Why do I need a Web
site?
The Internet is having a profound effect on the economy, the world of communications,
and the way business is conducted on a daily basis. This computer-based
worldwide information network enables people to communicate and share resources
more effectively and inexpensively than ever before. Can you afford not
to take advantage of such a powerful business tool?
How will a Web site help my
business?
A Web site will keep your business competitive and efficient. A Web site
can help your business expand to reach millions of new customers in the
global marketplace and increasingly to a growing number of local customers and to respond quickly and efficiently to their changing
needs. EMI will help you build a Web site with the latest upgrades
and online marketing techniques to increase your business on the Internet.
Have you created sites for
businesses like mine?
We have built Web sites for companies that have varied levels
of Web site experience; we offer everything from starter Web sites to Web
site marketing services and e-commerce. Let our professionals cut through
the confusion of Web site development and provide a clear, understandable
path to a reliable Web site for your business.
How much will it cost to create
a Web site?
We offer a variety of packages tailored to fit the needs of any growing
business.
What special skills or knowledge
do I need?
None. When you sign up for a full-service site from EMI, you're
getting a complete solution to all your Web site needs. We'll listen to
you to find out what you want, and then we'll create a site tailored to
meet your business goals. In addition, we'll take care of the registration,
programming, and hosting of your site.
What special software or hardware
do I have to buy?
None. EMI will handle all of the software and hardware needs of
your Web site. Hosting and URL registration are also covered by our full-service
packages.
Can I get an e-mail account?
When you sign up for a Web site, you will receive several e-mail accounts
for your business.
How do I name my site?
The ideal name would be a name that your customers already associate with
you, such as your business name. If your company's name is ABC Signs, Inc.,
you could register the domain name abcsigns.com. If your business name is
not available, think of variations you can use. Then, submit your ideas
to us, and we'll check the availability.
Do I need a domain name?
Any business can benefit from having a custom domain name, but for an e-commerce
site, a domain name is crucial. Similar to a phone
number, a domain name gives your business a unique identity on the Internet,
making it easy for visitors to find and remember your Web site.
What if I already have a
domain name?
No problem! We'll be glad to transfer your existing domain name to your
new Web site.
Can I use your services if
I already have a Web site?
Yes. If your present site is not effective, we'll help you bring it up to
speed. The Internet marketplace is quickly becoming crowded, so an average
Web site is not good enough. To rise above your competition, you'll have
to be different. With our expertise, you'll have the advantage
of a great-looking Web site with simple-to-use navigation. We can help you
offer unique content, pricing schemes, and selections, making your products
and services more valuable to your customers.
Can I use your services if
I'm in another country?
Yes. Our merchant partner allows you to conduct transactions globally.
