Get started.
It's best to have a design team of just 2-3 people (or less) because experience
shows that with more people involved the time taken to make decisions causes
significant delays in the project. Please send as much information as you can
about your practice/clinic. If you can fax any practice leaflets/brochures that
would be very useful. Please provide pictures by email in jpeg format (the
requirements for the photos would be as for taking any good picture, e.g. good
lighting etc.) and email information about your clinic so it can all be added to
the site. You will have to tell us what you wish to see on your site and
what you want it to be able to achieve. Please don't be afraid to ask questions.

A template for my site
We would recommend the following sites for picking your template. You can of
course look for others and we would have no objection to using other providers
as long as they provide a reasonable service. Please note that currently we are only
using templates that are compatible with Microsoft FrontPage.
-
PixelMill - A good range of templates for various health
professionals.
- ProThemes
- More medically orientated templates.
A Domain Name
if you already have a website name in mind please check whether it is
available at:
The site appear in a search engine like Google
There are various free ways of making your website appear high in the
listings of a search engine. We will build these into your site but its takes 1-
3 months for these effects to become noticeable. Some search engines do offer a
promotional service at a cost.
Security
Your site is password protected so no unauthorised person can access it to
change the details. If you wish to have an email address this will be both
unsecured for sending and receiving emails. It is usual practice to add a
disclaimer to the site to explain this to patients. Information placed in forms can be
delivered to an area on the server which will be secure or can be transmitted
via email. Obviously we will not give your password details out to any 3rd
party.
Updating websites
If you feel you website is looking tired or out of date please feel free to contact
us
regarding an update. If you already have a domain name this will have to be
transferred or the settings changed to be compatible with our hosting server.
A Domain Name
This is the "www." name that is typed into the your browser to find your site. Wether it ends .com
or .com.au or any other variation is your choice.
A Hosting Provider
All websites have to be "hosted" on a server which are generally provided by
companies rather than individuals. Essentially these computers are left
permanently on to broadcast you website to the world. From time to time it is
possible for these sites to go down but that is very unusual.
The site going to be ready
We would aim once we have received all your instructions to have you up and
running within 2 weeks. We don't offer this as a guarantee because requests for
changes can build in delays.
