Do I need a Web site?

Every business needs a Web site. Without one your competitors have an advantage. Web sites and email are rapidly replacing the Yellow Pages and the telephone as the preferred method of finding and/or contacting businesses.

What do I need to do to get a web site?

Firstly, contact us. We can give advice and assistance. Generally you will require someone like us to create a web page for you, or you can create one for yourself. Then you will need someone to make you site available on the Internet. This service is referred to as Web Hosting. Some Internet Service Providers will include this as part of their service. As with most things, you get what you pay for. The better sites are usually hosted by specialised hosting services.

Can I register a domain name e.g.. www.jenson.com.au?

If you have a registered business name then you can register a .com.au domain name using that business name. Some other domain types such as .org, .net and .edu do not require a business name. Also, it is currently possible to register a .com (rather than a .com.au) which does not require a business name but this is likely to change in the near future. For more information, visit Internet Names Worldwide or Internet Name Group.

Do I need to have a computer?

No, but it is recommended. If you want to send or receive email or take advantage of other Internet services, you will need your own computer.

Can Jenson Technology create a site with fancy graphics?

Yes if that is your requirement. Generally the most effective business sites are those which get to the point. These generally keep graphics to a minimum. Also, graphics generally take longer to load than text. Someone who has a slow connection may give up before receiving the message you are trying to convey. Graphics such as this one break the monotony and attract attention, but they should be related to the topic of the site. They can also create atmosphere but this should not be at the expense of performance.

What about Email?

It is possible to send and receive email without having your own web site. Most ISPs as well as some portal providers (e.g.. hotmail, yahoo, ninemsn) provide email accounts. For a business, it always gives a better impression if your email is addressed to someone@yourcompany.com.au.

Can I get more than one email?

Yes, if you have a web site with them, your ISP or Web Hoster will generally provide for multiple email recipients. Generally, the more you are paying for your web hosting the more email accounts you will have.
