Your FIRST stop on the Internet Highway!™

Welcome to maggiesworld.com. I would like to start off by thanking you for visiting  my website and  I'm sure your experience here  will be an interesting and educational one.

Whether you have a business or just want to create your own personal website the steps to take are the same.  

1. Consider a domain name. (ex www.maggiesworld.com ) This reflects what your website is about, either a business name or type of product or personal choice. I have learned from experience short and simple is better and more memorable.  Registration cost differs with registrants; maggiesworld.com offers one year for $20.00. (Multiple years maybe purchased at a discount rate.)  Check here  for availability.
   
   

2. Consider hosting. Hosting is offered by companies that have space on their servers to put all your files related to your website. This is necessary for the world to see your website. Cost for this differs with hosts and amount of space needed.  maggiesworld.com offers $12.50 a month on a yearly contract basis.
   
   

3. Now you are ready to create your website. You can do it yourself using programs or tools offered by various companies or you can hire a professional and concentrate on your business.   The type of website you create can vary with the product or reason for the site.  Possibly a simple, one page informational site is all you need. Others need a shopping cart and e-commerce site to fulfill their needs. All this is obtainable once you have outlined your needs.  Any web designer will counsel you to choose the right site for you.
   
   

4. You have created your website or had a professional do it. The  site is all done and you are pleased with it. Photos and email intact, graphics or music and information as you desired. Are you done?  NO!
   

   Search engine registration.   There are various ways you can have a search engine look at your site. Having someone knowledgeable in this field is the best way. Like tax laws, search engine rules change often - get someone who knows what they are doing. Link popularity. Link exchanges with other sites that you can honestly recommend is the most popular way to generate links to your site; search engines do register how many links to your site are offered from other sites, helping to determine how popular your site is. A very effective method for gaining new traffic to your site. Key Words. These are found within your code of your website and communicate with the search engines in how to find you. Any word or phrase  you think someone may type to find you on the Internet. Spelling or punctuation is not important. Sometimes spelling a familiar  word wrong will get you the connection you need - and possibly a sale. Meta Tag Generator will help you create these words for your website.

5. Promoting your site is a BIG priority. Although you have a website and everyone says it is the greatest, if no one knows how to find it or you don't tell anyone about it, no one will come.   Join groups. Use your email to communicate with others on the net and let them view your site.  Add your web address and email address to all your business cards, personal letterhead and even signs on your door or car or rent bus advertising space. Barter for advertising space if your funds are limited. But let the public locally and internet wide know you are open for business!
   
6. And remember, websites are like children - they need to be changed often to grow. Maintenance of your site IS A MUST.
