I want to establish a strong presence on the web. But where do i start?
The four easy steps we provide below will guide you in the direction of a professionally designed, developed and marketed Web site.
Step One: Domain Name (URL) Registration -- This is the address people will use to access your Web site (www.yourcompany.com). Once you have determined that the URL you wish to use is available.
Step Two: Design of the Web Site -- This is where the look, feel, and content of the Web site are determined and created.
Step Three: Hosting Your Web Site on a Web Server -- This is basically where you rent space on a computer that is always connected to the Internet. Price will vary, depending on the amount of disk space you will have and the connection to the Internet.
Step Four: Marketing Your Web Site -- You should be thinking about the marketing of your Web site as it is being designed. The content of the site needs to reflex the search terms if you want your site to appear on search engines.
What Is Web Design?
Web design is the skill of creating presentations of content (usually hypertext or hypermedia) that is delivered to an end-user through the World Wide Web, using a Web browser or other Web-enabled software.
The intent of web design is to create a website, a collection of electronic documents and applications that reside on a Web server. The website may include text, images, sounds and other content, and may be interactive.
Why does my business need a website?
When you create a website for your business, you are helping your business to gain a competitive advantage that could help your company succeed. A website allows you to reach new customers by broadening your marketing message in a rapidly growing medium.
A website can help you reach new consumers, keep you in closer contact with your current customers, and may enable you to respond quickly and efficiently to their changing needs. Furthermore, with the tremendous growth of E-Commerce on the Internet, a website may significantly increase your revenue, especially if your site includes online ordering.
Why don't I see any pricing for development on your website?
Our work is all customers specific. It is not practical to list estimated pricing for our services. We can prepare you a quote or proposal as long as you can provide us a brief on what your requirements are.
Web Site Content - What Do I Put On My Site ? Did Softspark Provide Content For My Website?
That would depend on the goals of your web site. If you run a business website you would include as much information about your products or services that your customers would need to purchase from you. And SoftSpark never gives you the content for your website unless you paid extra for that.
How Long Does It Take To Have A Web Site Designed?
The time frame is determined by the size of your web site, the complexity of your site design, and our current client design schedule.
What Is The Difference Between A “Static” And A “Dynamic” Site?
A static site is one that is written in HTML only. Each page is a separate document and there is no database that it draws on. What this means functionally is that the only way to edit the site is to go into each page and edit the HTML - so you'd either have to do it yourself using a webpage editor like FrontPage or pay me to go in and edit the site each time you wanted something changed.
A dynamic site is written using more complex code and can do a lot more. For instance, I can make an area where you can log in and change various parts of the site, such as adding information or products. This is because each page is constructed based on the information in a database, and the information in that database can be changed via another interface.
How Many Pages Can I Have On My Web Site?
As many as you like. From a search engines point a view - The more the better!
What Are The Things That You Expect From My Company To Complete The Web Site Design?
Brochures, logos, photographs, product descriptions, business cards etc. are all recommended resources to use. For new businesses we will help you get started from scratch. A dedicated person will answer any questions during your website project.
Is There Any Maintenance Required After Designing And Hosting A Web Site?
Depending on the business, some amount of maintenance would be required. As your business evolves, it may require some things to be added, deleted, or modified. If there is no much change in the business from time to time, the maintenance will also be minimal.
Can you develop our website even if we are in a different Country?
Yes. We can develop your website if we obtain the right channel of communication from the start. We have developed many websites for clients abroad and sometimes it takes a few days longer to finalize a project. But generally if you like the work of SoftSpark, don't let the distance be a factor.
What is the best way for us to contact Cacti Media?
You can contact us by phone, email, fax or through our online web-based Online Quote system. The best method by far would be by email, since we are constantly working and replying on the emails.
