No, there is no need for you to leave your computer to establish a web site.
All communication can be conducted via e-mail or post depending on how you wish to submit
your web content e.g. via attachments over the net or by post.
This can be done to two ways:
-
The preferred method is to submit the text via disc [in the post] or by an attachment to
an e-mail over the internet. The text should be typed in MS Word or another text formatted
medium readable on PC. This method is preferred because it is fast and reduces the need for typing and thus
errors.
-
Typed manuscript, by post or fax. This method is not preferred
because of the increased margin for errors due to retyping and proof reading. Large
amounts of text my incur added typing fees.
'Work in progress' will be visible over the internet via your own web
address. We give you a password or backdoor entrance to view the site as it is being
created before it is open to the public. Or we can e-mail you progress sites, or post samples to you on disc.
We can work with any host of your choice, but we can also recommend great value
and rapid support web hosting.
We can easily suggest types and styles of sites for you once we have established your
requirements. Or if you have seen a site on the net you like, we can design your site
along a similar theme. Remember, you can always change your mind and make alterations as
your site progresses.
The fees quoted are all inclusive and cover, web site
design, creation and submission to the internet address of your choice.
Extra costs may occur if :
-
clients request more than that offered within their chosen package or original individual quotation.
-
excessive amounts of typing is required.
-
excessive scanning and picture editing is required.
However, all additional costs will be detailed to the client for their approval prior to
any work taking place.
PLEASE NOTE: We do NOT include costs payable directly by the client, to
Domain Name Registry Agencies and/or ISP's for web hosting facilities if
required. Clients need to pay for these services direct, although we will
arrange it all for you if you wish at no extra cost.
What are keywords, and why do I need them?
As you may or may not know search engines on the internet use 'Keywords'
on the index [first page] of your website to list, rank and display your site to visitors.
The words that you and everyone else type into search engines are 'Keywords'. The search
engines then search to internet for websites for MATCHING keywords before retrieving them
and displaying them on your screen.
So it is very important that your site has keywords and that they mirror what you think people
will type into search engines to find your services.

Where are the keywords placed on my site?
They are placed on your index page of your website [within the normally hidden 'html'
written by
your webmaster]. You can view the keywords used on your site in the following
way. Bring your index or first page of your website up on the internet. This
is often your 'welcome page' or 'home page'. Then click on the 'view' option from the top
of your browser and select 'source'. This will bring up a separate window with a large
number of text called 'html'. This is the actual computer code used to write that
particular page. Within the <Head> section at the top of this page you should find a 'Meta
Tag' called 'Keywords' followed by all the actual keywords used for your website.
This means of course, that you can generally see the keywords used on other sites, which
can be very helpful when you are trying to decide on your own keywords.

How do I optimize my chosen keywords to maximize their effect?
-
You can use programs on the internet to check how many time each month certain keywords
were
used. 'Overture', is one example and can be accessed via our website
here.
Simply enter a word to check how often it was used last month and it will also reveal
suggested additions or terms you can use as alternatives or extras. These other
suggestions may rate a lot higher than your chosen word or term.
-
Check other sites on the net which are similar or even competitors to yours. By viewing
the 'source' code of their index page [as described above] you should be able to view
their keywords which may assist you.
If you would like to add to, or change your keywords, simply email your selection to
info@stevelomas.com and we will have the changes
made within 24 hours.

What are search engines and why do I need to register with them?
Search engines are
huge databases that contain information about Millions of web pages located on the
Internet. Yahoo ( www.yahoo.com ), Google (
www.google.com ), Excite (
www.excite.com ) are the
examples of such search engines.
By using a search engine, anybody can quickly and easily find a web site with the
information needed. So ask yourself, "Can Internet users find my site when they need my
information or service?" By registering your site with the search engines, this will allow
people to easily locate your site!
