What do you need for a website... ?

Very Basic:

Computer: Although recommended, it is not necessary for you to have a computer but it is necessary for those wishing to view your site. 

ISP: an Internet Service Provider is how you connect to the Internet.
This ISP will also provide you with an email address to communicate by electronic mail (email).  (note: Hosting at http://www.MomansonWebHosting.com with Momanson Co. will provide you with email addresses)

Domain Name: This is www.yourname.com; your address or home page on the Internet.  Momanson Co. will register your domain name for you and set the specific DNS for your site.


Host: An Internet presence provider. This is where your website is stored for the world to view. Momanson Company can provide hosting and domain name registration with each website we design.

Website Design: You'll need all the codes, computer language, scripts and graphics which, when put together, formulate your website into a viewable form for the world to see. At Momanson Co. we do all this for you.

FTP: File Transfer Protocol to transfer information to and from your website for updates, repair, edits and changes. This is how web designers communicate with your domain at the host.

Maintenance: Updates, additions, changes, and most importantly, search engine analysis and submission of the pages that make up your website. At Momanson we offer these services at reasonable rates or included free with some packages.

What is E-commerce ... ?

The Internet has changed the way business is done with literally billions of dollars being made over the Internet. E-commerce merely  means Electronic Commerce. E-commerce gives you the ability to accept payment for your product immediately over the Internet, by either credit card or electronic checks.
With an E-commerce shopping cart function on your website, you can sell products or services instantly to anyone in the world without having to constantly monitor your website. Momanson offers the very best and easy to use shopping cart checkout function for your site. 
We use open source software called OSCommerce.

How does Momanson design my website ... ?

Steps to a functional website:

  1. Momanson Co. determines your exact goals for the website. ie. if you are selling a tangible product your goal will be a site that includes your product listings, pictures, descriptions, prices and shipping information in an on-line catalog. A website for the consumer to view, gather information about and then purchase your products on-line (e-commerce). We also determine how your  site will fit with your current marketing strategy.
    These facts are formulated into a design layout specific to your business strategy.
     
  2. Then our design team works with you to create a visual layout (flowchart) of how the site will appear on the screen. This can be as simple as being drawn out by you on a piece of paper, sending us a descriptive file attachment or showing us another website that looks like what you want.  Momanson Company can suggest any additional functions to make your site more useful.  Now we have completed the basic outline of your site.
     
  3.  Next we look at the navigation structure of the site; mapping the flow of information and actions from the consumers' point of view.  We want to be sure potential customers can easily navigate from the entry point through to the main content pages and all other pages within the site. To do this we combine all information in Step 2 (marketing strategies, e-commerce, and visual layout) to complete the final website design plan. Momanson, thru 1DomainSource.com, registers your domain name, activates your host account, codes the pages and implements any other functions necessary to make your website functional. We test all components of the site. Then we submit the draft site for you to view and approve. If any additions or adaptations are necessary, they are made at this point. The site is re-tested and then re-submitted for your final approval. Next, the site is uploaded to the server and tested again.
     
  4.  Finally, when we are sure your site is in perfect order, we submit it to the basic search engines and/or directories.  We offer additional, optional, SEO  marketing for a reasonable fee.

Can you redesign my old site... ?

Yes, times change and public taste changes.  The website design that worked for you last year may not be generating as much business today.  Momanson Company can redesign your existing site quickly, and for less money, than building one from scratch. Send us your existing site's URL (Web address) and a general idea of what you'd like to do, and we'll be glad to give you a free estimate. Or fill out our Customer Form.
