A company web site is capable of providing much more than products and services. It can also give valuable tips to customers for everyday living and in these tough economic times, tax information.
Your staff will feel the burden lifted with a web site as well. They'll take less phone calls and have time to contribute in other ways because you listed your business's basic information and provided an FAQ on the site. In addition, a web site encourages customer feedback. It's all available at a low cost to you!

HTML & CSS formatting is done in the code to ensure the cleanest and most efficient code possible. Many web site creators and "wizards" are available which generally create excess code making future revisions difficult if not used with that specific program.
A "page" is one HTML document which contains text, photos, graphics and links to other pages. Examples of pages could be a home page, a services page, a photo gallery page and so on.

A Domain Name is your location on the internet. Usually in the format http://www.yoursite.com or www.yoursite.com internet users can type this address into the URL bar of their web browser to get directly to your site. Some users may type this address into google or another search engine to find your site.
Web Hosting is space on the internet that holds all the files that power your web site.
Google Analytics is a comprehensive web statistics gathering service for web sites. A snippet of code installed in your pages will allow you to track how many visits you get to your site, what pages are getting viewed, where visitors are coming from, how they are finding you and so much more.
URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. It is the address of a page or site on the World Wide Web.
Contemporary sans serif design, Arial contains more humanist characteristics than many of its predecessors and as such is more in tune with the mood of the last decades of the twentieth century. The overall treatment of curves is softer and fuller than in most industrial style sans serif faces. Terminal strokes are cut on the diagonal which helps to give the face a less mechanical appearance. Arial is an extremely versatile family of typefaces which can be used with equal success for text setting in reports, presentations, magazines etc, and for display use in newspapers, advertising and promotions.

The Georgia typeface shares many similarities with Times New Roman, though Georgia is noticeably larger than Times at the same point size. Times New Roman's characters are slightly narrower, having a more vertical axis. When one compensates for the size differences and disregards the differences in compression and spacing, the remaining differences are minimal. Overall, Georgia's serifs are slightly wider and have blunter, flatter ends, but on initial inspection many letterforms are difficult for a novice to distinguish between Georgia and Times New Roman. Figures (numerals) are an exception: Georgia uses text (old-style) figures whereas Times New Roman has lining figures.

Bearing similarities to humanist sans-serif typefaces such as Frutiger, Verdana was designed to be readable at small sizes on a computer screen. The lack of serifs, large x-height (heights of lower-case letters, as scaled to the letter x being exactly equal to one), wide proportions, loose letter-spacing, large counters (spaces inside partially enclosed portions of letters or symbols such as c, s, or curved quotation marks), and emphasized distinctions between similarly-shaped characters are chosen to increase legibility.

Trebuchet MS distinguishes itself from other common sans-serif typefaces through several characteristics, the most notable of which include: The splayed edges of the uppercase M which form a 10° angle with a vertical line, The shape of the tail of the uppercase Q, The bar of the capital A is low, The shortened tails of the lowercase e and the numerals 6 and 9, The hybrid open and looped tail of the lowercase g, The rounded dots above and the shapes of the lowercase i and j, The curved tail beneath the lowercase l, The dollar sign symbol, in which the vertical strike only appears above the top and below the bottom curves of the S, The ampersand in the form of an "Et" ligature and The exclamation point, whose dot is large and round. Italic fonts incorporate italic type characteristics instead of just tilting roman glyphs, making it the first sans serif font family from Microsoft to use true italic features.

Because of its ubiquitous nature, the typeface has been influential in the subsequent development of a number of serif typefaces both before and after the start of the digital-font era. One notable example is Georgia, which has very similar stroke shapes to Times New Roman but wider serifs.

Courier is a monospaced slab serif typeface designed to resemble the output from a strike-on typewriter. The typeface was designed by Howard "Bud" Kettler in 1955. The design of the original Courier New typeface was commissioned in the 1950s by IBM for use in typewriters, but they did not secure legal exclusivity to the typeface and it soon became a standard font used throughout the typewriter industry. As a monospaced font, it has recently found renewed use in the electronic world in situations where columns of characters must be consistently aligned. It has also become an industry standard for all screenplays to be written in 12 point Courier or a close variant.
