Well, it's quite simple really!
In brief, we secure a Domain Name that uniquely identifies your business, determine
your web requirements, design and develop the website and setup email accounts. After the
signing of a rental agreement we launch your website onto the Internet. You choose the length of
the rental and we do the rest!
Now, in detail, here's what we do for you...
- Secure a unique Domain Name
In consultation with you, we find and register, on your behalf, a Domain Name
that uniquely matches your business name. Sometimes the domain name you'd like may not
be available, whether it be due to Domain Name naming rules or simply because the name has already
been taken. Now, you may be thinking "how can my name be taken?". Well consider this, our
company name is Edgetech. However we had to opt for a domain name of Edge-Tech as another
organisation, perhaps named Edge Turf & Lawn Technologies, registered the name, that
perfectly matched our company name, first.
If your first choice for a Domain Name is not available we work with you to secure the
next best available name.
- Identify a package that suites your needs
A website needs to fit now and grow with you over the years. Your needs today will almost
certainly differ to your needs in the future. Today, you may only need a focal point to tell
the world what you do and how to contact you, while tomorrow you may require the website for
the purpose of online purchasing. To this end we have designed 3 packages to choose from that
will start you on your way. In addtion to the packages is our custom design service in which
we can build a purpose built website now or in the future.
Our 3 packages/plans are; Bronze, Silver and Platinum.
The basic package, Bronze, provides
a Brochure style website detailing who you are, what you do and how you can be contacted.
It includes your own domain name, upto 10 email addresses (unlimited Alias email addresses) and
upto 8 webpages all linked/accessable from the home page and a hit counter.
The Silver package is suitable for those
businesses that wish to showcase their products and options available to their
customers. It includes all features of the Bronze package plus upto 20 Email addresses and upto
15 webpages, again all linke/accessable from the main home page.
The Platinum package is more suitable
for the businesses that wishes to not only showcase their products and options available to their
customers but to also use the website as the focal point of prices and specials. It includes all
the features of the Silver package plus upto 40 Email addresses, upto 25 webpages. In addition, this
package provides online maintenance of a database containing information displayed throughout the
website.
In addition to our packages we also offer a time & materials serivce to custom design, develop,
employ and maintain your website. Please contact us for a free, no obligation quote.
- Design & Develop Your Website
Over the years we have developed a reasonable number of webpages, from the basic to the more
sophisticated. Our initial consultation will flesh out roughly how your website will look, and then
using templates developed from past projects, we put together a demonstration of your website
for your approval.
Please note, the cost of designing or replicating your logo into a suitable form for usage
on a website is not included.
- Setup Email Accounts for you and your staff
Regardless which package/option you choose, we setup and maintain Email boxes free of charge. As part
of the service we will add, modify and/or delete email addresses for the life of the rental. In addtion
we will also maintain email alias' and to whom they are redirected to, again free of charge for the life
of the rental.
A simply email or fax detailing the request and it would usually be applied within 24 hours.
- Organise Hosting of your website
Your website and all of the associated programs, pictures, database, etc must reside on
a computer linked to the internet, which is commonly known as a Host. We organise hosting of
your website for the period of the rental agreement all inclusive of the weekly rental.
- Launch/employ the website onto the World Wide Web
All development of your website is done off-line. After all up-front fees have been paid and
we've secured a Domain Name on your behalf, we setup the 'Comming Soon' message on your site
along with details on how to contact you while your website is being developed.
Then, on an mutually agreed date, we remove the 'Coming Soon' message and go live with your website.
- Maintain the Website
After 'Go Live' day we monitor your website daily to ensure minimal down time. As part of your rental
fee we also make minor detail corrections such as change of address, phone numbers, staff names, etc.
