What are the main parts of a website?
These are the basic building blocks.
This is an oversimplification, but gives you the big picture ideas.
Every website needs a domain name and a place to live. Just like taxes, you have to have them, but you may not want to deal with them yourself.
What's your site going to look like? What will your users think when they visit?
Turning the Design into a real website. Depending on your needs, this could be super simple, crazy complicated, or most likely somewhere in between.
What information do you want to show the world? Figuring this part out should be your top priority.
What is Leglise Systems?
Born out of two decades of web experience, Leglise Systems is here to help get your website off the ground.
We specialize in handling the Infrastructure so you don't have to sweat the details.
We can also help with the Design and Development, but we're just as happy to collaborate with other teams to get your project finished beautifully.
What do you mean by "Infrastructure"?
There's quite a few pieces that go into making a website available to the world. The basics are the same for everyone, but many people get bored, lost, or confused when they try to figure it out on their own. They want this stuff to just work and that's where we come in.
The name of your business! The web address you tell people about. It has to be paid for yearly. If you're late, someone else could snatch it away from you! We make sure that never happens.
Ultimately, a website is a bunch of files that look like something in your web browser. Those files need a place to live, where other people can see them, that stays open 24/7. Your home computer is not the place for this.
You may have started with coolcoffee@aol.com, but a professional business needs a professional email. There's plenty of ways to be theboss@coolcoffee.com, and we can make it happen for you.
Don't make a rookie mistake and let evil-doers into your website. We go the extra mile to keep the bad guys out.
You could write HTML yourself, or you can get a major head-start by using web application software like Wordpress or Spree Commerce. We'll handle the setup, so you can focus on the Content.
What if your website goes down? Don't let a customer be the first to tell you there's a problem. We use multiple sophisticated systems to ensure your website stays online and alert our team the moment an issue arises.
This all sounds complicated. How do I figure out what I really need?
That's what we're best at. If you're not sure where to start, let's talk. We'll ask about your ideas, goals, and budget. Then we'll point you in the right direction to make your project a success. Very often, we refer you to other specific companies and we don't charge you a dime!
I hired an agency. Can't they just handle everything for me?
Let's say you've hired an agency to Design and Develop your shiny new website. After spending months of work (and thousands of your dollars) they produce something beautiful and launch it on their own systems. Celebration!
Now a year goes by, and you want to make some changes to the site. You call up the agency, but their prices have gone up exponentially! You decide you'd be better off having someone else handle the changes, but wait! What if the old agency won't let anyone in? If they control the domain name and the hosting, they can force you to use their services. Even if you have a contract, you could have to deal with a lengthy and expensive legal battle to regain control of your own website.
Sound far fetched? The Internet is filled with true horror stories just like that.
Marc handled one just like it, saving that non-profit organization thousands of dollars.
That's where Leglise Systems comes in.
Our mission is to help keep your website alive and in your control.
For some clients, that means we handle every piece. For others, we simply manage the domain name. We give you the freedom and flexibility to change your mind about who should be running your website. If you decide to switch providers, we'll help you with the process, even if that means moving away from us! We're here to honestly and ethically make your life easier.
