Domain
Name Registration
Domain Name Registration is probably
the first step that should be taken when planning your
web site. The domain name will give your web site
its address on the internet. It is literally your
business or private "domain". Many of
the clever names are taken, but you never know.... one
may find that needle in the haystack. If the name
you would like is taken, try a dash ( - ) in the name or
you may even go with net.
There are many extensions a person can get now biz, cc,
tv, org, but it's best to stick with .com or .net when
at all possible as those are the most well known.
Color
Schemes
Probably
the most important aspect of designing a web site is the
colors that you use.
Monitors
were not all created equal. Not every monitor or
graphics card can display so many colors. The most
common color problems occur because different monitors
offer different color depths.
The Web-safe color palette is a collection of colors
that look the same on any monitor that's capable of
displaying 256 colors --basically on every computer
monitor. This is an easy way to
insure that the color that you select that looks great
on your monitor, will look great on your customers
monitor as well.
We
have set up a Web-safe color
calculator for your convenience. You can
select different background colors and see what they
actually look like in your monitor. We invite you
to use this page to get an idea of what colors might go
well with your logos, type, buttons and other features
of your website.
Text
Now for the body of the web site... your text. You
will want to choose text which best describes your
business or web site you are creating. If your
text is already in a digital format such as Word or Word
Perfect, etc.. we can easily paste that in. If
not, we can easily type it in. Many of our clients
email us the text they would like to use for each page
and we just copy it from there.
Graphics
We allow 4 pictures or logo type graphics for each
page at no extra charge. Remember the least amount
of pictures you have, the less time it will take to open
your page. We like the pages we design to take no
more than 15 seconds to load on a 56.6 modem which means
it would be less than a second to load on a ISDN and T1.
Please refer to our graphics
page for more information on scanning and designing
graphics..
Buttons,
Navigational Links
We can create click able buttons, images and map
images and links to other sites. Just let us know
what you would like.
Forms
Forms are a great way to gain feedback on your site.
We can set up forms for you at an additional cost.
Testing
Finally, you are ready for the testing end of it.
We do offer a live internet "test" atmosphere
so that you can see the developments along the way.
This will enable us to get a feel of exactly how you
want your web site laid out.
Uploading
to a Server
Western Webpages offers an extremely low
monthly hosting fee of only $14.95 per month. (If
you pay up front on 6 month increments, we offer one
month free.) If you already have a host you would
like to use, we can work with you in setting it up on
their server.
Marketing
your Web Site
Once your web site is live on the internet, you will
want to get word out about it so that people can see it!
We include the required keywords that you will need to
get your site on the search engines. We also
submit your website to 10 of the top search engines.

further, please visit welink4u.

Your Web Site
Whenever you want to update your website, that's
what we're here for. Usually just quick
email with the changes you would like is all it takes.
