Reason for Your Website

Are you offering entertainment, information or a service?
Or do you want to sell, sell, sell?

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.

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.

What kind of Web Pages 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" Web Pages

You click on links, buttons, images, to browse/navigate site - a few examples are: 

• many website "home" pages
• 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...
• FAQs
• customer testimonials
• entertainment (photo galleries, videos, etc.)
• manuals
• product instructions
• directories - staff, business
• locations, directions
