It Only Takes 3 Easy Steps
to Place Your Business Online

Your web site/page address may be www.LavacaCounty.com/(yourcompany). This is free of charge. This may be any name as long as someone locally isn’t using that name.

- OR -

Your can get your very own Domain Name (suggested): A Domain Name is an easy-to-find doorway to your web site (www.LavacaCounty.com is the Domain Name for the Lavaca County Home Page). There are some fees for this route:

• A one-time registration fee of $35. The registration fee pays your Domain Name rights for 1 year, and $35 a year thereafter is billed to you directly by the InterNIC (the organization that oversees this area of the Internet).

Please note that no 2 people can have the same Domain Name on the Internet, so the name you have in mind may already be taken! Click here to see if your name is available.  Network Solutions terms this a "Whois" search.  With the explosion of the net, all of the good names are most likely gone.  If you have a name in mind - SECURE IT IMMEDIATELY - before someone else does!

Step 2: Design of a web page or web site for your business

WEB SITE CONSTRUCTION:

Step 3: Publishing your web page/site on the Internet

PUBLISHING INFORMATION: 

Placement of your web page/site on the World Wide Web,
accessible globally through the Internet:

After your web site is complete and you have decided a route to take for your web site address, the final step is to publish your web site to the Internet. Below is the pricing for monthly publication of your web page or site:

(This corresponds to the type of web page/site we constructed)

The above prices include unlimited hits to your web page (no throughput charges) unlike most other space on the Internet! There are also no setup or registration fees except for the optional Domain Name registration.

Updates to your web page/site:

Changes to your web page once it is published.   Please contact us for pricing information.

Benefits of using our services:

If you already have a web site but want the benefits of our services:

Do you currently have a Web Site already on the Internet somewhere and do not want the hassle of a new design or moving, yet you want complete local exposure through the Lavaca County Home Page and its local search engine? This deal is for you!

For a $25 design fee, we will construct you an "entry" web page. For $25 a month, we will list your company in our business directory and host your "entry" page. This page will contain a listing of all the products and services your company offers (for the local search engine) with a link to your present Web Site. Other advantages include a double listing in the search engines and double exposure of your online investment!

I want to design my own web site NEW

We allow you the option of designing your own web site for your business. This would save you the design costs. We do require when we host your site that you get a Domain Name if you will be the webmaster of your site. With your own Domain Name, you have complete control over your updates. We will even offer limited help with your venture through design tips, online strategies, listing your site in the Lavaca County Home Page as well as the major search engines. We can also scan your images and provide you with custom graphics or animations to incorporate into your web site. The cost of custom designed graphics and animations depends on complexity. If you have any questions, please e-mail us.

Internet Flyers

What is an Internet Flyer?

An Internet Flyer is just what it sounds like. A normal flyer for a public event would be posted at businesses or on bulletin boards... an Internet Flyer is a page on the World Wide Web that provides information about an event. This flyer is at work for you 24-hours a day, 7 days a week, with global potential!

Design of an Internet Flyer: $25 per page, or e-mail us with the information and what type of design you would like. If you are a non-profit organization, it may be free!

Publishing an Internet Flyer: $25 per month.

Your flyer will have a link in the Announcement section of the Lavaca County Home Page to ensure that it will be noticed, and yes, it is only $25 for a complete month. You can't beat this for the coverage you will receive.

We will still publish your community notice for free in the Announcement section, but having an Internet Flyer provides more in-depth information about your event.

To local people and businesses:

Your page will be placed on the World Wide Web and linked to the Lavaca County Home Page in the Business Directory. This page was designed primarily for local businesses and local information. Placing your business on the Lavaca County Home Page ensures that your business page will be viewed by your main customers (local people). Linked to the Lavaca County Home Page = exposure!

The search engine utilized on the Home Page will search the entire business directory within the Lavaca County Home Page. Your web page will specify any items and services your company offers. When customers search for that specific item or service, your page will appear in the search results. They will then go to your web page for more information.

We essentially advertise your web page for you at no extra charge by advertising the Lavaca County Home Page. The advertising we do to promote our home page will benefit your business or personal pages! The more coverage we receive, the more coverage your company receives! There is a link to the home page on every web page we design. If anyone looks at another of our web pages, they will have a convenient link back to the home page and to your business page!

Also, look around you and see the number of people moving here or who have weekend homes in this area. If they are new or live out of town, it is hard for them to find products or services specific to our local area. A web page in the Lavaca County Home Page business directory would ensure that your company is only a "search" away!

Why should your company have a web site on the Internet?

POSSIBLY FREE!

Check to see if the manufacturers of the products you sell offer co-op advertising. We can accommodate the specific guidelines in your web page design. Since your web page will be available to the world via the Internet, your manufacturers can see their sponsored ad in action.

DETAILED INFORMATION:

In a web site, you can provide in-depth explanations of the products and services your company offers. Some products or services may take an enormous amount of time in explanation over the phone. Incorporating them into your web site allows explicit information to be spelled out to potential or current customers. This would improve productivity and save you money in the long run. You may even want to show with pictures or graphics how a particular product is constructed. In other forms of advertising, the cost of color graphics or quality photographs would be prohibitive.

GLOBAL MARKET:

Internet advertising does not have time limits. It is a 24-hour a day, 7-day a week exposure to a global market. The largest advantage is that people are "online" at their convenience (this may be midnight or weekends) and your web page is at work for you at all times. Another advantage is electronic mail (e-mail). A potential customer can e-mail you at any time.

LARGEST PRESENTATION FOR THE SMALLEST INVESTMENT:

Look closely at the very affordable rates above. If someone told you that you could have not only local area coverage but global company exposure for as little as $25 for an entire month, wouldn't you jump on it? Compare these prices to advertising in the phone book or newspapers! Look at the estimated number of people who will have Internet access by the year 2000! Beat your competition to the punch!

COMPANY IMAGE IS IMPROVED:

Inform your customers that you have an Internet web site and watch their eyebrows rise! Print your web page address as well as your e-mail address on your business cards. This provides a means of customer contact at all times... nights and weekends. This also improves your customer service!

EQUALIZING THE PLAYING FIELD BETWEEN SMALL COMPANIES AND LARGE CORPORATIONS:

Small companies have a big advantage when it comes to Internet advertising. You can have a web page designed just as professionally as a large corporations. Also, small companies can usually beat large corporations to the customer. When individuals contact your company, they will e-mail you. Large corporations usually do not have the means to sift through all incoming e-mail per day, therefore leaving potential customers waiting.

A DIFFERENT CLIENTELE:

Online subscribers to the Internet pay a fee to their service provider to have access. These people normally have a disposable income.

HAVE A SPECIAL PRODUCT OR SERVICE THAT IS UNIQUE?

Let us construct a web site for you. Many people have made large amounts of money over the Internet by promoting products or services that are unique! Here's how it works. Your unique product or services are posted on the World Wide Web. Your customer base will then be a  global market, not just a specific local area. Your product or service may not even be popular in your local community, but somewhere in the world, it can be a "home run"!
