April 2007 Summary
Mary Lewis of Marydesigns gave us some insight into the world of the internet. Your website is your ticket to the future of commerce! The internet will be essential to future shoppers and researchers. We learned that everyone in the business of web designs brings a little something different to their client. Mary gives you the right to own her work product. Website costs vary greatly, depending on content and complexity. $500 is about the minimum cost, and an average cost is more like $2350. Changes can increase costs. And recurring costs for a hosting service approximate $120 per year, for a domain name approximate up to $35 per year. Get a domain name you want ASAP, and get many permutations of the name, the suffixes (.net, etc.) and even negatives of the name. This helps you prevent others from associating themselves with your success.
