Hosting Web Design Web Sites Contact Us About Us Domain name RETURN © 2007 Blues Host |
We really enjoy creating sites that reflect the image of you and your business. You have spent time creating your brochures, logos and advertising. We do not want to re-create you on the Internet. We want to extend your business to a new medium of advertising. One that can save you and your business a great deal of time and money. We offer hosting services for anyone. No two sites. No two sites are the same, but may have the same goal. There is no reason your site should look like every other site on the Internet to achieve that goal. The Internet is a powerful tool that needs to be incorporated into your regular business plan. If you have a business you plan to create and you have no plan to work it every bit as hard as you would a store front business, you may be disappointed in the result. You can do it yourself or hire someone or company to do it for you -but- you must do it to survive in the new digital medium. Just because you have a lovely web site does not mean you are doing business. Before we get started. Let's talk about the Web and its wealth of publishing possibilities. Anything you can put in print, music or video can be published. If you are contemplating using the Internet to extend your existing business or create a new one, you should get a professional to assist you. Take a look at other sites they have worked on and choose someone who will be able to represent you and your company properly. After all, would you prepare your own advertising to publish in a national magazine? Unless you are a graphics or advertising genius, chances are you would not. It might look amateurish. The Internet is really no different. You can reach a larger audience than any national publication in less time for a fraction of the cost.

You have searched the Internet, you know what you like and do not like. Plan your content - your navigation - design your introduction before you start working with any web designer. If you are starting from scratch - investigate other sites that are similar to what you are going to be marketing. Find out what works or does not work for them.

A) You have to find a company to host the site. (monthly fee) B) You have to pay to register the site (each year). C) You have to pay for someone or company to maintain the site.
