Member You - So You Want To Have A Website
The overwhelming disparity in riches between third world countries and the more developed nations has never been more poignant that in today’s modern society. While the technology exists, in the form of rapid strides in nanotechnology, its access is limited to and concentrated on the more affluent power brokers of the world.The innovative strides in nanotechnology have the potential control poverty, eliminate hunger, and provide safer and cleaner water for the poor as well as providing a ready cure for tropical diseases in those areas where human suffering is the hallmark of existence.But, will this technology ever reach those who need it the most? This is the burning q

Hosting
Web hosting is the service that makes a website available to others on the internet. Simply put, you are renting a place to hold your website. Once your website is built your domain name is transferred to your web hosting provider.
Your web designer will upload all the files that are developed for your website to a server (host). The server gives you a specific amount of disc space and allows your website to be a
Size matters. Or, at least, that is what the big players like to think. Here in Ireland, we have been more aware than most that size is relative. More than most too, we have taken sides when the little streets have hurled themselves against the great. Unlike the Swiss, we don't do neutral terribly well. Almost always, our sympathies are with the small player, the one who is outweighed and outgunned, and we take more than a little pleasure at the prospect of seeing the lumbering giant brought to earth with a crash. But such an outcome is by no means inevitable. The playing field is littered with the bodies of the diminutive and the gallant and for every David who stands triumphant ov
You are not alone
The majority of my clients know they need a website but they feel overwhelmed and intimidated by internet technology and why not? Internet technology is continually evolving and changing. What is true this month may not be true next month.
Where do I start?
Domain Name
The first thing you need to know is what a domain name is and how to register it. Domain names are used in URLs to identify particular websites. For example:
http://www.artistadesign.com
The whole address you see above is the URL of my business but the domain name is ArtistaDesign.com. The only way to register and start using a domain name is to use the services of a domain name registrar.
The registrar you choose will determine the cost for registering a domain name. You can expect to pay a yearly fee. The website I use is http://www.godaddy.com they have competitive prices and it is easy to transfer your domain name to any server – web hosting service you choose to host your site.
In picking your domain name make sure it is the name of your business or something related to your business. Once you have a domain name registered it is exclusively yours nobody else can have it unless you don’t renew it.
Now What?
Website Development
Once you have registered your domain name it is time to seriously think about building your website. You have two choices: outsource it or do it yourself.
Let me tell you my bias. For nearly all businesses and non-profits I recommend outsourcing the initial web design. Many small businesses attempt to design their own website or to hire someone merely on the basis of cost. Both of these options carry potential consequences.
Having a poorly performing ineffective website is worse than not having one at all. A true professional knows what is needed to make a website a success. There are many types of websites and each business will have a different goal in mind. A professional website developer can help you understand what your needs are and put you on the path to success.

To be successful in the search engines it's important to design your web site with the spiders in mind. Using the latest in web page design is not generally the best way to go. Spiders don't view web pages like humans do, they must read the HTML in the page to see what it's about. Below you will find tips on how to best design your web site with search engines in mind.Do not use frames at all. Some search engines cannot spider web pages with frames at all. For the other search engines that can, they can have problems spidering it and sometimes they too can't index the web page. Do not only use image's to link out. You should always use text links to link out to important conten

Do you know exactly how your employees feel when Monday morning approaches?Are they eager to get back to a satisfying workplace and to perform important tasks?Or, do they sit home Sunday night dreading another week of unimportant work performed for an ogre of a boss?The truth is probably somewhere in between; but without actual knowledge of the facts, it’s hard to improve anything.The ideal workplace provides employees with empowerment and direction when needed, but shies away from unnecessary micro-management. Employees feel they are contributing to meaningful goals in a significant way. The ideal workplace offers compensation and benefits that meet the n

If your job search is dragging on and on, you might want to look in the mirror. Because the person looking back may be sabotaging your efforts.Do you make the following mistakes in your job search? If so, stop now. And start getting more calls for job interviews.Mistake #1) Not Following UpIf you fire off resumes without checking to see if employers get them, and fail to keep in touch until a hiring decision is made, your dream job might go to someone less qualified, but more persistent than you.Here's how one of my clients, Mike M. from Boston, followed up right. And got a great new job."After going to about 20 interviews, I found that following up

Your web designer will upload all the files that are developed for your website to a server (host). The server gives you a specific amount of disc space and allows your website to be accessed by internet users. Web hosting is billed by the month or by the year.
It is very important to find a reliable hosting company for your website you want to be up 24/7 with out any complications. The level of web hosting also depends on the complexity of your website. Your web designer will be able to point you in the right direction.
There are many good hosting companies one of my favorites is http://www.canaca.com they are reliable and give you a good range of choices and options best of all they are reasonably priced.
I think I am ready!
Not yet, it is important to set up professional e-mail addresses. If you have picked a good internet hosting company you should be able to have your e-mails set up – or set them up yourself. It is totally unprofessional for a business to use a free internet e-mail such as AOL or yahoo. You want your business to look legitimate and credibility is of utmost important especially when your business is internet based.
Example:My email is pamela@artistdesign.com that is much more impressive than pamela@yahoo.com . When ever I get an email from a business that has a generic address I get the impression they are not very internet savvy.
Ready Set Go!
Marketing
This is where the action takes place. If you just build your website and park it in cyberspace what do you think will happen? NOTHING…
I can’t tell you how many times I have heard, “I have a website but it hasn’t helped my business at all!” Well what would happen if you rented a store filled it with beautiful object for people to buy and just set there? NOTHING…
The same is true for the internet. You must market your website. Traditional marketing is great – add internet marketing and you have a recipe for great success. There is much more to marketing your site than putting the proper key words and sending your site to search engines.
Make sure your URL is on every piece of marketing material you have IE: business cards, ads, banners, flyers, brochures etc.
Have a free online newsletter filled with informative information.
Send out press releases announcing your busin
