Get the Website that You Want & Need!
|
What is the purpose of your site?
- provide information?
- attract new customers?
- service existing clients?
- sell products or services?
- entertain?
- educate?
- offer employee services?
- provide intra-company access?
|
First you will need to define why you want a website, the purpose, and your expectations. Then we can help you or show you how to achieve the goals and objectives of your website.
Whether it's short or long, text-based or graphic-driven, flashy, boring, helpful, or just for fun, websites have one thing in common: they all started with an idea and a blank page.
Are you offering entertainment, information or a service? Or do you want to sell, sell, sell?
So, what kind of website do you want... and/or need?
There are several types of websites, but most are developed to provide information, goods, or services. Your website is built with several web pages and elements within the pages:
- Basic "static" pages (Typically, you just click on links or buttons to browse) - a few examples are:
- educational (news, articles, references,, etc.)
- advertising your business - like an electronic billboard or flyer or catalog or several full page ads that run 24/7 worldwide...
- entertainment (photo galleries, videos, etc. that you can view)
- Interactive pages (Information is returned based on what you enter into a text box on screen or choice made between options) - a few examples are:
- search engines, directories
- blogs, forums
- surveys, quizzes
- feedback forms
- Portals (a page/website or section on a page that requires a log-in to access additional information) - a few examples are:
- educational (curriculum, courses offered)
- e-commerce/on-line store
- customer service portal
- company portal
- interactive social portal (blogs, forums, etc.)
- entertainment site (photo galleries, videos, etc. that you can upload your own)
It's your site! Let's make it do what you want it to!
