Most Bulldog Media of NH clients have never had a web site or realized the impact a web site can make on their business. Bulldog Media of NH is perfect for beginners and technical terms are explained simply and you are relieved of the worry to figure out how it all works.
Domain Name
The first thing you need to do is select a domain name. This is something like www.yourname.com. Your domain name should be your business name or your personal name.
There are many extensions to domain names. The most popular is .com, .net and .org. There is also .ws, .info, .tv, .us and more. Getting a .com domain can be the most difficult, but you can visit www.netsol.com to see if the name you want is available. If it is not, it will also offer suggestions. Before you register a domain name, let Bulldog Media of NH assist you with selecting and registering the domain name.
Web Hosting
Once you have a domain, you need a web hosting company to store the files that are created and display them to all who visit your site.
There are countless companies offering web hosting and they can range from a few dollars a month to hundreds of dollars a month. Selecting the right web hosting company is critical. Bulldog Media of NH will help select the right hosting company for your needs.
Bulldog Media of NH recommends two companies: Esosoft and DotEasy. Esosoft offers affordable hosting services for under $90/year and includes fast and reliable servers with 1gb of storage, daily statistics reports, up to 1000 e-mail addresses, unlimited traffic, free e-mail tech support and the option to add a secure server. DotEasy is free and offers 100mb of storage, 10 e-mail addresses, 1gb monthly transfer limit and limited self-help support.
Design & Content
Think carefully about what information you want to relay to your web site visitors. Most sites consist of a home page which conveys a general overview of your business or organization's services, bio/about us page which tells the visitor about your mission and background of the business owner or organization's history, a contact page where visitors can easily contact you by phone, e-mail, mail and get directions, as well as a links page and other pages detailing specific products or services you offer.
Bulldog Media of NH will make a site that is easy to navigate. It doesn't do anyone any good to get "lost" in your site. A proper layout will ensure that visitors will find all the information they need quickly.
Updates
After your site is built, Bulldog Media of NH can keep your site updated regularly, whether it's daily, weekly, monthly, or even annually. Affordability is the key, and with Bulldog Media of NH, you won't go broke keeping your site fresh. With updating service charges up to 50% less than many other site builders, you can't afford NOT to update your site. An updated site will show that you care about your appearance, and in a competitive marketplace, isn't appearance half the battle? An updated site keeps your visitors coming back -- the statistics prove it!
