Domain Name: Your domain name is your unique Internet identity and will remain so as long as you maintain that name. With your own domain name, you can change hosts and still be found. A unique domain name will attract traffic to the website because it will be easier to remember and to find in a search. There are many services online to search for available domain names so you can choose exactly what you want, or something close (if that name is taken). A domain name should be short, easy to remember, refer to your business name or services—also, you must obtain the .com extension to capture the main traffic searching using the .com platform. In preparation for website design, we can do the searching and establish your domain name and bill you the exact cost charged by the service.

Host Server: There are many companies offering a wide variety of hosting services. These companies provide plans that can be compared so you can make the decision as to which is the best plan for your website. These companies range from the tried-and-true, to the fledgling organizations—and as you would imagine, some provide better service(s) (for instance, no, or rare time lost by servers going down, the number of e-mail accounts, support, etc.) while others may be more economical for small or new businesses. In preparation for website design, we can find a host and bill you the exact amount charged by the service used.

By using HTML, Illustrator, PhotoShop, JavaScript, DreamWeaver, FrontPage, and other tools, we will create a customized look for your website. Unique graphics and artwork will be used in your website design. The construction of a website includes many elements that are absent (or not obvious) in self-use products. A website should be easy to navigate and should be easy on the eyes. It must be put together in such a way as to provide a uniform look. Pages should have similarities that provide a 'comfort' for viewers as they browse and navigate through the site. Pages can have different looks, but the layout should contain elements common to all pages.

We can incorporate existing logos, graphics and photographs. Logos can also be designed and photographs taken for actual shots of people, rooms, buildings, etc., and artwork created to present an idea or specific look.

Throughout the process, there will be examples of a main design, and outlines with the basic layout and look, before the pages are finessed to a final product. During this time, communication back and forth between designer and client is essential to provide a product to everyone's satisfaction. With agreement reached, we can set up e-mail addresses connected to the website, if needed, and transfer files to the account on your host server.

The best domain name and website won't be found unless the site is registered with the major web search engines. We will incorporate meta tags into your website. These tags tell search engines what your website is all about. A 'description' and 'keywords' will be included in the source code, invisible to visitors, but used by search engines as a method to describe your website. After transferring completed files into your host account, we can list your website with a service that will submit the site to the most commonly used search engines and bill you the exact cost for the service.

We will redo or update existing webpages at a cost per page basis.

Quotes will be prepared specifically to your website requirements based on the size, amount of design/graphic work, and other services specific to your website construction. Some of these would be photographs, animated graphics, flash, etc.—intricate work that would require extra time.
