- Your new
website

We will do everything you need to get your business online for
the first time. We'll explain exactly what you need and why, and
then we'll do it all for you. Here are the steps we take:
New Website Phase I
- Help you choose a domain name
- Register that domain name for you
- Help you choose a hosting company (see
Choosing a Host Company) and sign you up
- Connect your domain name with the hosting company
- Meet with you, in person or on the phone, to learn exactly what
you want and expect. Here we help you come up with concrete goals
you want to achieve with the new website and discuss with you
possible Web services (read Web
Services article) and lead generation features you can include
- Guide you through the development of your new look & feel
Web design, helping you decide
what will best communicate your business message (see
Website Manifestation and Top
10 Ways Websites Make Me Suffer articles)
- Explain the different computer server platforms and languages
you can choose from and the pros and cons of each. We'll then
help you determine which to choose for your new site and what
Web programming will be needed
New Website Phase II
- We then begin creating mockups of various look & feels that
match what you want. We post them to our server for you to view
online. The purpose of the mockups will be to achieve the exact
look and feel you want before we begin production.
- You then let us know what you like and don’t like until
you approve of a specific design for the homepage and inner pages
completely – this can happen for as many iterations as needed.
Generally, we offer up to four (4) interations included in the
price of our quote, any more and we charge by the hour.
- We establish a design freeze and begin production
- We build the site with e-marketing in mind (see Online
Marketing Campaign article). This means making it search engine
friendly, and suggesting ways in which you can leverage your new
site for lead generation
- We publish the site on a staging server for your review every
few days for you to review. We only continue when you are satisfied
with the what we have done so far
- Test everything and post it for your final review
- Publish it live to the World Wide Web
