Getting Down to Basics

Welcome to the World Wide Web!

An exciting medium for exchanging information and reaching customers, the Web is an incredibly useful tool for business when used properly. If you are considering a Web presence but are unsure where to begin, QSWB can help. Offering professional website consultation, hosting and design services, QSWB delivers practical and cost-effective solutions for businesses and organizations.

A virtual extension of your business, your website should reflect the goals, personality and mission of your existing operation. And, (to be effective) your website should accomplish this in a fast loading, attractive, concise and easy-to-navigate manner. So, whether the focus of your website is to create awareness, generate new customers or provide a service to existing customers, QSWB can tailor a website to meet your individual criteria.

It's as Easy as A, B, C

Three basic concepts to a website... domain name, hosting and content.

A - Domain Name

Your domain name is the "address" for your site, such as www.whitehouse.gov. When choosing a domain name make sure it is one that will be easy to remember (not too long or too short) and one that is readily identifiable with your business. It is also a good idea to select a domain name independent of a host provider so that no matter where or who hosts your site, the address will remain the same. For only $25, QSWB can help you select your domain name and register it with InterNIC, the organization responsible for making sure all domain names are unique.

B - Hosting

Hosting is a service offered by a host provider. A host provider houses the content for your website and makes it available to users on the Internet 24 hours a day, seven days a week. QSWB has hosting plans that are simple and straightforward with no surprises and no hidden costs. And, because our client base is small by design (QSWB only hosts wholesome, honest and respectable websites), QSWB is able to offer you a greater value for your hosting dollar. In addition to enjoying QSWB's variety of services, our clients can reach us by phone almost anytime with their questions or concerns.

C - Content

Assembling the content portion of a website is perhaps the biggest obstacle in building a professional website. As previously mentioned, your website should contain a snapshot of the goals, personality and mission of your existing operation. QSWB can assist you with editing, copywriting and design services. Our professionals can mold your content into a concise, easy-to-read format, helping you say what you want to say in a fashion appropriate for your business or target audience. QSWB can work with your existing graphics or help you create new ones. As always, QSWB will ensure your website is designed to be user-friendly as well as attractive. Easy navigation, quick downloads and conservative linking enhances the user experience when customers visit your business on the Web.
