Domain
Registration
We believe that if you are creating and maintaining a web site with our assistance,
your site should be just that. YOUR site. This means that we will assist you
in obtaining your own domain name (e.g. www.anyname.com), from reliable and
cost effective, third party registrars that offer you features you will need.
And this ensures that the domain name remains ABSOLUTELY YOURS for as long as
you desire. If you should move beyond us in your online endeavors, your domain
name is yours to take with you. No hassles. No headaches.
Anyone offering you a “we’ll get the domain registered for you”
or “you don’t need one, we’ll make you a sub site of our domain”
is doing you no favors. They would hold legal control of that domain name to
do with what they wish. And transferring a domain name can be a really sticky
situation if you’ve had a falling out with someone. Don’t take the
chance. Let us help you register your own domain name.
Remember, we’re here to assist you in getting YOUR site going.
Site
Design
If you look around this site, we hope you’ll get the impression that we
know a thing or two about putting sites together. But web site design doesn’t
just entail how a site looks. It also must be put together well in its guts.
The part of the site that no one sees. The html code and file directory structure.
Internal site construction has consequences far beyond your sites performance.
Sloppy design creates “backdoors”. These are little windows of opportunity
for industrious hackers to get into your site, steal your content and drive
your bandwidth costs through the roof. One of the best defenses against this
is a clean, efficient code that offers them little opportunity.
Hosting
Do you need a WindowsNT2000 server or a UNIX server?
Honestly, what normal person would ever know the answer to that? Well, that’s
an example of one of the questions you would need the answer to before you choose
a web hosting company.
Hosting is one those things that, when chosen well, never causes any problems.
But when chosen poorly, is a nightmare with no end. We do not host websites
for our clients. What we do is recommend certain hosting companies. Companies
that not only provide reliable service, but also fair bandwidth costs. Not all
hosting companies are the same. Some offer ridiculously low rates, but have
terrible track records of up time. Some draw you in with low or no setup fees,
but the bandwidth rates are astronomical. We help you choose carefully because
no matter how good your site is, if the server is down (how many times have
you heard that phrase before), your site is down, too.
Consulting
Consulting is free for our clients. We’re available to answer questions,
give direction and generally offer a helping hand when needed. Consulting services
are available to non-clients for a nominal fee.
