Website Management
When constructing webpages, DDC aim to give each site the maximum potential in fast, reliable and user friendly sites.
A webpage must be optimised for quick access, have coding that allows the highest search engine ranking possible,
be interactive and functional, but most importantly, be an accurate representation of the business, products and services available.
Most users will spend less than ten seconds at a page that does not catch their eye while providing the information they are seeking
instantly.
For this reason, your website must be visually interesting while pushing the main focus onto relevant topics and areas of user interest.
How do I get a website?
Having a webiste involves three key points: Domain Name, Web Hosting and Website design and development.
Domain Name
A domain name is a globally recognised address that directs a users browser to your site. www.yoursite.com, once registered can be
directed to any webspace you desire and becomes part of the global directory. Your domain name will ultimately be directed to your web hosting service via domain
name serving at the hosting level and will be directed on your behalf once you purchase a web hosting plan.
Your domain name must be unique, you can not register a domain name that is already in use.
We provide your domain name registration free with all of our design plans.
Web Hosting
A web host takes your domain name and allocates a space on their web server, then points your domain name to that space.
DDC use fast, secure and reliable web servers to host your site and ensure 99.9% uptime and extremely reliable customer support.
Once you have purchased a domain name & space, DDC will begin construction of your website and start the interactive
development process with a basic frame work and set about making the design changes you require to insure you are completly
satisfied with the results. Through consultation with our clients we develop a strong understanding of exactly what needs to be
provided in the website and what direction to take it in.
