Get the Website that You Want & Need!
First we need to define why you want a website, its 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, technical, 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 users 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
- users adding comments to articles
- users submitting feedback, customer testimonials, service comments, etc. that are posted immediately
- forms - user's info/response is sent to you via e-mail &/or collected in a text file, spreadsheet, or database
- blogs, forums
- surveys, quizzes
- Portals (an interactive page, website or section on a page that requires a log-in to access additional information)
- a few examples are:
- educational (student and staff info)
- e-commerce/on-line store
- customer service portal
- company portal
- interactive social portal (blogs, forums, etc.)
- entertainment site (photo galleries, videos, etc. that users can upload live)
 It's your site! Let's make it do what you want it to!
And get it ranked well in the Search Engine Results
