Web Site Content - What Do I Put On My Site?

That would depend on the goals of your web site. If you run a business website you would include as much information about your products or services that your customers would need to purchase from you.

What domain name should I choose?

This depends on how you are going to use it. If you are going to be telling people over the phone, choose one that is easy to say and spell out loud. Above all, I would choose one that is memorable and not confusing.

Can you register my domain name for me?

I would prefer not to. Your domain name is your address in cyberspace, and often it is the only way someone knows to contact you. It is important that you keep good track of it and keep your contact information updated on your domain record so that nothing happens to it. I always recommend that people have full control and knowledge of how to administer their domain name, just to be safe.

There are a number of domain registrars on the internet that can offer you competitive prices, such as www.khancommunication.com.

Does my business need a website?

Ask yourself, "Does my business need 24-hour exposure 7 days a week, 365 days a year?"   The answer is obvious.  What other medium allows you to expose all the benefits of your small business to your target market at their convenience and provide a source of direct correspondence from them to you? The benefits of a website are innumerable.

How many pages do I need?

This all depends on how much content you have. Every business website should have an 'About Us' page (or something similarly titled) to tell your visitors about your business. After that, it depends on what type of business you have. A good rule of thumb is to not overwhelm your audience with too much information on each page. Disperse the information and break it up into digestible pages and paragraphs. Long pages of text tend to overwhelm the reader.  Break content up to truly get your audience's attention.
