Domain name and Hosting
To use your company name as your web address, you will need to register a domain name. The domain name is unique to you. We can develop your website in around three to six weeks, complex projects may take longer. It is also helpful if you can prepare a chart of the pages of your website to establish the logical sequence in which you want the visitor to access information. Your website must be hosted by an ISP. Most ISP’s will have a variety of access plans to suit your budget. Usually you will require a plan that gives you a number of email addresses, a set amount of download and space to host your website.
