The Web Design Process
An overview of what is involved with creating a web site and what you can do to maximize the impact of your site. We'll focus on the following:
The first thing you need to do is to decide on what you want your domain name to be. When choosing a domain name there are a few things that you'll want to bear in mind.
1. The name should be easy to remember and truly represent who you are and what you do. International domains (.com) do not need to be exactly the same as your business name and International domains (.com) do not require you to have a business registered in that name.
2. Australian domains (.com.au) DO REQUIRE an ABN and that the domain name be the same as (or as close as possible) to the actual business name in which the ABN is registered.
3. Domains are actually leased, we never actually own them.
Domain fees are as follows:
International Domains (.com, .net): $10 every year.
Australian Domains (.com.au): $40 every 2 years.

1. How long will it take to get my web site up and running?
1. Of course it will ultimately depend on how much content you wish to publish. However, confidence is high that a 7-10 page web site that has all the images and text and layout concept worked out can be online in 5 days. 11-20 page sites can be online within 1 week to 2 weeks.
