The three things you need to get a website up and running are:
1. Web pages. This is where Mowe Media comes in. A web designer transforms your ideas, writes script and creates graphics into a form the computer understands, and your viewers can see.
2. You need an ISP (Internet Service Provider) to "host" your web pages. The cost for this is an average of $8-20 per month. Mowe Media can advise and help you decide which ISP and plan would be best for you.
3. An address for your website (a domain name), so that people can find your site. e.g. www.mowemedia.com. Your domain name is an important part of the website and requires a lot of thought. This name needs to be registered and set up so that anyone typing it in, gets directed to your website. Again, Mowe Media will be there to help you with this purchase.
