Getting started:
Another thing to be discussed during the first meeting is the domain name. Every website needs a domain name such as www.yourbusiness.com.
If you do not already have a domain name, it will be your assignment to come up with a few ideas. Try to come up with a few variations of what you want since the first idea you have may already be in use. This can be an overwhelming task and I can help if needed. Here is a site to help with the process.
Here are a few websites that can help you with the process of choosing a domain name:
- 15 Best Domain Name Generators.
- How to choose a domain name for your website
- REdesigns.org Choosing domain names
Domain name prices vary but typically cost around $10 per year. This will be one of your yearly expenses.
After this first meeting, the web designer will take the information you provide during the first meeting and generate the basic website layout, or wireframe model, of the preliminary website design.
