Building a site

I want to get a website for my business but I'm not sure where to start.

Organising and setting up a website can be a long and complicated process at the best of times. The most important things to begin with are:

• know why you want a website
• know what you want to achieve with it
• who will visit it?
• will it require updating frequently, or will it be static (remain unchanged)?

Research your competition:

• find out what they have
• do you like what they have and, if you do like it, why?

A good designer and developer will be able to assist with domain registration and web hosting as well as the look and feel of your site, and make recommendations regarding site map and content. We recommend that you contact our partners to see how they can assist you. See creative houses that use Flux.

I want a website - how can Flux help me?

Flux has been designed and programmed to make the day-to-day maintenance of a website simple for people who have no specific programming background. Flux manages the content that you insert, ensuring that it appears on the correct area of each page, while making sure that the main and sub-navigations display the correct pages automatically. The only level of computer experience required is basic word processing.

Will you help me to set up my website? How do I set up my website?

While Flux is an excellent CMS product, it isn't suitable for all kinds of websites. We welcome enquiries and are always happy to provide advice or referrals to other developers where Flux isn't suitable for your circumstances.

I have an existing website, how can Flux help me?

Flux takes the pain out of day-to-day site maintenance for site owners allowing them to makes changes quickly and easily when they want and need them. Existing sites can be rebuilt in Flux using templates and cascading style sheets (CSS) to ensure that the appearance is suitable.
