Affordable Website Design

Are you looking for someone to develop a website? Cornerstone's Vancouver website design team offers professional and speedy service to put your message on the Internet.

We not only offer basic website design but can add databases to your site, registration forms and SSL security. We can create advanced websites that you won't find as a packaged software or create a site that interfaces with Accounting software.

What's involved in creating a Website?

The Domain Name

There are many different types of domains that you can get. A domain name like www.cornerstonesoftware.ca is part of the "ca" domain which means Canada. Here are some of the domain types:

• .org - used for non-commercial organizations.
• .com - used for commercial entities but it's unrestricted.
• .info - informational sites but unrestricted.
• .biz - used for businesses
• .edu - educational organizations.
• .pro - used for professional organizations like lawyers and doctors.
• .net - used for network providers but unrestricted.

Here is an example of a domain: murchtech.com

Once you have decided the type of domain, you need to pick the domain name and find out if someone else already owns it. Lets say I want to go with the dot ( . ) com domain, now I need to pick a name that best describes the website - let's say "yourproduct.com".

Cornerstone can get you the domain you want and set it up for you. We have the experience and know-how to set up your domain to send and receive email or host a website. It is important that you buy your own domain name or at least ensure that you are listed as the owner and billing contact. That way, you will be informed when the domain expires but more importantly you'll own the domain. If your Web designer buys your domain name and later you have a big problem with them, they will own the domain name and this could be a problem for you.

Great job Cornerstone! The site looks awesome... Your attention to all those little details made for a first class web site. Thanks again.
