Absolutely Kristin
One thing I had to do as a must was visit lots of websites to find what I
liked, colours, styles, graphics and what information I wanted to go out there
for pregnant coupes to find. Also to be able to climb your way up the Google
ladder it is important to know what information goes on that front page so that
you are easily found.
For example on my website the amount of times HypnoBirthing or calmbirth is
mentioned on that front page is very important. It helps to climb your way up
that ladder. It has taken 3 years to go from page 3 on Google to page 1. I was
continually told it takes patience, patience, patience, a big lesson for me
*grin*.
There are lots of ideas out there and what Kelly says is good info too. Gather
the information and then decide what you want to do.

Thanks Diane - some great advice there, I shall follow it up and check out
your website. I have seen a few others that I like the style of and suppose
the 'style' can be replicated?

Hi Kristin
The first thing you have to do is register your domain address. I did it
with Anchor Systems Ltd
http://www.anchor.com.au which costs me $65 for 2 years. When I asked them
why they were so cheap they told me because they don't rip you off. I have had
a registration with them for 3 years now and there was no probs renewing it.
You can also register through Telstra etc. Just shop around because they all
vary in price depending on the company BUT they all do the same thing so more
expensive is not necessarily better.
You have to decide what it is you want in a website and whether you want to
sell on it or just an info site. I've found that the selling on there can gert
quite complicated so decided not to do it. Mine was done with a friend in
Oklahoma but I also had another one designed with Gary Hegedus here in
Melbourne who also filmed a DVD for me and it won't be up and running for a few
months yet as I am still gathering information for him. He was really easy to
deal with and lots of good ideas.
His website is www.ghproductions.com.au so check it out. He charges $500 to
do a website including graphics as long as it isn't a 300 page website. He does
them pretty quickly and has had a lot of years of experience wthin the media
industries. Such a bargain and a really nice guy. I highly recommend him and
that's important these days with so many around.

Speaking of our independent services... My next adventure is setting up a
website. Whose got one and can anyone give me a ballpark figure at how much
this is going to cost me, and how long the process can take? Thanks.
