 Website Hosting

 To enable someone to advertise their services or extend their existing marketing

 literature through a website it is necessary to invest in " buying" a domain..

 The "domain" can be called any thing you like as long as it is not already owned

 by someone else. e.g. www.mydomain.com or www.thisismine.fr

 Once your domain is established it is practical to enhance the service through

 "personalised email" with email addresses that embrace the domain.

 e.g joepublic@mydomain.com.

 Note: There is no reference to an internet provider within the email address.

 Many organisations provide "hosting" services and can, through powerful servers,

 present your domain, website and related email to the internet "24/7/52"

 Gers IT Services can help you choose an appropriate domain name for your web

 site and related email and then register it for you. Very quickly afterwards we can

 organise a hosting service that relates to budget and the services you require

 from your domain.

 Basic Web Site Design Principles

 The main considerations when designing a quality website.

  It should be aesthetically pleasing and not too cluttered

  Animated graphics look impressive but can sometimes blur the focus of what you

  want to present

  Navigation is simple and intuitive. Nothing is worse than searching through a mass

  of information to discover how to jump to the next page

  It should compliment any other literature you use or intend to develop including

  business cards, brochures and advertising flyers

  It must respond very quickly to the users web browser, including internet browsers

  connected by slower dial up systems

  It should include easy to use, "click and submit" client contact forms

  It needs to sit high in the rankings of the most prominent search engines

  Gers IT provide the complete website service, from simple one page web to multi

  page sites backed up by flexible maintenance and updating plans

  Website Design (The plan)

  Stage 1

  Tell us about your business, what it does and how you would like potential clients

  to see it. Have you any ideas on the appearance, layout, colours

  Do you already have a logo ?

  Together we can produce preliminary "on paper" templates identifying such things

  as background colours, banners, photographs, and text content

  Stage 2

  Your domain name agreed and the register of domain names checked for

  uniqueness

  Your domain name is registered

  Stage 3

  The first draft is built and offered for your comments, amendments and approval

  Stage 4

  Any fine tuning is implemented

  Appropriate host is discussed and agreed

  Stage 5

  Your site is completed and published with the hosting provider

  What is a domain ?

   A domain name is an identification label to define a realm of administrative

   autonomy, authority, or control in the Internet, based on the Domain Name

   System (DNS).

  Domain names are used in various networking contexts and application-specific

  naming and addressing purposes. A prominent example are the top-level Internet

  domains (TLDs) com, net and org. Below these top-level domains in the DNS

  hierarchy are the second-level and third-level domain names that are open for

  reservation and registration by end-users that wish to connect local area

  networks to the Internet, run web sites, or create other publicly accessible Internet

  resources. The registration of these domain names is usually administered by

  domain name registrars who sell their services to the public

  An important purpose of domain names is to provide easily recognizable and

  memorizable names to numerically addressed Internet resources. This abstraction

  allows any resource (e.g., website) to be moved to a different physical location in

  the address topology of the network, globally or locally in an intranet. Such a

  move usually requires changing the IP address of a resource and the

  corresponding translation of this IP address to and from its domain name
