time4somethingelse.com huh? whaddya mean a "website"...?We have all been luddites at one time, (ok, maybe we haven't all put a hammer through a computer, but metaphorically speaking...)so we'll take a minute here to help illustrate exactly what a website is, how it works and why you need someone who knows what they're doing to design it for you. Think of a the internet as a map of the world. easy. ok... now think of your website address (url, www.you.com, etc) as your street address on that map of the world... also easy. your website is like your house at that address, and your host is like the land that the house sits on. the xtras that we talk about are like the fancy things in and around your house like ride'em lawnmowers, moonlights and hardwood laminate flooring. on your lot, you can have a shanty, a bungalow, a sprawling rancher, a split-level executive, a 20-room mansion or an apartment block... it's up to you... depends completely on your budget. at somethingelse you won't need to get a 2nd mortgage to buy your "cyber house". you can add on the xtras anytime - or never. the grass doesn't need tending. you can completely ignore your neighbours if you want to. you can paint it any number of zany colours and no one can report you. it's a little piece of heaven. so...does that help clarify what it is?great! then the next question is why do you need it?you need it to keep up with the joneses, that's why. and to be honest, that's the only reason why, in our opinion. because if the guy next door is doing the same thing as you are, and he's got a global marketplace and you don't... But WHAT do you need?if you're not sure WHAT you need, we're happy to offer 1/2 hour FREE consulting to help you determine where to start with your online presence. We'll can guide you when deciding on offline complements to your website, because they are VERY important. And getting your word out is the vital link in the chain, because face it... if nobody knows you're out there, why would they think to look for you? |
Just starting in the world of online business? You want to start on the right foot, with a cleanly designed, functional, useful website. We can help you with that.
No longer excited and proud to give people your URL? Perhaps a little embarassed by your 1997 pixelly animated gif's and drop shadowed everything? We can help by injecting you with a pick-me-up quick reno project - something as simple as a new, cooler nav bar, or updated header graphics can make a huge difference to a simple site. Ask how we can update your site today!
A website is a great option for a one-person show - your website can become your publicity manager, your receptionist and your mail room clerk. Now you're a four-person operation! We used to offer templates for these but we just couldn't stand looking at most of them... so now we simply offer custom designed sites, scaled down in scope to fit your limited budget. We employ a lot of open source software (free) to help us accomplish more for less.
If you built your site yourself - and you're not a web designer - you may want to consider having us fine tune your site for you... check your coding, work out any bugs, update/streamline your design or site structure.
If you bought a template from somewhere and don't know what to do with it... we can help with that too.
