Website Checklist

  
 
Domain Name

Picking the right domain name for your website is an important tool to help your website to be found on the Internet by search engines. Try to pick a name that stands out from the rest of your competitors. A more unique name will help you to be found quicker. If possible, it is helpful if keywords of your topic or industry can be used in the domain name itself, actually incorporated into the title.

If you already have a company name and the domain you want is already registered by someone else, you can try registering something like: shopmywebsite.com or mywebsiteonline.com, my-website.com, etc. Try to stay true to your name, while being creative at the same time. Try to avoid dashes and dots if possible, and if you are a company, try to stay with a ".com", with ".net" being the second choice. These two selections are the most familiar to the mainstream public. If you are a government, organization, or educational entity its a bit easier because it is already set up for you; ".gov", ".org", ".edu.".

Web Hosting
Getting the right host for your website is very important for your website to function properly. A reputable company does not have to be expensive or very big to be reliable. It is also important to remember that some of the very large, very cheap hosts, have terrible technical help. If something is not functioning properly on your site and the problem is on their end, or your website goes down, be ready to wait a very long time to talk to a human being, and when you finally get someone to help, you cross your fingers that they can find a resolution and not have to pass you on to someone else to wait for! We prefer to work with smaller host companies that have a personal interest in their customers. The quality of technical services improves greatly with companies that value your business! It is far better to spend a few extra dollars a month and receive knowledgeable and reliable service. Click here to see information on our web hosting services.
Informative and Interesting Website Content

The more informative content on your website the better! This information helps your website's ranking in search engines, especially if you have keywords for your topic throughout the content. Lets say you are a travel agent and decide to add more informative content about honeymoons, vacations, and cruises to your website, so you can catch visitors that are using the keywords; honeymoons, cruises, vacations, getaways, etc. If you have different pages with content covering these topics and using the same keywords multiple times throughout the text, you increase your changes in showing up in search engines more often when visitors use these words for their searches.

Having more informative content also keeps visitors coming back for more information that can help them, especially if the content changes periodically. They will bookmark your site for easy access and will tell others about your site being a great resource. The word spreads and the next thing you know you are getting regular hits on your website! Too busy to write you website's content. We can help! View our website content services.

You may write the resource content yourself or enlist other writers. If you do not have the time or are not a very talented writer, you may contact people that have written articles on other websites and ask them to use their material, while giving them credit and having their contact information available. It is a win/win situation. You have more content and they get more exposure!

Attractive Graphics and Photographs

The photographs and graphics you provide your web designer with are imperative for an attractive and appealing website! If you cannot take good pictures, hire someone to do it for you. Having bad pictures on your website really brings the web design down quite a few notches. Having your original files of your logo also helps a great deal. Using copies of the original can really affect the quality of the end result on your website.

Don't have many pictures or you haven't had a logo created yet? Not a problem, we can take the pictures you want and create a company and/or organizational logo if needed.

Most Important!

A Reliable and Knowledgeable Web Designer!

We receive MANY clients that come to us after they tried to get their nephew, friend, or a very cheap web designer to create their website, leaving them frustrated with long waits, poor quality, and unreliability. It will end up costing you more money in the long run having to switch web designers mid stream, or having a more qualified web designer "pick up the pieces" from the first one. This is especially true if you are relying on your website to help increase revenue.

Pick the right web design firm from the very start! Check our references with any of our clients on our portfolio and they will be happy to let you know how creative, quick, reliable, and easy to work with we are.

Our prices are very competitive. Contact us for a free consultation and quote anytime!
