I want to establish a strong presence on the Web. But where do I start?

The four easy steps that we provide below will guide you in the direction to a professionally designed, developed and marketed Web site.

• 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.
• Design of the Web Site -- This is where the look, feel, and content of the Web site are determined and created.
• 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.
• 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 reflex the search terms you will want your site to appear on search engines.
