Character is like a tree and reputation its shadow.
The shadow is what we think it is and the tree is the real thing. - Abraham Lincoln

Our Web Design Process
A Big Thank You.
Thank you for your efforts in helping the Southwest Illinois Jets basketball team to develop a great website that highlights the talents and achievements of our players.
Wow, my new website is looking good!
CompanyWebsites.com has done an excellent job of meeting our business’s website needs.
The basics
Getting Started With Your New Website
A small business’s online presence consists of three parts: a domain name, a website, and hosting services.
To receive a quote for a new website, or maintaining an existing site, complete our contact form. You can also call (618) 391-7070 to provide details about your business’s website needs.
Web Development quotes do not include domain name registration and web hosting services. See the tabs on the right of the screen for more information about these services.
Give us a call and let us know about your business, your business goals, and the objectives that you want your website to achieve. We’ll provide a quote based on your individual needs.
Customers have come to expect a business to possess a domain name that ends in .com. Accordingly, we recommend a .com that strongly describes your specific business or services industry. For example, we use CompanyWebsites.Com.
We advise that if you expect to frequently speak your domain name over the phone or advertise on the radio, choose a domain that is easy to say and spell aloud.
Are you a non-profit or similar organization? Consider registering the trusted .org extension. Above all, choose a domain name that is memorable and easy to spell.
To make your website available to the public, you will need to purchase web hosting. Web hosting is a service that allows users to post web pages to the Internet. Web sites are hosted, or stored, on a special computer called a server. The server, or host computer, allows Internet users connected anywhere to reach your site when they type in your domain address.
Have an existing website that needs to be updated? We provide one-time updates and ongoing maintenance. Failing to maintain your website by updating plugins and installing WordPress updates leaves your site vulnerable to hackers and malicious code exploits. We’ll make sure your site has the latest software updates.
