Getting Started
Know what you want
The single most important thing you need is to know what kind of web site you want. The following guide will help you identify what type of site you need.
| Personal | If you want a site that allows you to put up pictures, links, and blogs then you are looking for a personal site. |
| Brochureware | This type of site introduces your company, products, services, and contact information to your potential customers. |
| eCommerce | eCommerce stands for Electronic Commerce. If you want to be able to sell items or services on your site, you will need to have a site built for eCommerce. For this type of site, the developers will create a Content Management System (CMS) for you to manage your inventory. A shopping cart application will be installed onto your site which will allow users to add items for checkout.
We will help you select a merchant gateway for processing your credit card payments. Just let us know that you want an eCommerce site and Flame Media customize it for you to meet your business needs. |
| Community | If you want to create an online community where users can post messages on a forum, then what you are looking for is a community site. We will install your choice of forum applications and configure everything for your site. |
| Social Networks | If you want to have your own social network like MySpace™, then what you are looking for is a Social Networking site. To create a social networking site from scratch will take significant amount of resources and time. There are prepackaged social networking scripts available if you wish to buy an out of the box solution. |
