Although large companies often spend thousands of dollars creating unique branded websites, many companies don't have huge budgets to have their own websites. We offer two options, an affordable site plan that includes domain name research, domain name registration, a three page website and FREE hosting, and a mini site on one or more of our websites. This does not involve having your own domain but it can still look the same as having your own site. For example if you own a restaurant your ad on our Food Guide will link to a page that looks like it's your own website. .

With your own site you want your domain name to reflect your business, preferably be a Top Level Domain, like dot com and not be too long. As of the end of last year there are now 360 domain name types registered. Dot com is still the most popular but others are growing rapidly now. Unless you are the owner of a registered trademark you can’t include any of the words in your domain name. The more common your business name is the more likely that it has already been registered. Top Level Domains are the hardest to get because almost every trademark and every generic brand name has already been taken. Think how many BobsPlumbing there are. If we can’t get any version of a TLD for a dot com there are thousands of extensions available, such as dot info, dot website and many more. They aren’t as common but once you have the domain name and market it people will bookmark your site.

The basic package includes a basic three page website – a landing page or home page, an about us page and a contact page.

Depending on the type of business you are and whether you sell products of provide service we research a number of free design templates and submit those to you to see what you like. Once you’ve decided on a theme template you provide the information, such as your logo, contact information, social media links and photos. We then design your site based on the information you provided. Please don’t submit any copyrighted materials unless they belong to you.

In addition to the basic site design we can also work with you to design features that are only limited by your imagination. There are very affordable premium themes available, most less than a hundred dollars. There are now more than ten thousand plugins that add every conceivable feature to your website. We work on an hourly basis at less than half what most designers are charging, mostly because we’ve been doing this for thirty years and we know our stuff.
