I need a website. Where do I begin?

Start with a discussion with your web designer. Describe what you want a website to do for you and let macrogirl help you determine how to achieve that goal. macrogirl will help you purchase a domain name, if you don’t already have one, and offer you a single low price for design and hosting.

What is website hosting and why do I have to pay for it?

Your website must reside somewhere on the World Wide Web. You are renting space on a server and receiving support for those times you need it. With this comes almost unlimited email accounts.

How much does web design cost?

A basic 4-5 page website costs $400. That includes design, hosting, maintenance, email accounts for one year. Follow the links on portfolio and write to any of macrogirl’s satisfied customers for a recommendation.

How do I get information to my web designer?

Email. Send macrogirl pictures and text via attachment. Picture files should end with the extension .jpg. If emailing pictures is beyond your talents, drop them in the US mail and let macrogirl scan them and mail them back to you. Text can be sent in the body of an email or as a Word or WordPerfect attachment.

Can I sell a product from my website?

Yes! If you’re selling only a few items, macrogirl can help you set up PayPal so you can offer secure payment to your customers. Need an on-line storefront? Set up a virtual store with credit card support. Ask about pricing.

How do I get search engines to list my site?

macrogirl includes invisible META-tags on each page of your site so that search engines such as Google can find you. You can access webstats to track your web visitors and tailor your content accordingly.

Ready to begin? macrogirl will send you a contract detailing prices and how to proceed.
