How to build a Website or Web page
If you are thinking of buying your first Website or how to build one, and have been browsing the Internet looking at all the options, then you may, already, be a bit confused by now.
The following pages, therefore, offer some advice that, hopefully, will take some of the mystery out of buying or building a Website. Although, we are Web Designers and may have some biased views (we apologise in advance), we will, nevertheless, try and give you some objective advice on buying or how to make a Website. However, to make sure we help you get over the first hurdle, we recommend you read our article on Advantages On Internet Business. If you believe a Website is primarily for advertising, then it is a must read.
Getting started
There are, basically, four main areas you need to consider when purchasing a Website;
- Domain Name Registration i.e. www.yourcompanyname.co.uk.
- Arranging Small Business Web Hosting.
- Web Page Design and Layout.
- And finally, Strategic Internet Marketing.
Domain Name Registration
If you have not already registered a Domain Name, then an opportunity
has been missed to give your business a more professional Email presence.
Registering a Domain Name can cost as little as £10 and you do not
need to have a Website. Having
jsmith@yourcompany.co.uk
is much more credible than jsmith@yahoo.com, jsmith@hotmail.com
or jsmith@btconnect.com.
Hosting your Website on the Internet
For anyone to access your Website on the Internet, your site has to be
hosted by a company, "wired" into the Internet. Advice on
this subject is given on the Website
Hosting section
of this article.
Web Page Design and Layout
Most of this article concentrates on issues that need to be addressed
when designing your Website. Advice includes;
agreeing
site objectives,
creating sales arguments, writing good copyright; being aware of Search
Engine requirements and what to look for in a Web Designer.
Strategic Internet Marketing
Many new Website owners are, unaware, their site needs to be submitted
to Search Engines and Directories if it is to be found by the Internet
community. This area
has turned in to
a bit of a science over the past few years and many companies are being
caught by unscrupulous suppliers looking to make a quick profit. The Website
Marketing pages within this article, should help you avoid
these suppliers and describes various methods how to get your new Website
noticed.
