Where Do I Begin?
by Laurie E. Tenzer, da WebWahine
Start With An Objective
The best place to start is defining your objective for the site. Ask yourself: What do I want to accomplish with my web site? Some answers could be: communicating your message to a wide audience (generally called "establishing a web presence"); interactivity with other busiensses (vendors, customers); selling your products (eCommerce).
Start With Your Needs
Start with your business needs. A professional web developer can help you match those needs to the appropriate solution. Costs can vary from free to thousands of dollars depending on your objectives and needs. The free sites are for those people who have time: time to learn and/or develop the site. In general free sites do not allow you to use your own domain name.
Example: www.tripod.com/yourcompany instead of www.yourcompany.com.
If you can't invest the time then, you need to hire a professional developer like WebWahine.
Start With an Analysis
Many developers quote a price based on number of pages, number of images and number of links in the site. The best professional developers help their clients through a needs analysis so that the results are what you expect. The analysis also helps the developer quote accurate and fair price to you. Therefore, WebWahine provides a free analysis to determine the needs of you business. Then, we can truly ensure that you project will be successful. The client spends time defining the needs and providing the content (text and pictures) to the developer.
