Website Planning Guide

Planning a new website doesn't have to be complicated. At Central Tech Design, we'll guide you through the entire process from start to finish, making it easy to get your business online. Follow these five simple steps to begin.

Step 1: Choose a Domain Name

Your domain name is your website's address on the internet. While it doesn't have to match your business name exactly, it should reflect your products, services, or brand.

When choosing a domain name:

If you're having trouble deciding, ask friends and family for suggestions or make a list of words related to your business and combine them into potential domain names.

Step 2: Register Your Domain Name

Once you've selected a domain name, you'll need to register it through a domain registrar.

 Central Tech Design is a GoDaddy reseller because of their reliability, extensive product offerings, and excellent support. Domain registration typically starts at approximately $18.99 per year.  If you already own a domain name, you may leave it with your current registrar or transfer it to GoDaddy through Central Tech Design.

Special Savings: Customers who register their domain and hosting through Central Tech Design receive our discounted web development rate of $50 per hour instead of our standard $60 per hour rate.

Step 3: Purchase Website Hosting

Website hosting is the service that makes your website available online.

We recommend purchasing hosting at the same time you register your domain name. Hosting plans through our GoDaddy reseller program typically start at approximately $9.99 per month. Plans that include an SSL certificate for enhanced website security generally start at approximately $15.99 per month.

Your hosting account and domain registration will be managed through the same account for convenience.

Step 4: Website Design & Development

Our basic business website package starts at $600 and includes:

This package is based on approximately 12 hours of development time at our discounted rate of $50 per hour for customers using our GoDaddy reseller services.For customers using a different registrar or hosting provider, our standard development rate of $60 per hour applies.
