High View Web Design provides website design and development for small to medium sized business. Our goal is to provide you and your business with a website that best meets your needs.
Web Design
Initial Setup
- The first one is the name of your website. Like your business your website has to have a name. Usually it’s the name of your business. So the name of the website is called domain name, and is purchased annually. The price of a domain name varies, depending of the extension that you’d like your domain name to have(i.e. .com, .net, .info etc), depending on where you purchase the domain name end whether you’d like your domain name to be private or not.
- The second item on your list should be the physical location where your website will reside. That is a server somewhere in the vast network of servers. You can get such a space through a hosting provider. I can help you choose a hosting provider that is right for you, depending on how complex your site will be. The hosting is paid monthly or annually, directly to the hosting provider. If you don’t want to deal with this entire infrastructure, I can take care of it for you. I strongly recommend SiteGround for hosting!
