Our next step for our new business venture - The Riviera Meat Company Ltd - was to get a website. Neither my husband nor I have any real website experience but because we had a minimal budget we decided to create it ourselves. I purchased some Serif website software for £10 from PC World. You have to ring up Serif to register the product. When I rang I was offered an upgrade for £30 so I took it - so I now have Serif Webplus 10. I am really pleased with it. It is really easy to use - a bit like MS Publisher. If you want text you draw a text box and put text in it. If you want an image you use an image frame. Not programming required (unless you want more fancy stuff)! The hardest part of it all was deciding how our logo was going to look!
After that was created we looked around for a domain name and host. In order to keep it all in one place we opted for 123-Reg. It was really easy to sortout as you go through the signing up process step-by-step.
What domain names do you want? (www.rivierameat.co.uk - does what it says on the tin!)
Do you want a bespoke email address - what do you want it to be? (sales@rivierameat.co.uk)
Which host package do you want? (basic will do - but can upgrade later)
Enter payment details and go....
When it was activated we used the Serif software to upload the website to the net - easy peasy - even a beginner can do it.
