Web Site Design
Web site design is the range of activities required in the planning, development, and maintenance of a Web site. It includes but is not limited to graphics development, document coding, and application development. In general the main stages in the Web design process are as follows:
Web Site Hosting
Web site hosting is a service that provides the storage and connectivity necessary for a Web site, e-mail, and/or Web-based databases. A reliable host is the foundation for a successful site. Some of the most important factors in choosing a host are the host's servers, data center, and network. If you purchased Web design software to build your Web site, such as Microsoft® FrontPage, Macromedia® Dreamweaver, or NetObjects Fusion, you will need a basic Web hosting plan to put your Web site files online.
The InfoServe Media server is a Linux-based, high-end Web server designed from the ground up with small business requirements in mind. The data center where the server is located features redundant connectivity to multiple network providers, advanced fire suppression systems, and diesel powered generators capable of independently sustaining server operations for more than a week. The combination of the Linux server platform and the state-of-the-art data center translates into the most stable environment available for your Web site, e-mail accounts, and databases.
Domain Name Registration
A domain name is the unique name that identifies an Internet site. For example, "abcnews.com", "cnn.com", and "msnbc.com" are domain names. Every Web site you've ever been to, and every e-mail you've ever composed, has used a domain name in its address. People register domain names in order to claim a particular name - whether for business or personal reasons. Once a domain name is registered to a person or company, that registrant retains the right to use the domain name exclusively as long as they continue to pay the yearly renewal fee.
You can purchase domain names and renew them through this Web site. If you're just planning to reserve your name for future use, or if you are planning to develop your site yourself and have not already registered a domain name, this should be your first step.
Web Site Promotion
If your target audience does not know about your Web site, it's just a collection of meaningless files in cyberspace. On the other hand, if your site is listed in online search engines, and it is ranked well for targeted keyword terms, your site can be one of the most valuable asset of your business. Web site promotion is provided either as an integrated service with certain Web design packages or as a standalone service for existing Web sites.
