How to get a web site up and running even if you don't know the first thing about web sites

A web site, for purposes of this very simple discussion, is simply a collection of "pages", which say what you want your site to say. We will summarize first the few steps involved in getting a web site up and running, and then discuss in simple terms your options for each step.

Summary of the steps involved in creating a web site

Step 1. Arrange for the web site to be stored on a web server.

Generally the most expensive part of having a web site is paying someone to provide a home for your web site on their web server. Emmes Technologies' has a beginners' plan having one of the lowest rates for this service (only $6/month). We hope this exceeding low rate will encourage you to contact us immediately. We will "hold your hand", an Americanism meaning we will assist you diligently, and get you up and functioning in only a few days.

Some ISPs ( Internet Service Providers) provide free web hosting if your website is only a few pages; If you hire Emmes Technologies to design your web site, we will help you look into this possibility as well.

Step 2. Design and create the web-site pages.

Emmes Technologies will help you design and create your web pages. You need only pay for the time it takes at our low hourly rate for web-site design of $25/hour. A simple web site usually takes less than five hours.

Step 3. Download the web-site pages to the webserver.

Emmes Technologies charges only $20 to do this.

Step 4. Consider if you need to have your own domain name.

If you want your site be accessed as something like www.mychosenname.com you need to arrange for two things.

Emmes Technologies charges $15/year for these services. These services are included free for one year when you sign up to store your web site on our server.

The domain name you want must not have been taken previously by someone else.
