Overview
There are a number of pieces to the puzzle, when putting together a website. You'll find literally thousands of companies, each offering dozens of services. All of this is clearly overwhelming for the average small business owner. Below, are the basic steps.
Step 1
You need to choose a domain (website) name. There are hundreds of thousands of names that already exist, and there can be no duplicates on the web. So, yours must be unique, and it must be registered with ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). But, we'll handle registration for you.
Step 2
Your site must be designed, built, and then published to a computer that is connected to the Internet and registered to a DNS (Domain Name Service) server. This is the most intensive (and costly) aspect of getting your business online. But, here again, Galileo Storms will provide all that you need.
Step 3
Your website must also be capable of supporting a variety of email services. For example, you'll want addresses like sales@mynewsite.com, or j.doe@mynewsite.net. Choosing the types of services, creating user accounts on the server, and setting up your client email software correctly, are all critically important tasks. But, we'll do all of the ''server side' stuff for you. The rest is easy.
Step 4
If you plan to sell goods or services on the web, the choices are endless. And navigating a sea of terms like Merchant Accounts, Merchant Gateways, Payment Processing, Shopping Carts, Secure Transactions, and so on, is sure to make your head spin. But, you can trust Galileo Storms to put it all together for you, and to make it all relatively painless.
