four steps! OR just one simple step? Setting up a website for your business is easy!!! Just follow these four steps to owning your own website: 1. domain name registration. 2. site design. 3. web hosting. 4. search engine registration. You coulld tie yourself up and do the above, or take the easy alternative.... with just One Step, simply contact us and we will do the rest for you ! 1. Domain Name registration You will need a name for your site. Your own domain name would look like this "www.yourname.co.uk", (ours is www.cplinternet.net.) Protect your company/brand name by purchasing your name now, to use at any time in the future. We can purchase and register the domain name of your choice subject to availability. We can advise on your choice of name to enable greater search engine recognition. To check if your name is available, use the 'whois' search on the left hand side of this page. Please remember to add the suffix of your choice. 2. Web site design A web page is simply a page of information. (You are looking at a web page now.) A web site is a collection of web pages, linked by a common theme ie. your company information. You may want to include pages containing the following information: a description about yourself or your company, details of your product/s, details of your service/s, contact information. By listening to your specific needs and requirements we will tailor the site specifically to your requirements, and not just provide an 'off the shelf ' solution. By using the latest software and techniques we will design these pages for you and 'create' your unique website. 3. Web hosting So now, you have a domain name and a website. Next you need some space on a webserver (a computer dedicated to storing webpages, and making them available to the internet for others to view). We can provide this space (this is called web hosting). 4. Search engine registration You have a domain name, website, and space on the world wide web. Many designers will leave you there - not us. How will people find you? Most people browse the web using search engines to help them find who/what they are looking for. We can register your site with the major search engines.
