Your Own Domain Name

I recommend that you go to Blue Domino, register your domain name and select the "Express" hosting service. For only $7.95/month you get more than you need for an average web site.

Your very own web site can be on the Internet within 24 hours.

They will provide you with the information that you need to upload your web pages to your web site.

You can design your own web site or you can ask me to do it for you.

If you have visited the sites that I support then you have an idea of the services that I can provide.

I can design your site with code that you can understand so that you don't need to be a programmer to update your own pages.

Your exposure on the Internet has nothing to do with where you have your site.
You can have your site on any service in the world and it will still be "yoursite.com".

The amount of hits your site gets depends on three things.
• 1. Content... Is it interesting and is there a reason for people to keep coming back.
• 2. Do you promote your site? Business cards, letterheads, and all your communications.
• 3. Search Engines, There are over 5000 of them and you need to regularly submit your site to them to maintain a position in their listings so that your site can be easily found.

Keep a copy of your web pages on your computer.
You can view your site with your browser "off-line" on your computer to check the effect of any changes that you make to the files.
Download from the Internet an "FTP" program of your choice. One is "WSFTPLE.EXE" or "WSFTP32.EXE" from download.com.
With this program and the information provided by your hosting service, you can transfer your files from your computer to your Web Site.

That's where I come in. I can design your site for you.
I will keep the code as simple as possible. This will make it easier for you to find and modify the information that you wish to update.
I have a number of clients with little or no knowledge of HTML programming and they are able to continually update the information on their sites.
A good example is the Ocean County Calendar of Events at oceancountygov.com/events
