			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I consult with a lot of companies.  Larger, smaller and one-person firms.  Small businesses have a soft spot in my heart because they are how it all begins.  A person with a dream, a good idea, a plan created something from nothing.  So I thought, I would put together what I would do, what I recommend and what I know for the small businesses.  You may need to <a title="Dallas Web Design, Development Firm" href="http://www.thesatorigroup.com">still hire a web firm</a> to help out, but with this knowledge you will be educated about the process.   Perhaps you can even take it and run with it.</p>
<p>Here is the outline of what this multi-post will entail:</p>
<p>1.  <a title="Hosting / Registering Domain" href="http://www.tinawinslowhudson.com/2010/03/domain-name-hosting-important-beginnings/" target="_blank">Domain Name / Hosting</a> &#8211; registering domain, strategy behind the name and costs about putting your site somewhere</p>
<p>2.  Content Management System &#8211; You need one, why and what types there are out there</p>
<p>3.  Look and Feel &#8211; Yes the CMS comes first, design is crucial, how to get one good and reasonably priced</p>
<p>4.  Putting it All Together &#8211; tweaking, integrating it with social media/community-based marketing and features</p>
<p>5.  Promotion &#8211; techniques, tools and strategies</p>
<p>6.  SEO/PPC &#8211; This isn&#8217;t the last thing discussed &#8211; it&#8217;s so important it is mentioned in every part but this will be the wrap up and discussion of how and when Pay-Per-Click is a good idea.</p>
<p>Remember not all of this applies to every small business and it may be overkill for a one-person firm but it&#8217;s all good general knowledge about how and why and what to do.   As always, my e-mail  tina (at) thesatorigroup (dot) com  is open for questions or leave a comment and I&#8217;ll reply.</p>
<p>P.S. &#8211; I&#8217;ll go back and link these as I post them so there can be a starting point!</p>
