  • Main Subject - Getting A Website: Where Are The Costs?

    So you have made the decision to have a website built for your business, but are not sure of what is involved, and where the costs lie? It can be confusing, especially if you are not particularly Internet or PC savvy: web development, web hosting, domain names, email addresses.

    All of these are factors that need to be considered and costed into your project. As well as that, you
    According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
    ’ve seen many great websites on the net, which are packed with loads of cool features, moving graphics, options to sign up for newsletters, database searches and links to other sites.

    Do you need all these features, and how much will all that cost? What should you have in your website, what’s the process, and how much will it all set you back?

    The first step is to think of a su
    ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug.

    Examples of combination products may in
    table domain name. The name of your company can be a great start, so you get www.mybusiness.co.nz or www.mybusiness.com . Which do you need: dot co or dot com? I believe that a dot co domain name is OK for most New Zealand businesses, and that a dot com name still really implies an American site, although this is not a fast rule. Why not identify your business as a NZ one stra
    lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

    ght off and use dot co, which will promote our country to overseas net users? Something else to think about is whether the name lends itself to what your business does or provides.

    So the domain name www.circusanimalhire.co.nz (it doesn’t exist, I checked!) tells you pretty much what the website is all about. A name like www.prsmythe.co.nz doesn’t give as much information about
    here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe
    the core business, and so users then have to actually view the site to determine what is provided.

    You need a lot of advertising, PR and brand marketing clout to get a name like www.amazon.com to be synonymous with books right? But it is possible as we know. When you’ve thought of your name, register it: $39.95 will secure you the name for a year.

    What does a website cost? A
    d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

    Combination pro

    You generally get what’s called a brochureware website. That’s one that is like what it’s name suggests: an online brochure introducing your business, products and services, and encouraging users of your site (your target market) to contact you. You can have the basic structure of three pages:

    1) Home page which introduces you, your business, products and services

    2) Products and/or Services page for more detail

    3) Contact page, which may include location (a map!), phone numbers and email facility.

    The latter may be in the form of a link, which opens up a blank email when clicked on, or may include a form, which users
    easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

    The form is great way of encouraging users to give you a certain amount of required information, so that you can give the most informed response, and hopefully generate some business.

    A brochureware website is a great start if you want to start off small, with a good Internet presence at a reasonable price. Don’t forget

    This sort of site supports your existing marketing strategy and initiatives and is another facet of your marketing strategy: it’s an advertisement for your business.

(What you NEED may cost you less, so get advice). There are no set prices for including this sort of functionality, and the best bet is to shop around. There are options.

    Even if you start with a brochureware website you can of course add features over time, and it is important to plan for this from the outset if that is what you want to do.

    Don’t forget also that once a website has been constructed and launched there may need to be ongoing maintenance of the site, in terms of keeping the data in it up to date, periodic review and testing and furthe

    As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

    Discuss with your web developer what might be required and what these costs might be. This should be discussed with you during the initial planning phase of your web development project. Also discuss search engine optimisation (SEO), which is the process of ensuring your site can be found on the net.

    SEO of your site initially and on an ongoing basis, is strongly recommended for your website, as search engines still account for over 80% of the traffic to websit

    Once your website is complete, you will need to have your website hosted, and there are many hosting company’s available which offer this service. The prices vary for these services from about $20 to $50 per month, and the value added services provided vary considerably.

    So, a lower priced host sounds great, but they may not give you web stats or a free form script, and this may set you back if you want or need these facilities for your site. Ask the right questions, or read the available information on the hosting company’s website before you commit yourself.

    So, in summary it is fair
