Where do you start?

You've already taken a big step in researching the equine website design process.  But before you tackle the website of your dreams, there are a few things you should take time to do. 

  • Browse the web

Before you lock into a certain website design idea or theme of your own, spend some time browsing the internet for other websites similar to yours.  Write down at least three sites that you admire and why you like them.  It may be because the photos are awesome, or perhaps the navigation is simple, or maybe you find the design and colors appealing.  This information will greatly help your web designer build you a website you will love.

  • Choose a Domain Name

Your new equine website will need a name, called your domain.  The biggest mistake people make when choosing a domain name is making the name too long.  Another common mistake is making it hard to spell.  You want something catchy, easy to type, and avoid punctuation marks or underscores.  The best domain names contain the business name and/or business type.  Examples would be horsewebsites.com or joneshorsefarm.net, etc.  If you have an unusual last name, often that is a good choice, providing it is relatively easy to spell.  

  • Choose an E-mail Name

Your new website automatically offers the option of an e-mail address attached to it.  If the website name is jonespainthorses.com the e-mail address could be anything@jonespainthorses.com.  Keep the e-mail address short and even more simple than the web address.  Having it be pertinent to your type of  business is always a good idea.  Examples would include paints@jonespainthorses.com or stallions@jonespainthorese.com.

  • About 'Hooplahs' and 'Doodahs'

There are millions of little flashing icons and sound effects that can be incorporated into a website.  But we suggest you save those for other applications.  At Stoney's Website Design, our tastes lean toward keeping your horse facility or equine business website clean, classy and simply elegant.  Your site will load most quickly and attract repeat visitors more readily if viewers don't have to sit through the same old "doodahs" every visit.  We want your horses and business to stand out from the crowd, but in a clean, professional way.
