A website is the most important tool you can purchase for your business. Building a new website is an exciting process and a good architect is essential. With Lucid Creations we can make your website a highly strategic tool that will make an impact, raise your business profile, add value to your brand and communicate with your clients 24/7, 365 days a year. We produce great website designs and we also make sure that your website is 100% optimized for search engines ensuring that people can find you any where, any time. (Not all web development companies make sure that search engines can find your business). At Lucid, we want your website to succeed.

What’s involved in building a website?

1. You need a domain name. e.g. yourcompany.com.au
- This usually costs between $30-45 per year depending on the type that you are after
- Please note that .com.au domain names require a ABN

2. You also need website hosting. This is cost of having your website location on a computer connected to the internet 24 hours, 7 days a week. The annual hosting fee covers the cost of maintenance, support and data transfer.
- The cost to host your website with Lucid Creations is $101.2 per year.

3. You also may need an email address that is linked to your domain name. e.g. yourname@yourcompany.com.au
- We will create up 5 email address for you that will allow you to store 7 GB of data on each account!

4. The most important part is the website is the actual design and content

There are 2 main options to developing a website:

a) Choose a design from our catalogue
b) Custom design from scratch

5. Finally, managing content is an essential component of any website. All of our website are built in an award winning content management system (CMS) that will allow you to alter and make modifications to just about any component of your website at a time convenient to yourself. To do so you simply login to the administration site using a web browser, from their text and images can be changed, as your business requires. The CMS is customizable but requires a moderate understanding of computer usage (particularly picture resizing) and some minor training. If you are a user who is comfortable with web-based email systems then you will have no problems.
