Website Building

Q.  What type of web site do I need?  It all depends on what you want to do.

• Business Card Site. A web site that advertises your current business only or services with possibly some product pictures.  
• Business Card Interactive. One that advertises your business and products or services but people can contact you through a form on the web site.  
• Ecommerce. A web site that is your business.  You sell products or services online.  This is Ecommerce.
• Business Card Ecommerce.  You want to sell online and at your brick and mortar location.  
• Combination of Ecommerce, Dynamic, Interactive, Informational, Business Card. Start a dating site, classified ads site, real estate site, job site, car dealer site, photo gallery, newspaper, community magazine, blog, forum, social site, etc.  It's not as complicated as it looks.

How do I build a website?   If you want to try it you have options. 

• Learn the html / css code, design and develop your site, then publish it.
• Use an online site designer such as the Site Builder which we offer free in your hosting account. 
• Use a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor on your home computer and publish your site to your hosting account.
• Have someone design and develop your web site.  Some people have the time to develop their own web site or take it on as a hobby.  Others prefer to concentrate on business / marketing and have someone else design, develop, and sometimes even maintain the business web site.

If running a business is your goal don't get tied up in website development.  Don't let the web site take you away from customers, business ($), and marketing time. We will offer some suggestions and options.

Web Hosting

Q.  Which hosting setup do I need?

This will all depend on the type of web site you want for your business and consideration of future goals.  You may need a database, php MySql, CGI, CRON, ecommerce capability, and a merchant credit card account, etc.  Or you may not need any of these things.

and we will help you make the right choice.
