How do I want my website to
serve me? |
|
You can use your website to sell services and merchandise,
enlist new members or sponsors for your special interest group,
increase donations for a non-profit organization, publish an online
tutorial,
circulate a survey to collect information,
or simply tell the world a little something about yourself.
Be sure to take some time to answer this basic and very
important question.

How large do I need my website to be? |
|
Websites are a collection of individual pages; each page having
its own title and topic. Some websites have just a few pages,
others may have dozens or even hundreds of pages! To help you get
an idea of what size your site needs to be take a look at our
portfolio page. Look over our
collection of in-service websites to get ideas of how your business might look on the Internet.

Do I need a logo? |
|
Having an attractive logo of your company name really helps
people to remember you. If you already have a logo we can install
it into your new site. If you'd like a new logo we will create 3 to
5 unique design ideas for your consideration. We will be happy to
utilize any design features, colors, or shapes that you wish to
see in your new logo. |

How do I get my new site on the Internet? |
|
You will need to establish an account with a Web Hosting Service.
This company will house your website on a large computer called a
server, making your website available 24/7 to anyone with an
Internet connection. The Web Hosting Service will also provide the
means for you to choose and register a domain name to give the
world a way to find your site. Domain name registration can cost
$15 to $30 a year. Wire-Rider can suggest a list of preferred
Web Hosting Services for you to choose from. The monthly fee for
such services will typically be between $10 and $25.

What about future updates to my site? |
|
Most websites require occasional changes to their content. Some
require updates every month. After your site is complete you'll
probably want to make changes to the text or images from time to
time. Wire-Rider can perform these tasks for you whenever they are
needed. Feel free to call us anytime to receive our prompt
attention. We have complete information on site maintenance on our
services and fees page
