The four easy steps we provide below will guide you in the direction of a professionally designed, developed and marketed Web site.

Step One: Domain Name (URL) Registration -- This is the address people will use to access your Web site (www.yourcompany.com).
Once you have determined that the URL you wish to use is available, the cost to register a name is anywhere from $70.00 to $100.00 per year.
A domain name needs to be renewed every year.

Step Two: Design of the Web Site -- This is where the look, feel, and content of the Web site are determined and created.

Domain names are the familiar, easy to remember names for computers on the Internet
(such as lastsolutions.com.au). They correspond to a series of numbers (called Internet Protocol numbers)
that serve as routing addresses on the Internet. Domain names are used generally as a convenient
way of locating information and reaching others on the Internet. So instead of having to type  202.174.100.60 you can just type lastsolutions.com.au.

Before anyone can see what your company has to offer,
you must elect a Web Hosting company to host your website.
Everything you see on the Internet is stored on web servers around the world.
There are many thousands of companies who provide this service and their prices all vary depending on your requirements.

Websites come in many different shapes and forms.
They can be static or dynamic.
They can integrate with databases to store products/services information,
or simply display basic information such as contact details and other company
(or personal) information.

Ecommerce is the term used to describe the selling of goods and services over the Internet.
In the most general sense, simply creating a Web site that advertises and promotes your products can be considered "ecommerce.""
In recent years, however, ecommerce has become much more sophisticated.

Ecommerce businesses now offer elaborate online stores where customers can browse thousands of products,
place an order, select the desired shipping method and pay for their purchases using their credit cards.
