Starting Checklist
Here are some key items to ponder as we begin your website. We are here to assist you with all of these.
- Goals For Your Website
- Think about what you want to accomplish and who you want to reach with your website.
- Text & Copy
- Consider what you want to tell people about your business. Remember that people
will scan and skim your site. Clear and concise text will be more effective. We can help
you from rough draft to final edit.
- Photos & Images
- Start with your logo and images you already have. Digital photos are best and we can scan paper images.
Quality photos will add professionalism to your site. Sites like
iStockphoto
offer inexpensive stock photos.
- Designs You Like
- Look at the websites of your competition and other sites you like. Consider colors and layouts
you like and how they might relate to your brand or logo.
- Domain Name
- This is your address on the web - www.yourname.com. Keep it simple and easy to remember.
We can help you finalize and register your domain name with sites like
Go Daddy or
Namecheap.
- Web Hosting
- This refers to the computer where your web site lives. Sites such as
Go Daddy or
Namecheap offer low cost hosting.
We can help you get it set up.
- Shopping Cart
- A shopping cart is necessary if you plan to process orders on your site.
Paypal
is an inexpensive and trusted service that bundles a shopping cart and
payment processing together.
