The four easy steps that we provide below will guide you in the direction to 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, the cost to register a name is anywhere from $8.00 to $35.00 per year. A domain name needs to be renewed every year. We can register your domain name for you for $9.95 per year. Step Two: Design of the Web Site -- This is where the look, feel, and content of the Web site are determined and created. This is the tedious, time consuming part of the set up. We want you to be 100% satisfied with your website and we will work long and hard to get just the look you want.
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. Webhosting with our service, OnTarget Hosting.com is $80.00/year for the OnTarget Package or $130.00/year for the BullsEye Package. 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 reflects the search terms you will want your site to appear on search engines. Repeating the topic of your site often, gaining links from other sites to your site, and submitting your site to search engines on a regular basis are the keys to placement. |
