At Flamin’ Fig, web design is dear to our hearts so we feel the need to help you out with website basics 101, thus assisting your success online…
THE COMPONENTS OF A WEBSITE
To most people a website is just a number of pages (representing a word document) with links connecting them all together but this can’t be further from the truth! To top it off most websites now are pre-fabricated boxes stacked on top of one another with no life, just structure and copious amounts of animation! Websites without a targeted audience and a brand or psychological strategy behind them are just pages on the web that ultimately frustrate the unaware website owner and users of them.
Before a website even gets built there is a lot of research and understanding that goes into what needs to be presented to engage the targeted audience. With this knowledge and the understanding of what a website is, how to construct it, how to give it life and how to magnetise the ones you want to engage, you can see that a website becomes an online strategy converting potential clients to a faithful “wanting” tribe.
This is what we do at Flamin’ Fig when we create your Theme Kit Template. It has an end-purpose and the beautiful thing is that you can still tweak or further fine-tune it to make it completely yours and be on-brand. We also help and give you a foundational understanding of how to get your website in front of your ideal client through giving what search engines wants via your website’s SEO.
DOMAIN NAME
HOSTING & SSL
The concept of a domain name is best explained through the following analogy… You have a block of land but before you bought the land it was registered and was given a number in a named street. The block number can exist without anything being built on the land much as a domain name can exist without a website. It’s there but there’s nothing to see yet.
In other words, your domain name is like the address of your property. It’s how people know where to come for a visit.
When purchasing a domain name you purchase it from a registrar which complies to ???? When purchasing a domain name you don’t take ownership of it but you can rent it for as long as you want to. If you allow your domain name to lapse on renewal it goes back to the open-market where anybody else will be able to rent it.
You can have several domain names, but the most important thing is try to purchase a domain name that supports your personal brand or business name.
To continue with the analogy, the property itself represents hosting. A house is built on the property much as a website is built on the hosting platform.
Like your domain name, your hosting package is renting space on the internet where eventually your website will sit . A host is made up of hundreds of server-boxes (or data-centres) connected to the web 24/7, 365 days of the year. The data-centre can be situated anywhere in the world; ours is situated in Australia.
An important part of hosting is keeping your data safe and especially the data your customers pass on to you for communications or sales. That’s why we also supply an SSL Certificate which securely encrypts any communication from your website to you, plus it also prevents the major search engines like Google demoting your website’s ranking which is a given nowadays - part of their policy now.
