Basic Step 1: Domain Name
• First, you need a domain
name. That's the .com or .net that is used
to find your site on the internet. Your internet address.
•The name you choose has to be registered to make sure no
two names are the same. The registrar charges a small fee
for keeping up with this information.
•Your domain name is free with a design package from Lodestar
Designs.

Once we have
an idea about the needs of your particular business,
and receive all your materials (images, ad copy, audio/video
files), we design your site. Creative designs will catch
the potential customer's eye. Your website's ease-of-use
will keep them there and help turn them into customers.
