A Starter web site is just a couple of pages describing your company. Think of it as an online extended business card. It probably includes a summary of:

• What you do or offer, including the most common keywords or phrases that described your business, so people using s Search engine can find you.
• Where you are, or operate. If your service extends to that small village a couple of miles away, mention it, so that if someone searches for your business type in Littletown, they'll find you.
• Contact information: phone, fax, and email. You may not be around at 2am, but an email could be waiting for you first thing in the morning.
• A couple of images, remember, a picture is worth a thousand words, and looks good.
• Your own web address (domain)
• Email address based on your domain, which can be either (a) redirected to your current email address (b) Accessed with your email software (c) Accessed via "Webmail" using your Browser.
