Get online for the first time - 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
