Client Planning for website content
The amount of time and effort this stage takes is often under-estimated.
While the "Initiation and Concept" stage is taking place, you can begin planning, gathering information and writing the content content you want included in your new website.
You will have to think about the text which will appear in your site, company branding and logo, staff bios, tag line/slogan, colour scheme, as well as any existing images or photographs that you would like to incorporate. Do you have any current marketing material that could be utilised?
Focussed Online can assist in this area and will provide documentation, hints and tips for good writing for web (we can even write the content for you) and, if company branding is required, we can help with that also. Click here to refer to our Graphic Design page.
Domain Name Registration
If you do not already have a domain name (i.e. www.focussedonline.com.au) you will have to find an available domain name that reflects your business and and register it. Focussed Online is happy to assist with this task if required and can recommend some excellent well-priced sources or arrange this on your behalf.
Web Hosting
Your organisation may already operate a web server, but if not, web hosting needs to be arranged. A web hosting server is a powerful computer that runs 24x7, is monitored for any performance issues and is maintained by experienced IT professionals. This computer stores the websites and makes them available to the world wide web.
Other services such as email and website statistics are usually offered with web hosting.
Please refer to "tips for new businesses" for additional helpful information.
