Getting Started
GETTING STARTED
In today’s society websites are an essential tool for communication. From large cooperation to small mom-and-pop establishments, websites provide information about your organization to the world. Real Nice Sites works hard to provide a great web presence for its clients and we look forward to serving you.
SUGGEST A DOMAIN NAME
One of the first things to do to get started is to determine some options for your domain name. A few rules of thumb for selecting a domain name are as follows:
- Select a name that is easy to remember
- Select a name that relates to your business or organization
- Select a name that is easy for others to spell
In simple, select a name that makes sense. Remember, many names are already taken, so make a list of names that interest you and have your representative with Real Nice Sites do the research for you to see which are available.
CONSIDER THE AUDIENCE
Websites are designed with a target audience in mind. When thinking about your site, give consideration to the audience you would like to target. For example for a business website, the customer would be the target audience; for a church the members would be the target audience; for a school the students or the parents would be the target audience.
WEBSITE EXAMPLES
Review other industry specific websites. Identify what you like and what you do not like. Make notes of the domain name and some details.
SITE PAGES
Decide from a broad stroke what information you would like to include on your website. What pages would you like to see on your site? Examples include: Home, About Us, History, Products, Services, Contact Us, etc. Remember that most basic sites include about six pages although you are not limited to page restrictions.
IMAGES
It is said, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” With that in mind, decide what pictures and graphics you would like included on your site. What images will paint the picture that you would like portrayed to your clients?
QUESTIONS TO ANSWER
- What information would you like for a potential customer / visitor to your site to know about you?
- How do you differ from others that are doing the same thing as you?
- What services or products do you offer your clients?
- What are the events that are important for your clients?
- Outside of your site, how can someone get in touch with you?
- Do you currently use social media? Are you planning to use social media in the future?
- Are there other resources that you would like to provide to your clients / visitors to your site?
- Do you have any testimonials / recommendations from your clients / customers that you would like to share on your site?
- Do you have any certifications / special licensing that you would like to share?
- Do you have examples of your work that you would like to include?
- Do you have key people you would like to include? If so, do you have a bio on them?
