How to Begin!

    There are key steps to consider before building a first class website, steps that actually preceed working with a web designer. The steps aren't difficult but are important in the process of putting a site together. Creative Design Group can help you with this process.

       First, we must decide why your business needs a website and the audience it will target. With the number of Internet users at over 70,000,000 strong and growing, can you afford not to have a website?

       Next, determine what topics or information your website should contain. This could be product information, contact information, a searchable database, special pricing or pages of photographs. What will appeal to your target audience?

          Then, set the goals of your website. Do you wish to sell products online or offer customer support?

          There are other things to do to lay the groundwork for your site. Take a look at what resources you and/or your staff can devote to your website. You may want to assign a webmaster to oversee the project. This should be someone within your company who can work to gather information and ideas, not only at the beginning of the project but on an ongoing basis. They need not know the Internet but must know your business.

          You will also have to consider Domain Name Registration. We will research your domain name request and, if available, register that name. You'll want your domain name to represent your business and be easy to remember. Which name would be best: yourbusiness.com, business.com or yourname.com? Your choice may also depend on which name is available.

          Once you have completed this process, you will have a clear and feasible plan for your website. Following your free consultation with Creative Design Group, you will be well on your way to making your presence known on the World Wide Web.

          The experience of developing a website is painless, even if you aren't familiar with the ins and outs of the Internet!
