The Design

• Chose a web designer with a visual imagination.

• You should have the feeling that the designer is creating for you and your product or services and not for his/her personal taste.

• If your marketing plan is understood by both you and the designer, then your site will be unique.

• Your customers can "search" your site.

• You may "link" your site to other useful information on the web.

• Make regular changes to your site which will keep your customers returning.

Internet Service Provider (ISP)

• An ISP is necessary to "host" the site.

• An ISP you can communicate with is recommended to maintain personal communication.

• Your designer will create a list of email addresses for your site and the ISP will direct those to any of your email addresses.

• Your designer will create a "key word" list in HTML

• Your designer will also create a "description" in HTML

Cautions

• You may wish to use "forms" for responses from your website to avoid misuse of your email address.

• It is very important to publish a disclaimer and/or terms of use to protect the user and also your domain from misunderstandings.

• You should frequently check links which you have on your website. You have no control over these external websites, but you can check them to protect yourself and your users.
