No matter how your Business is, Be it small or medium, taking your business online does give your business an edge over the others.This also means more customers, better customer relationships, more visibility and better branding for your business and it also makes it easy for your clients to understand your work better.Here's how you can have your own website.
Domain name
If we had to remember IP addresses of all the websites we visit everyday we will go nuts for sure.We are not so good at remembering numbers but yes we can remember words and that is exactly where domain names come in.you know a lot of domain names.Here are some examples- www.yahoo.com, www.mit.edu and ofcourse www.facebook.com.So domain name is nothing but the URL(Uniform Resource Locater) But remember this that the net demands that the domain name should be exclusive.Do not choose complicated domain names.Every domain name has an extension-.com, .in, .org, .edu etc.Some of these extensions can help identify the nature of the business like .org is usually registered for NGOs.You will have to buy a domain name for a year for rupees 100-500.Some of the sites that sell domain names are godaddy.com, net4.in.
Design the site
The site must be simple but it should be informative.In just 3 or 4 clicks a person must get to know all about your business.The Home page is the introduction to your company so it must mention the services the company has to offer.You must also design other page categories such as 'about us', 'products', 'services', 'contact us'.You can use various softwares to design the site like Adobe Dreamweaver and MS Publisher.You can also go to swishzone.com to create animations and you can also download templates for free.
Web hosting
This is the third step.Web hosting is transferring data from your computer to the net, where all can see it.You will have to buy Web space for this which costs more than 1000 Rs.Websites that sell domain names also sell web space.While buying web space one should buy atleast 10-40 MBs to add more pages, videos, text later.After purchasing a web space a file transfer protocol (FTP) with username and password will be e-mailed to you.
