Website Administration – Establishing a hosting service for your website, registering your domain name, setting up email accounts, publishing website content, DNS transfer, search engine optimization. (This service is provided as a separate service only if you choose to host your site through a third party hosting company.)

Take the frustration out of setting up your website. AMI Studios will handle all of your website administration nightmares, by providing services and consultation in the following areas.

Project Maintenance : A static website is frustrating for internet users, as well as website owners. Any effective online presence is updated regularly with new photos and text, and maintained for enhancement of the visitors’ experience. Outdated material should be removed regularly, broken links fixed or removed, contact information must always be current.

Website Publishing : Creating and publishing Web pages

The easiest way to create a Web page is to use a Web authoring-tool, also called an HTML-authoring tool. Some of the more common authoring tools are Composer, which is free and available from Netscape, FrontPage, which is available for purchase from Microsoft, and Dreamweaver, which is available for purchase from Macromedia. These tools write the HTML code for you as you compose your page. Using them is similar to using a word processor such as Microsoft Word.

As an alternative, you can create Web pages by writing the HTML code yourself in a text editor program such as Notepad. Pointers to learning HTML include Writing HTML: A tutorial for creating Web pages, Web Monkey, CNET Web Builder, HTML Goodies, Yale Web Style Guide, and W3C HTML Homepage.

Once your site has been created it must now be Published, which requires knowledge of FTP (File Transfer Protocol) software. To access this ftp area for your website you will need to acquire your username and password from your hosting service provider. Whether you host your site on our servers at WebhostStudio, or choose to host your site through a third party hosting service, as your website administrator, AMI Studios will handle all aspects of this complicated process and save you the headache of sifting through the volumes of information on this topic.

When you choose AMI Studios as your website developer, we will save you both time and money by providing these services under one roof. Our expertise is at your disposal when you obtain our services.

Email account setup : Reputable hosting service providers offer multiple email accounts with your service. Customizing these accounts can be confusing and time consuming, especially if you are unfamiliar with your servers system. Most hosting service providers will offer to setup these accounts for a fee, if you choose to have them do it for you. If you prefer, AMI Studios can provide this service for you, either as part of our Website Administration package, if you are using a third party hosting provider, or FREE as a value added service, when you host your site on our server at WebhostStudio.
