Getting Started

This information may help you to understand what is the web site development process and yours role in it. You are welcomed to contact us if you have questions. If you follow these steps, the process of getting online will be smooth and seamless:

1. Identify who will head up the web project. It is important to choose just a single individual to speak for everyone. Should be only one person identified as the main contact between your organization and us, and require everyone else to go through this contact.
   
   
2. Answer the questions. Print out and read the "Questionnaire" paper (an overview of all the various aspects which go into the early development of a web site). Have all the people on your staff who are working on the web project also read the paper. Type the notes up, pass them around for added input and discuss them at a second session until you are done.
   
   
3. Begin gathering your materials. These materials will include:
   • company brochures, catalogs, flyers, etc;
   • newsletters, articles written about your company;
   • press releases;
   • company logos;
   • staff photographs, product photographs;
   • building and office pictures, etc.
   
   
4. Plan your budget. There are three criteria:
   • what you want;
   • what you need;
   • and what you can afford.
   
   What you need and what you can afford will determine the first stage of your web presence. Developing a web site is a flexible process, and you can always add more pages and content later. The most important thing is to build a strong foundation.
   
   
5. Choose a Domain Name for your Internet address. If you have difficulties to choose a domain name, we can make all the arrangements for you.
   
   
6. Choose an hosting company to host your site. If you are not sure which one of hosting companies is good for you, we can provide recommendations, or if you prefer, we can make all the arrangements for you.
   
   
7. Web site promotion. To make your web presence truly effective, it must be thoroughly assimilated into every phase of your company's public relations. How to promote read here.
