How will people find my site?

Marketing
The marketing of your website is no different to any other product, service or event. The same basic rules apply. However, there are some aspects that are specific to the Internet and the World Wide Web. Once your site is online, let your clients know by including your site address in all advertisements, letterheads, signs, business cards etc.

Search Engines
Your website should be registered with major Search Engines. These are an integral part of the Internet structure as a means for users to find sites relevant to the information they are seeking.
This Search Engine registration is just one of the many services offered by HobWebs Limited.
We can register your site with as little as 7 search-engines or as many as 1000!

Link Exchanges
Another way to generate more traffic to your site is to help you create a Link Exchange with other online sites.
(Subject to permission)
Our staff can set up link exchanges for your site. For more information go to our Promotion page.

How do I get my own Domain name?

A Domain name is a shorter, easy to remember personalized Web address. For example: www.hobwebs.com
Since there are more Web pages than people on Earth, a personalized name must be reserved from a Domain Name provider. There is a fee attatched to this service.
(Approximately EC$250 for the first two years and EC$125 per year thereafter.)
Domain names are being taken up very rapidly; the one you want may be already gone.
You may decide to reserve your Domain now and build your site later. Let us know and we'll do it for you. Send email to:
info@hobwebs.com
