F.A.Q. & Knowledge Base

You're a business owner and you know a lot about what you do. But when it comes to websites, all you really know is that you need one. Where do you start? Here is a simple explaination of what a website is made of and what you need to achieve it.

Think of a website like a house.

1. Domain - is the name of your website, for example www.myawesomesite.com

Domains are like LAND. You can't have a house without land to put it on right?

2. Web Development - this is the plumbing, construction, etc that goes into your website. If your website isn't built, "up to code," then Google and other search engines will ignore your website and your site will not show up when potential customers search for services you offer. It's really important to have a website that is built properly.

3. Web Design - this is the interior decorator equivelant of a website. Contrary to what many people think, visual does matter. When you walk into a Doctor office that is cluttered or bare and dark, hard to move around or unclear where to check in, you feel a little nervous. But a brightly lit, spacious layout with clean comforting colors and designs plus a well structured layout with signage indicating where to go - puts you at ease. The same goes for websites. A potential customer will become frustrated with a poorly constructed layout or be wary of a non-professional design. Studies have shown website visitors first impressions of a business is based on their website. Furthermore, Google demotes website ranking based on poor designs. So don't dismiss visual appeal. You may think you can just have a barn or shack equivalent of a website, but you still need design to succeed.

4. Web Hosting - so you have a domain, web development and design but just like you can't power your decorated, lovely house on your land without paying your utility bills... you also can't power a website without hosting. Hosting is basically paying your utility bill.

When you view your website like a house with land, building codes, interior design and utilities - it seems a lot easier to understand.
