How it Works
Do I need a website?
How will a website suit my business?
I think a website can successfully represent almost any business. We can
discuss the pros and cons so you can make an informed decision.
Do I need to rewrite/design my current site?
Websites can be static and
successfully support your goals. However they need to be updated from
time to time with a change in content and or design. I don't believe in
a finished document or website. They are finished at a chosen
point in time but documents are "living"; in other words they are always
subject to change, updates and refinements.

If you have no site you'll need a
domain name and hosting. First the name; a name the same or
close to your business name is preferable. Check
