Why do I need a web page?
The cost to place an add in the yellow pages is between $100 and $300 a month.
Radio is between $1000 and $20,000 per month.
Bulk Mailer to your town is between $3,000 and $10,000.
TV will cost you anywhere from $5,000 to hundreds of thousands per month.
Your web page is a one time fee that advertises to your customers 24/7. It never sleeps or takes breaks,
it never stops reaching hundreds, even thousands of people every day. You are not wasting money
advertising to people that aren't listening or don't care.
Learn What You Want
It always helps both you and the designer if you do a little homework to get a feel for what
direction you'd like your web site to follow. Writing down your initial ideas and spending
some time looking through the web sites of your competitors is a very good start. Then ask yourself
what do you like that they do? What sort of changes or improvements would you like to see on your
web site?
Decide on Your Goals
From your research and thought, you should have some idea of the purpose of
your web site, and its place within your business. When you talk to a web
design firm, you will be better of with some goals
in mind other than just getting a web site.
