1 - What do
you need for a website?
Computer: Although highly recommended, it is not necessary for you to have a computer but it is necessary for those wishing to view your site.
ISP: an Internet Service Provider is how you connect to the Internet. This ISP will provide you with an email address to communicate by electronic mail (email).
Domain Name: This is www.yourname.com; your address or home page on the Internet.
Host: An Internet presence provider. This is where your website is stored for the world to view.
Website Design: You'll need all the codes, computer language, scripts and graphics which, when put together, formulate your website into a viewable form for the world to see.
FTP: File Transfer Protocol to transfer information to and from your website for updates, repair, edits and changes. This is how web designers communicate with your domain at the host.
Maintenance: Updates, additions, changes, and most importantly, search engine analysis and submission of the pages that make up your website.
E-commerce is the buzzword for the new millennium, and for very good reason. The Internet is changing the way business is done with literally billions of dollars being made over the Internet. E-commerce simply means Electronic Commerce. E-commerce gives you the ability to accept payment over the Internet, by either credit card or electronic checks. Through E-commerce, you can sell products or services instantly to anyone in the world without having to constantly monitor your website.
3 - How does Web Solution Mart create my website?
There are many steps involved in designing and creating a fully functional website.
First, we determine the exact goals of the client's website. If, for instance, you are selling a tangible product then the goal would be a site that has your product listings, pictures, descriptions, prices and shipping information in an on-line catalog. The end goal being a website enabling the consumer to easily view, gather information about and then purchase these products on-line (e-commerce). In addition to these basic goals, there is the more far reaching and highly important goal of determining how this site will fit in with your marketing strategy. All these facts are formulated in a design layout that describes the fundamental business strategy behind the client's website. In essence, we want to ensure that we, as the website design team, fully understand what is required to satisfy our client's ultimate Internet and marketing goals.
Secondly, our design team works with the client to create a basic visual layout of how the site will appear on the screen. This can be as simple as being drawn out by the client on a plain piece of paper, using a word processor or even by showing us another website that looks like what you want your site to look like. In this step, we might make suggestions about adding any additional functions that are absolutely necessary or that might be useful. This step is our outline for the actual website.
The third step is to map the flow of the site from the consumers' point of view in order to ensure that potential customers can easily navigate from the entry point through to the main content pages (and all other pages within the site). This is done by providing intuitive and thorough navigational tools. In this last step, we combine all the above information (marketing strategies, e-commerce, and visual layout) and come up with the final and complete website design plan. Our design team registers the client's domain name, activates the client's host account, codes the pages and implements any other functions necessary to make the client's website functional. We fully test all components of the site. Then we submit the site in beta (or test) format for the client to view and approve. If any additions or adaptations are necessary, they are made at this point. The site is re-tested and then re-submitted for the client's final approval. Next, the site is uploaded to our server with a final test of all the site's functions.
Finally, when we are sure the test is in perfect order and the client is satisfied, the site is submitted to search engines and/or directories and the client is instructed to implement any additional marketing strategies. Your website is ready for the world to see!
4 - What costs will be involved with establishing a website?
There are three cost elements involved with developing a website and putting it on the Internet.
1. Website Development, Design and Start-Up Costs: This refers to paying a website design firm to create the site and place the site in search engine registrations worldwide. Costs also include buying a domain name and a small fee for your host server configuration. Included in this fee, at no cost, is advice or help in marketing your website. Your website's final costs vary and are proportional to site size and capabilities. Contact Web Solution Mart for a free price quote. (We recommend never building a website without a fixed cost quote in hand.)
2. Domain Hosting: Very affordable monthly fee
3. Periodic Editing, Update and Edits/Additions: Proportional to amount of monthly work required.
Generally speaking the web page should fit within an 800 x 600 screen size with out any left to right scrolling necessary. We would advise keeping pages under 350 to 400 words as this starts to make them unreadable. Download size of a page should be kept at under 70K maximum but preferably no more than 40k to 50K.
6: How many graphics can I have on a page?
As many as you like! Bear in mind that large graphics slow down site loading and you should keep within the rule above for web page size including graphics.
7. Do you design websites for individuals, too?
Of course! Our competitive and flexible pricing makes professional website design affordable for individuals and organizations. We can build a website for your club; a family reunion, wedding, or other special event; a tribute to a special person—the possibilities are endless. Tell us what you have in mind. Back to Top
8 - If I buy a website from you do I own it? Will I get to keep it if I decide to hire somebody else down the road?
Yes, once the website is complete you "own" it. Our clients are not obligated to host with us (even though most do) and are always free to have anyone they want work on their website.
