What
do I need to get a web site started?
Technically speaking, you need a domain name, hosting and a method
to create / design your web pages. It also helps to have a copy
of your company's logo or letterhead if you want your web site
to match the rest of your company's branding package. Last, but
not least, figure out what content you would like to incorporate
into your site.
What
is a domain name?
A domain name
is your "address" on the World Wide Web. Domain names
are all registered and must be purchased, so do not be surprised
if the one you want is already taken. I will help you decide what
domain name will offer the most online presence and can register
the name as part of your design package.
What
is hosting?
If a domain
name is your address on the Web, then hosting serves as the site's
"house." A hosting service is selling you space on their
server where your web site "lives" and can be accessed
across the Internet. I can work with any hosting company that
you chose, but I also offer my own hosting packages. I also work with Inventive
Media in Scottsbluff.
How
do you design your sites?
I use Dreamweaver
and PhotoShop to design web sites. I work closely with clients
to decide what they want to get from their sites and who they
want to reach. From there we design sites around the content.
How can I maintain my web site once it is finished? I can either
train you or someone in your company to make updates to the site
or I can make the updates and changes as needed. I am always willing
to discuss customized maintenance plans. |
