SITE TERMS AND INFORMATION |
|
WEBSITE |
A digital content
(images and text) that can be downloaded to any browser in the world. |
DOMAIN
NAME |
Your
domain name is an address that lets browsers (like Internet Explorer)
know where your site is located (hosted). You can pay for it one
or more years and it will be yours as long as you keep up the payment.
Any lapse in payment can lead to loss of domain name. Getting a domain
name is called "registering" a domain. |
HOSTING |
A "host" sells space on their
remote computer for your
site content. Your
site will be on a server (computer) at this company and when a browser
(like Internet Explorer) looks for your domain name, it is sent to that
server then downloaded in their computer for viewing. The cost of hosting
is affected by site size and the amount of traffic. |
SITE
CONTENT |
You provide the content for your site. It is the images, text, and graphics that make up your site. The format and size of each of these affect the cost of making a site. If images are sized properly (I will tell you the size) and the text is in the correct form (I will let you know the format), it takes me less time to make a page or pages. You must assist in editing by reviewing pages that I make and approving the content. Any errors that I make will be corrected at no cost. Site description (what you are doing) and keywords (art, fine art, painting, etc) are provided by you and will be in what are called meta-tags, invisible to the viewer, but seen by robot search programs. The meta-tags affect your listing and rank in directories. |
ADVERTISING |
A
website is not an advertisement. It has
to be advertised. You have to promote it by letting others know about
it. It is unlikely anyone will stumble across your site looking at the
billions of sites on the internet. |
