How do you go about getting your website up and running?

We can help.  Below we will give step-by-step instructions on how to get your act together, and what we can do to help you.

1. Figure out what your website is supposed to do.  Sounds obvious, but you would be surprised at the number of folks who really don't know.  Is the website to promote a particular business, organization or church.  Is the site going to need to collect money directly over the web.  There are many ways of doing this, and we can show you a couple of good ways of handling this without much up front costs.
2. Do your Homework.  If this is a business website, do some internet searching for whatever it is you hope to market, and see what others are doing.  Check several of the common search engines such as YAHOO, GOOGLE, or ALTA-VISTA. See what others are doing, and think about what you can do to stand out in a crowd.  Remember, the more unique your products are, the smaller the competition to have to fight.  If you're not able or willing to compete with what the majority of other companies are providing, then maybe an e-commerce website is not for you.  You may want to stick with a site that your direct customer base can go to for more information about your company and products.
