Advice and assistance with domain name registration
A domain name is a unique address that identifies your web site on the internet. It also forms the basis of your e-mail address. For example, registering the domain name 'www.yourcompany.com' would enable you to use an e-mail address such as 'sales@yourcompany.com'.
Even if you are not ready to join the internet revolution just yet, you should consider registering your domain name before somebody else does. More than 70,000 names are registered each month!
Other domain types available, please contact me for details.
Advice and assistance with choosing your web host
Having developed the web site, it needs to be 'published' to a server with access to the World Wide Web (WWW) in order for it to become visible to people 'surfing' the Internet. Space on these servers are leased in the form of web hosting packages (usually for 12 month periods).
Depending on the physical size and technical content of the site, I will recommend the most suitable web hosting package and take care of all the administrative tasks involved in setting up the package on your behalf.
I only deal with specialist hosting providers, with reliable, high speed servers and guaranteed service levels. These factors help to ensure that your site will be 'visible' to the public 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Web site Optimization
Search engines and directories are the main way internet users discover web sites. Research shows that up to 86% of users find sites through the top search engines.
As well as submitting your site to these directories and search engines, unless your site's meta tags and content are correctly written your ranking will still remain low (which means you could placed be 80th in line against your competitors!).
I will build in search engine optimization techniques that will assure you of increased traffic.
Web site Accessibility
Taking into account how the users access your site is another important part of the design. Users view web sites through a wide variety of computer's and browser sizes. All pages will be tested within several browsers and screen resolutions.
Web accessibility also means access to the web by everyone, regardless of disability. Up to 10% of the world population has a disability and many of these affect access to the web. Our sites take into account these important issues to ensure that you have a site which is accessible by everyone.
