 Information-based websites are designed to provide information about you and/or your company. The goal of an information-based website is to entice the 'viewer' to 'get to know' your company, and then CONTACT you by way of a phone call, email or an online 'Request form!' Note: A 'secured' web server is not required for this type of web presence.
This is our most economical plan and is especially popular if you are on a limited budget - or if you are NEW to the internet experience and just want to 'test the waters' before making a large investment!
We will provide you with the following turn-key solution to get you started on the web:
- we will assist with your DOMAIN
We will assist you with setup of your DOMAIN - by helping with any questions you may have with the online forms and paperwork that you are asked to complete through Network Solutions, Inc. (who maintains your domain registration). Please be aware - that Network Solutions Inc will charge a 2 year registration fee of $70 for your domain. This bill will come from Network Solutions, Inc.
On the Network Solutions, Inc. site you can preform a DOMAIN name search for the domain name you prefer and if avaliable you will receive the following message:
NOTE: We have performed a domain search for your requested name of www.yourdomainname.com -- and this domain is presently AVAILABLE. You might also want to consider purchasing additional domains that are SIMILAR to this name (such as www.yourdomainname.com ) - which can enhance your marketing of the website.
- we will create a CUSTOM WEB HOME PAGE and 2 additional TOPIC pages - that will include your 'information' about your business, along with any photos or special graphics that you want to include. We will also incorporate clip art and other appropriate graphics - to give your site a CUSTOM, professional and visually appealing presence. We include a 3-dimensional LOGO to appear on your webpage.

This means - that we look to YOU - our client - to clearly direct us on your preferences, and styles that you find appealing. It is our goal to complete your project so that you are 100% satisfied with the results!
We will create the logo and appropriate graphics to display a professional and visually appealing FIRST IMPRESSION. This home page will also include your site index (or 'table of contents'). The table of contents will represent both general information 'navigational' pages + and will link to other sections of your site.
What we need from you:
a) Any logos or artwork
b) Any 'sound' or 'animations' that you want to include
c) Any specific websites (or competition) that has features that you would like us to emulate for your site
