One-Page Websites Can Provide You All You Need!

Having a web presence, of "some" kind is crucial to the on-going success of today's businesses. A single webpage or two can be enough to make a huge difference! A website's size is simply a result of the website's planned or actual use ... a single page might be all that you need to get the job done!

This past week I have created two single page websites and one two page website for clients. Each of these sites can easily be expanded as the need arises, but for now they simply make each businesses major facts available on-line. This may not seem like a big deal but look at what has happened to each business with just a page ...

  • 24 Hour/ 7 Day Presence
  • Referrals Have More Reasons to Call
  • lPDF Order Form For 24 Hour Sales
  • Location & Driving Directions
  • Prospects Can Shop Them Easily
  • Equally or More Competitive
  • Visibility Expanded
  • A Place To Gather E-mail Addresses
  • Higher Level of Professionalism

The cost ? Today's Way pricing would begin at $200 for the most basic of single page websites that is custom designed.. This would of course include loading the page onto a hosting server and assisting you with acquiring your domain name. You can begin at even a lower cost if you use a template service of some kind.

What is a domain name? This is your www.xyz.com address! You lease it from a any of a variety of sources for a minimum of one year to as long as you desire. The cost varies from source to source. I have seen it as low as eight dollars a year. There are also periodic deals where providers of domain names will include them at no cost if you choose their company to host your webpage.

What is hosting? The pages of a website need to placed on the internet so that they may be accessed by visitors. The companies that have the computers that do this are called hosting companies. They also include other services such as:

  • Domain E-mail Addresses,
    joe_smith@xyzcompany.com
  • Webmail - World Wide Access to Email
    Capability of retrieving your emails from the web as well as on your computer.
  • Web Statistics - Tracking Visitors To Your Webpages
  • Other services vary per company.
