The ABC's to setting up a website
+ What is a good domain name for my particular business?
If your company already has an established identity in your area, then use your company's name.
If you are a startup business, then do some research for commonly used keywords for your particular kind of business. If possible, incorporate those
words into your domain name. It it best to find keywords that have the most amount of traffic but the least amount of competition.

+ After you have purchased your domain name, what's next?
You need to decide whether you are going to have your website professionally designed or use a pre-built template.
If you decide due to budget contraints to use a pre-built template then you need to decide on which web hosting plan is best for you. Then you need to decide if you
want to use a Windows or Linux platform. This is usually just a matter of preference unless you have a preexisting website you would like to transfer to our firm or you have
experience with a particular language. We have plans to suit most sizes of businesses. You can change the size of your plan at any time.
All of our plans include site studio which gives you a number of templates to choose. If you have a fixed budget but would like to hire someone to design your website, consider submitting your project requirements
to a Guru. One of the advantages of this service is once you decide how many pages you need designed you can submit a project and will usually receive multiple bids on
performing the work. You also can read previous reviews and usually see samples of their work. When you have selected the winning bid you place that amount in an
escrow account that is not released to the designer until you are satisfied with the work. Finally, unless you are good at writing or you already have brochures that can
be incorporated into your website you should consider hiring a freelance writer from this same service. Search engines reward unique content.
