Planning and Building Your Web Site
A web site is the most cost effective way of advertising your business and reaching your audience web site AUDIENCE is made up of the people that will visit your site. Whether they hear about it from you or search you out on the web - your audience can be small and local or international and vast. Many businesses use a web site to replace costly printing and distribution of leaflets saving thousands of dollars a year. Your web site is both an online brochure, working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and also a means of communication with your customers who can contact you directly via e-mail.

We can work from hand written copy or pencil drawings and sketches if you don't have any printed material or leaflets. If you don't have a logo we can design one for you. You do not need to own a personal computer to have a web site. 

You can change your site content as much and as often as you want. Minor changes can be e-mailed or faxed to us for immediate attention. Additions to your site can be made as often as you wish, according to your site maintenance plan.

How big should my web site be?
Your business, no matter the size, can be big on the World Wide Web. You are in a new medium, where communication is no longer sold by the column inch. Trinity Web Designs has created and currently maintains successful web sites for organizations of all sizes — from small start-up business to family sites and larger commercial sites for area businesses.

Your goals, and your clients' needs, determine the proper size for your site. A catalog site, for instance, or a customer-support site can have scores of pages, while a basic but still highly effective business site can have as few as four.

Any site designed to interest and inform the public should have at least the following pages: a welcome page (usually called a "home" or "index" page); a services or products page; a clients and partners page; and a contact page that includes information about the people who make your business work. Each of these pages is necessary because your potential clients want the same chance online that they have in your store or office: the chance to walk in, look around, and get the feel of the place and the people who run it.

A family or personal site is quite a bit more flexible. At minimum you will need a welcome page. After that, the size of your site will depend on your audienceYour web site AUDIENCE is made up of the people that will visit your site. Whether they hear about it from you or search you out on the web - your audience can be small and local or international and vast. and what you would like to share. You might like to include a photo gallery, a calendar of events, a news and information page, a hobby page, a work page, children/family artwork, a guestbook, games and stories, your favorite linksYour FAVORITE LINKS is a list of web site addresses that contains places on the internet that you like to visit. .

The pages in your site are highly individual and can be tailored to fit all your business or personal needs!
