Ohh Snapp Photography

admin — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 00:30:15 +0000

Very rarely do I recommend black but this customer has a photography website and black certainly sets off her beautiful images.

The site has just been redesigned using wordpress and the customer has had a lot of fun once the theme was customized adding her own content and images.

Usually I do not endorse a certain content management system but wordpress is the exception. The program can be used by a novice or an experienced web designer and seems to have no limitations. With each site I design I optimize the site for keywords and manually submit you website and sitemap to the search engines.

Scenic Drops

admin — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 00:22:52 +0000

Scenic Drops is in the midst of a full redesign using wordpress. WordPress is one of the most popular content management and blog publishing applications available on the web today.

Once the site is up and running you can login and add content, images, photo galleries etc. There seems to be no limitations to wordpress as they have thousands of plugins including ecommerce solutions and pretty well anything else you can think of. Over the past few months I have converted most of my customers sites using wordpress and a phone call explaining the dashboard has them well on their way.

Scenic Drops has a customized theme. Should you want a wordpress site up an running the cost would be approximately $400.00 and once Yorkton Hosting has your content you can be up and running within days. As I administer all the domains and do my own hosting there is very little waiting time.

admin — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 00:02:03 +0000

Putting my website together was so easy with Darlene & Ellyn. Everything was done by e-mail and in a matter of a few days. Once it was ready and up on-line, I was able to make changes and improvements just as easily. I think this is the best return on investment for any web-site I’ve had to develop.

Shawn

Dear Darlene,

I want to thank you for making my life so much easier. I love my website. My clients have only positive comments. 5 years ago when ever I needed a change on my website I would have to contact my web designer. If they understood what I wanted, it would take several days. There always seemed to be corrections and then I would have to pay them way too much for their services.

Now I can log on and change my content, add photos or delete whatever I want in minutes from my home computer. The setup of my website was simple the price was right and I have not had any problems since I have complete control. Thank you so much. I have and will recommend your services to my friends, clients and co-workers.

I wish you all the best. Thanks again.

About Yorkton Hosting & Design

admin — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:02:26 +0000

Yorkton Hosting / BytesRUs is owned by Janssen Digital Imaging and operated by Darlene Janssen in Melville, Saskatchewan, Canada. Through the power of the Internet and email Yorkton Hosting is able to design your website wherever you are located. The advantage of having your site designed by a home based business is cost, due to low overhead Yorkton Hosting is able to keep costs down and we pass this saving on directly to our customers.

I began my Internet adventure in Kamloops, BC in 1999 with my first online venture being Imagination Market. A full online ecommerce enabled shopping site marketing products from Artisans and Crafters across Canada. In 1999 it was very difficult to have products listed in Canadian dollars, this was definately a challenge. Due to time constraints and preferring web design I closed Imagination Market in 2008.

I work mostly with open source code. Open source code is written by programmers around the world all contributing to excellent programs which are free to use though not always simple to implement.

In 2000 I branched out into web design sporting our web design experience at YorktonHosting.com. View our online portfolio for examples of sites we have designed using Adobe GoLive for html design and open source content management systems for web site owners to control their own content working online in an Internet Broswer, while keeping the actual design flowing through the site.

Find My Home on the Web

How to Find My Home on the Web

Steps to Finding Your Home on the Web

Domain Name – your Internet Address

Consider the domain name you would like, provide Yorkton Hosting & Web Design with a few suggestions and I will search for availablity and purchase your domain name for you, or check for different domain names by using our domain name checker in the left menu, purchase your own or provide the names to Yorkton Hosting and Web Design and we will register them for you.

It is important that you retain control over your own domain name as many bulk domain name suppliers do not leave this option open to you. Here at Yorkton Hosting your domain is your domain, should you wish to transfer or cancel your service it is not a problem. If you would prefer to register your own domain name, the DNS information you will need is:

ns315.websitewelcome.com
ns316.websitewelcome.com

Design and Colour Preferences

Search for some websites you like the colour, layout, menu, etc. and send me the links so I have an idea of what you are looking for. From there we will decide which content management system suits your needs, websites price vary depending on whether you want a custom template for your content management system or a pre-designed template customized for your requirements. Yorkton Hosting has an hourly rate of $25 per hour. Yorkton Hosting is able to keep my rates low as I work from my home and do not have the over-head expenses of larger companies. Once your site is designed you will have an annual cost of $25 for your domain name and $10 per month, charged annually for hosting.

Content Management Systems

I Utilize the newest applications allowing you to keep current with trends as well as have a web site online using a secure content management system. I design the look and add your content, with your input, and you add additional content at your leisure.

Shown on this site is the Joomla content management system which is suitable for more advanced users. I also use CMSimple XH which, as it name says, is a simple content management system with the ability to generate new pages on the fly, adds a contact form and a sitemap, all you need to do is change the content when needed. Should you require different programs to generate your web site, for example a blog, that is not a problem, I am always willing to take on a new challenge.

The advantage to content management systems rather than static HTML sites is the content doesn’t get stale, you can update your site daily, weekly, make a few changes, all with an easy to log in editor. The html design remains the same throughout the site while you are able to log in through an internet browser from any computer and add text, images, new pages, downloads etc. This makes an excellent choice for anyone who would like a professional website without the monthly costs of a web designer. Content remains fresh and the site is fun to maintain.

Should you require a larger site with a membership base, forums etc. I recommend Joomla 2.5. For the Blogger and now a simple content management sytem I suggest Word Press.

These programs are open source so there is no costs associated with the actual software, though I do encourage reqular updates of the software to keep the sites running secure and hack free.

Manual Search Engine Submission

Some say ‘Build it and they will come’ this is not true, I will manually submit your site to the major search engines as what is the point of having a website if no one ever visits. From manual submission to the search engines to sitemaps in HTML and XML, I will look after your search engine marketing.

Link Building

It is important to have some quality links to your site and resources for your visitors from your site. I am able to do this or should you wish to do this yourself, I provide you with suggestions for your link building resources.

As you can see web design does not only include the design of a website, it is important to consider all aspects for an affordable web package. Contact Yorkton Hosting today for your free and affordable quote…
