The Internet might still be a wilderness of technical jargon and constantly changing methodology, but website design doesn’t have to be as complicated as it may seem. Number 9 recording studio can guide you through the process from beginning to end. Not only can we setup, build and design your site, we are also able to provide hosting solution, domain name registration, and search engine optimization.

Although our background with music naturally lends us to build sites for musicians, you can see by the variety of our portfolio that we are well-adapted for any industry.

Website Basics

If you don’t know what you’re talking about when it comes to a website, don’t worry – you’re not alone. Look over these informational points to get a better sense of what a website is all about.

• Website, Webpage
  A website is a collection of webpages that people view over the Internet. What you are reading right now is the Web Design webpage of the Number 9 Audio Group website. Some websites have hundreds and thousands of pages, some only have one or two.
• Browser
  Websites are viewed throught a browser. The most common browsers are Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Netscape and Opera – but there are many, many more. Even though there are standards for displaying websites, different browsers might display the same website slightly differently.
• Domain Name
  A domain name is the address of the site. Sometimes referred to mistakenly as the URL, the domain name is what people type into the address bar of a browser. For example, the domain name of Number 9’s website is www.number9.ca. Domain names are purchased for a given time period, usually a few years, and can always be renewed if about to expire.
• Web Hosting
  Web hosting is a service offered by a company to store a website on their Internet server. This is where the website physically exists and is accessed by anyone in the world. Web hosting is usually a monthly fee.
• Maintenance
  After a site has been built, ongoing changes are referred to as maintenance. This includes updates, tweaks and changes to the content (either text or images) of the webpages.

Services

Number 9 offers a variety of website design options. The wonderful aspect of websites compared to print design is the ease in editability – small changes are never an issue. We are able to jump into a project at any point and guide it to completion, whether it was started at Number 9 or not. Our technical capabilities include HTML, XML, CSS, PHP, Flash and Javascript.

• Complete Website Design
  Starting from a blank screen, we work with you to create your online presence. From both a design and technological aspect, we help you decide what you need to effectively carry your image into the digital domain, and then we make it happen.
• Website Editing
  If you already have a website but need to make some changes, there’s nothing too big or too small for Number 9 to fix things up. Most editing solutions are relatively minor, but we’re also prepared to handle complete re-designs as well. You won’t experience any down-time on your current site, as soon as changes are ready they are uploaded an in effect immediately.
• Website Maintenance
  Whether we built the site or not, we’re able to maintain any existing website. This includes minor edits on a continuing basis – daily, weekly, monthly, less or more often. The best feature of our website maintenance service is that you aren’t locked into a contract, you only pay when edits are made.
• Domain Name Registration and Web Hosting
  You can’t have a website without an address or a hosting plan, and the best way to keep things simple is to keep it all together. For that reason, Number 9 offers domain name registration and web hosting for new accounts. Instead of synchronizing settings between us and an outside company, let us integrate your website package under one roof.
