How to get your business on-line?
Getting your business on-line is easy! The following steps will take you there:
Develop concept
Decide what the purpose of your site will be. What function
will the website have? What do you want to communicate? Start
drawing a basic structure for the site. Decide whether you want
to sell products or just provide general information. Choose a
name for your site (domain name) and determine your budget.
