Our major goal at K-Image is to provide you with a website that you can be proud to call your own. To help you get from here to there with a minimum of hassle and confusion, we're happy to provide you with a variety of other services to see your project through to completion. And if for some reason we can't help you with your needs, we'll help you find someone who can.
You need three basic things for a professional website, in the following order:
- The Domain Name: www.yourbusinessname.com, for example. A good domain name is important for users of your site. People will find your site more easily, and return to your site more often if you have a good domain name.
- The Hosting Company: A third-party company that puts your site on their servers, allowing potential customers from all over the world to view your pages. Choosing the right hosting company can be risky and time-consuming.
- The Website: Essentially, this consists of a set of pages, with a coherent (hopefully!) design telling people about your business. Incoherent or poorly designed sites reflect clearly on your business, which is why it's important to have this done professionally.*
*Some people choose to have their company websites designed by their niece/nephew/cousin/kid/neighborhood geek, because they know how to use FrontPage or Word. Is this definitely a bad decision? No. Is it usually a bad decision? Well, yes. There's much more to producing a quality website than technical know-how. You also must have design ability. The designer must know how to produce clear navigation, accessibility measures for disabled viewers, and much more. This will be virtually impossible for an untrained individual to accomplish.
Our ultimate business is to help you with the actual website. The way we see it, though, you can't arrive at a final product without putting some work in along the way. Most people don't need the extra hassles of choosing a good hosting company, or figuring out domain registration. That's why we offer a complete service. Web development is our business, and we can make it easy for you. Having said that, we also realize that all customers are different. You might wish to be more involved in the process, and we welcome your input.
There are many areas that we can help you with your site. For example, graphics can make a huge impact on any presentation, and we know how important it is to get it right. We can work from snapshots, logos, or other images that you might want to display on your webpage, or we can even take the pictures for you if you're reasonably near the Frankfort area--or if you have a thriving business in say, Hawaii and want to pay our travel expenses, we'll be happy to take some pictures for you.
We can also offer a wide variety of interesting statistics about your website's visitors. For example, you may be able to find out how many visitors you had, when they were there, which page they arrived at most frequently, which page they left by, the most and least requested pages, which browser they were using, errors received, and screen resolution they were using, to name a few. This information can help you target your audience better, and provide your customers with more of what they want and less of what they don't.
