contact Us
    • Provide your full contact information on this page.


Please read and follow the design tips to achieve better results. We prepared them using one of our templates.
Building a Site
Fill in information about yourself or your translation agency into your pages using a WYSYSYG HTML editor. You can add text and pictures, then preview your pages.

For example, if text for your pages is ready, then this professional result is just ten clicks away:
