Design,
Implementation and/or Maintenance of Your Web Site
Establishing a presence on the
Internet is becoming as important, if not more so, than advertising in newspapers,
magazines or even on television. A well-designed website can impart much more detailed
information to the reader, as well as providing the opportunity for "non-threatening
dialogue" via E-Mail regarding services, products or facilities provided by the
company or organization.

Domain
Name Registration
A Domain Name is
the name by which you are known on the Internet, for example,
www.mybusiness.com.
Your first step
to establishing a presence on the 'net should be to carefully choose and
register your Domain Name. A name may contain only letters, numbers and the
hyphen or underline characters. Spaces are not permitted.
Your Domain Name
should be chosen to reflect your company or business name, and MUST be unique.
Ease of entry is important, so keep it as short as possible! At Questra Graphics
we have years of experience of helping our clients choose and register
Domain Names.
If you have not yet registered a Domain Name for
your website, we will be happy to arrange this for you.
Charges for registering your domain name generally
vary from $16 to $20 per year, depending on the number of years of registration.
A website is a live entity, and should not be
allowed to go stagnant. Styling and technologies change from year to year, and
old websites no longer attract attention. As required we can update the look of
your site to reflect current trends, or make use of new technologies to perfect
your websites ease of use.
Additionally we can :
|
Perform daily or weekly updates for those
websites whose contents or inventory change on a regular basis. |
|
Add or change contact information |
|
Add or replace newsletters |
|
Add special promotions |
|
Include seasonal messages |
There is no point
in having a website if you can't be found! This involves two areas of
consideration: What you can do, and what we can do
for you.
YOU
should ensure that all future advertising literature should clearly state your
new Domain Name. This includes all your business stationery, (letterhead,
business cards, invoices, envelopes, brochure covers) as well as printed advertisements, and
Radio or TV commercials. Additionally you could consider advertising your
website through Bumper Stickers, signage on your company vehicles, or on employee
uniforms and badges. The more often they see or hear your website name, the more
likely it is that a potential customer will remember it!
WE
will ensure while programming your website that it is "findable" on
the web through the following means:
|
"Keywords"
- these are words that may be typed into any Search Engine to help locate
your site, and should be very carefully selected. Many Search Engines use
these Keywords to locate sites that meet your search criteria. |
|
"Description" - a well-expressed Description
should be built-in to the non-visible programming language of your web
pages. Many Search
Engines use the Description to locate sites that meet your search criteria. |
|
"Title" - the name that appears
at the top of your "browser" screen should be explicit as well as
concise. Many Search Engines use the Title to locate sites that meet your
search criteria. |
|
"Textual
Content" - The
actual text on each page is important. It is not enough to have fancy
graphics and a beautifully designed logo unless the words on the page
describe what you do. Many Search Engines use the Textual Content to
locate sites that meet your search criteria. |
|
Search sites, such as Google, Yahoo etc., offer
various programs to aid your "findability" on the 'net. Contact us to learn
more about the current SEO (Search Engine Optimization) programs.
