Re: I Need help with setting up a website ?? Jan 2, 2009 7:17 PM

If you like D-sign and create, talk to Al about domain and hosting. He can get all that set up, and very cheap rates. He's been in the biz since .com started and know where to go for quality and afforadability on anything. Also, he'll stick with you; build a solid relationship. So if you ever have hosting problems, email trouble, etc, you can call him and he'll work out the bugs if you're not sure what to do. And he wont charge you for evey call like that. He's a solutions guy, and has the spirit of helping others.
Later on, as your bar grows, or changes genre, or want to add stream videos and photos of your events, (whatever) he'll continue to work with you on your website, and build it, change the look, what ever you want.
My uncle made the mistake of getting a template site for his business. My uncle is somewhat technically challenged, and you need to know some comuper language to work with templates. He bought a very nice template, but my uncle is always calling my husband for help. And because Al did not create his site, he does not have all the files to quickly work on it. Al could have built the same site, without a template, and cheaper, and then would have the ability to help him make changes quickly, without having to get together one-on-one with my uncles computer with all the files.
if you decide to get a template, stick with the company to build it also, or get a designer to build it- that is, if you don't know computer language/programming well enough. it could be a very expensive mistake. maintaining a relationship with your web designer is important, because websites are dynamic, and ever changing.
