When you're just getting started, the web can be an intimidating place. Questions like, "How do I get started", "What do I need to have a website", "Do I need a .COM?" and "What on earth is hosting?" begin to arise. There are four main components to any websites:
Having the proper domain name is one of the most important parts of a website. A good domain name represents your company and is easy to remember. However, with the millions of domains already registered, it can sometimes be hard to find an available domain that's right for you and your company. The web experts at WhirlWind Creative have helped register countless domains for our clients. We'll meet with you, learn about your business and help you choose the domain name that's right for you. Need help registering it? No problem. Just let us know and we'll handle everything for you.
Once you buy your domain name, you need to purchase a place to store the files which will make up your website. Hosting can range greatly in price and capabilities. It can cost anywhere from a couple dollars a month, to several hundred. The price you pay will depend mostly on the needs you require for your hosting. 90% of our clients are often able to take advantage of less expensive hosting options; however, some do require more complex solutions. Our team of gurus will discuss the functions your website will have and the impact it will have on your hosting service. In the case where your company requires its own private server, WhirlWind Creative has the staff and experience to help you out every step of the way.
Unless you work for AOL, Yahoo, or Microsoft, you and your company shouldn't be using @aol.com, @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com, or any other generic email extension. When you send an email from a branded extension which represents your company, it helps establishes company, and helps your clients take you seriously. Considering the inexpensive, or even non-existent, cost involved, there aren't many reasons not to brand your email. WhirlWind Creative's website developers will talk you about all of your email options and even set everything up for you if you need the assistance. Contact us today about setting up your email server.
Once you have your domain registered, your hosting set up, and your email system established, all that's left is building your website. While this is a big step, WhirlWind Creative can design and build you a custom web option that fits your needs and your budget. Whether you're looking for a simple landing page, a basic 5-page site, or a full-fledged e-commerce option, our team has the solutions for you and your company.
