Here is another client who started out with a DIY website through GoDaddy. When it was time to do SEO, the client approached one of my friends who specializes in SEO and my friend told him there was nothing he could do until he had a better site. One of the great things about WordPress is that it’s so SEO friendly. Having a developer create a WordPress site for you may cost more in the short-run, but in the long-run, it’s the best investment if you want to maximize the usefulness and flexibility of your site. If you want a site that’s going to be able to grow with you over the long haul, it’s better to spend the extra time and money now and invest in WordPress.
Here is the site before and after:

Thanx for sharing! I want to become a website master but I am not good enough in coding and such builders as WordPress are too difficult for me yet so my 1st website I made by means of http://mobirise.net/ . Its SEO friendly. So maybe it will help someone too.
