Information Collection and Web Site Development

Please be aware that you will need a basic knowledge of HTML and FTP access to your files if you intend to do anything by yourself. However your site is the first thing your prospects see, so it's better to outsource your web site building to professional designers. Whether you're building a site yourself or with a design company, first identify your web site's goals and style. Try to answer the following questions and drop down your responses.

* General idea of the task you are solving: Web Site purpose, idea, your vision of your web site. Web site's name. like www.ineedlink.com
* Preferable style: strictly formal, somewhat informal, informal, eccentric
* What is the preference for colors in your Web Site?
* What sections do you want in your site? (e.g. about your company, company history, product pages, executive bios)
* Do you want your site to act as a virtual salesperson, performing online transactions?
* Will you need to develop any special tools for users to interact with your site?
* Do you already have a logo that your site designer must incorporate in their design?
* About how many pages are you looking to have designed?
* Do you want your site to be structured to help gather data for marketing purposes?
* Once you've finished, feel free to send your answers to a web design company for evaluation and further discussion of your site's layout, structure and functionality.

The next step is to gather all the information which will be used on your web site, i.e. text, images, sound and video. This information can come from a variety of sources such as word processor documents, brochures, image files you already own, photographs you have the rights to or your existing web site.

How the development process is going on?

Step 1.
Initial concept

First we start working on the initial concept for your future site. This is a picture that represents how your home and inner pages will look; it is an idea for a final design. This unique approach to web page work allows you to see the design before you purchase a complete web site.

Our designers review and analyze all the information you had sent us. We assemble all of the parts and you get a unique design (layout, graphics, navigation structure) of your home page and an inner page, represented by pictures in JPEG or GIF format.

Step 2.
HTML coding

When the initial design concept is ready, we'll send it to you by e-mail. You should review it, and advise us about the changes you want us to make. We'll continue working on your design to fine-tune it to your liking, assuming that the number of alterations is less than the maximum allowed or additional charges will be applied. After you had approved everything , we do the html coding for the site. Once the site is ready, you can view it in a holding area on the internet. When you've seen and approved the results, you submit the remainder of the payment due and we post your data to your registered space. Your site is theoretically live at that point however domain propagation may take longer depending on when you registered your domain and when notice was given to the hosting company.

The final step is registering your site with all the various search engines so that it will be found when someone searches for your product or service. This can take from two to four weeks depending on the search service.

Once you created a web site, inevitably you will need to renew it constantly. Keep your site's professional look! Site maintenance embraces not only data refreshing and input of new pages and graphical images, but also new databases guiding, data backup archiving, programming, and much more. The difficulties of site maintenance in its depth are known to professional webmasters. When it is done by web professionals, it shouldn't be the care of you.

There are two costs associated with the production of a web site:

* A one-time's fee for the design and production of content; the initial set-up of web space or hardware; or for a service that occurs infrequently or one time only.
* A recurring fee for the maintenance or hosting of the content; the maintenance and running costs of the hardware and connection; or an event which occurs on a regular basis.

Our web site design fees generally include:

* Visual Concept, a unique design (layout, graphics, navigation structure) of your home page and an inner page, represented by pictures in JPEG or GIF format- Up to four alterations to the Visual Concept
* Final professional HTML/JavaScript realization of your home and inner pages
* Custom graphics developed exclusively for you
* Pages optimized and tested for both Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator
* Pages optimized for fast loading
* JavaScript programming for the main menu ("mouseover" effects), if desired
* Built-in META tags with comments showing what information to enter for submission of your web site to search engines
* One month of free technical support

Our web site maintenance fees usually include:

* Correction of typos or spelling errors
* Replacement of text with text provided by the client
* New or additional contact information, such as telephone or fax
* Numbers, e-mail addresses, new prices or fees
* New pages
* New content

Domain and Hosting Planning

The next and important consideration is your Internet address (domain name).

There are two options to having an Internet address. If your company was called something, you could try to buy the domain name www.something.com
The good thing about having this as your Internet address is that you're really easy to find. This is the most obvious name someone would guess at if trying to find you on the Internet.

If you like the idea of having your own domain name then our advice would be, register it now, as names are being snapped up fast.
Establish a domain name which is available and suitable. You can register this name and arrange for it to be linked to your server space. Check your domain name is available.

The second option is to have your web site positioned under someone else's domain,
Having a name like this is free. The downside of this is its unlikely someone would be able to guess your Internet address and it wouldn't look as professional on your letterhead and business cards. There's an element of prestige attached to web addresses.
Big companies like to have their own domain names, as www.ineedlink.com sounds a lot more impressive. Check for domain names availability and register.

If you're in the process of finding an appropriate host for your site, you'll probably ask yourself "Why should I pay for hosting when I can get it for free?"
The answer depends on the nature of your site. A paid hosting plan is essential for some sites, while for others a free host might offer all the facilities you need. But which should you choose?

When choosing a host, the amount of bandwidth you purchase can be crucial to the success of your site. Generally speaking, the more bandwidth you have, the more traffic your site will be able to handle at one time.
