2. How do I get more people to visit my site?
After your site is complete, it should be registered with search engines. Keywords associated with your site's content should be compiled. These keywords will be embedded in the coding of your Web site, using what are called metatags. Many search engines use metatags to find your site.

3. How do I update my own Web site?

Another option is to have LaDue Design develop the tools that will enable you to add content to your site.

Common uses for these tools are updating contact info, calendars, news and product inventory maintenance.

4. How do I get started?
First, you will need to plan your content. Research your competitors online to understand what they are doing. Once you've decided what content you will want to have on your site, you will need to provide us with the text and concepts. Plan on being able to coordinate artwork, logos, photography and text. You¹ll need to choose a URL for your site, then register the domain name and find a place to host your site or ask your developer for suggestions. Most developers will be able to help in any of these areas, but the more assistance you require can effect the cost.
