How
Do I Get Started?
Whether
you are thinking about a new site or want to upgrade your existing
sites, this is a good way to get started.
1. Think
about what you want your site to do. Will it be an online portfolio
so that prospective clients can preview your work? Are you interested
in e-commerce, do you plan to sell online? Do you want to promote
your work as an artist, writer, designer, artisan, or any other field
of endeavor?
2. Who is your
competition? Spend a little time searching the web for others who
do what you do. When you see a site you particularly like, make note
of the URL. This will be helpful when you begin work on your site.
3.
What sort of "look" are you most attracted to? What colors
do you like? Do you already have brochures and other material you
want to coordinate your site look with?
4. Give
us a call: 978-282-1518 or send us an email.
If you already have a URL and a host we can work with that. If not,
we can help you get one.
5. Once we have
talked about your needs and decide to move forward, the next step
is creating a look and feel for your site that sends the message that
best represents you. We'll work with you until YOU feel the overall
look of the site is what you want.
6.
Next it is a matter of getting the information you need to present
out there. About Us, Contact, Directions, History, Galleries, How
To Buy, —
these are all things that we can work with you on in order to present
the best possible representation of who you are and what this web
site is about. Call any time to talk over ideas you have. We're always
open to creative marketing ideas!
Search
Engine Optimization
Every new web site that goes live receives emails from marketing companies
saying that they can make your site Number 1. The internet has literally
billions of web sites and getting top positions with major search
engines like Yahoo and Google is everybody's objective.
We won't promise
to make you Number 1 but we will do as much as we can to optimize
your site for greater search-ability. When we talk about your new
or revised site, ask about search engine optimization and we'll tell
you what we have learned. SEO is a constantly evolving technology
but we learn new strategies all the time and want to help you as much
as we can.
We look
forward to working with you! Call 978-282-1518 or
email for rates
and time schedules.
