Today almost everyone has a web site of one form or another. Whether it's a simple one page site with the name of your company and a description of what you do, or a more complex, dynamic site that allows users to leave comments and buy products online, a web site is critical to the success of your business. Getting a web site up doesn't have to be hard, and there are a lot of resources available on the Internet to help you get started.

Many hosting companies now offer basic web packages when you purchase hosting through them. Shared hosting allows you to put a web site up on a server without having to maintain the server yourself. The name shared hosting comes from the fact that the server also supports a number of other web sites; that is, you share the server with many other users. For basic web sites, this makes a ton of sense. You get to have a presence on the Internet without a lot of cost. Moreover, having the web site on a server that is managed by a hosting company takes the burden of maintaining the server off of you and let's you focus on your business.

While you may want a more complex web site from the get go, getting a basic web site in place is not only efficient but also a great way to refine the kind of presence you really want. With today's tools, it's easy to add support for interactive forums, online payments, and user-contributed content.

User-contributed content can be an invaluable way to add depth to your site without a lot of cost. While your users benefit by having their content visible online, you benefit because that content gets indexed in the search engines, bringing more potential customers to your web site.

It's unlikely, however, that you'll want to do the work to put the more complex capabilities of payments, forums, and support for user-generated content in place yourself. Instead, it probably makes sense to hire a web developer experienced in designing and building interactive web sites.

Such projects need not be expensive. Web developers often have templates they can modify to meet your needs. You can create a description of the web site you want built and the features you desire, and post it to an online outsourcing web site. Such sites provide a marketplace for web development projects, software projects, and even the writing of unique and original content for your web site. The Internet makes it possible for you to hire the help you need from anywhere around the world, at a price that makes sense for you. Get your business online today!
