Adkins Announces Opening of Adkins9.net Web Design

Thomas Adkins, owner of Adkins9.net Web Design, announced the opening of his new business, Adkins9.net Web Design. Adkins9.net will specialize in website design, but will also offer a
combination of internet web site building, hosting, optimization and consulting services, in addition to (in some cases) hardware, software, and networking solutions. Their website can be found at www.Adkins9.net.

Adkins9.net Web Design, located in western North Carolina and based in Horse Shoe, will offer services primarily in the Asheville and Hendersonville areas, including all of Buncombe and Henderson counties, in addition to most of Transylvania and Polk counties.

Adkins also offers some tips for the new business. According to Adkins, "if you’re in business, then you’re likely looking for ways to increase that business, to bring in more customers. One of the first approaches that usually come to mind will be marketing, one definition being “the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of goods, services, and ideas to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organization objectives.”

"Part of this concept will be advertising, or the business of drawing public attention to goods and services. As part of this approach, we consider who, as a group, our customers are, and where we can find them. Needless to say, in this day of computers (or PC’s,) we look at the internet, or to having a web presence online. This means promotion of our goods or services by means of a web site (sometimes called website,) either our own or that of someone else.

"Your website, an electronic means of advertising, first must be available to the consumer. Other than by direct referral, “see my website at www.myname.com or www.adkins9.net” (your domain name,) your prospective customers will search for certain keywords. These keywords must not only appear in your website, but must be available in your “meta tags” (tags on your website visible to the search engines, but essentially invisible to the public.) In this way the public can find you on the web by searching for words that describe his or her interest. We call this search engine optimization (or SEO.)

This first part of your web design must be your message, perhaps brief and to the point. The second part, as in any advertising, is to present your message in an appealing way. Ideally, our message will convey valuable information (or news) to the public, and providing education and entertainment (be fun to visit) at the same time. Your webdesign may include pictures, photos, even art. Finally, unless you have a large business, you will need someone to provide web hosting and maintain your website. Web hosting, simply, is someone putting your information on their computer with an internet connection. Email (or e-mail) services are usually provided as well.
