Business owners can encounter a lot of confusion when trying to get a website online and create an effective presence. The vast range of accessories and pricing options can leave them dazed and confused. The YARE team decided to simplify the process. We identified the 'confusion points' and set about creating a package that removes them:

• Domain names - who owns the name? how do I buy it? what if I move to another designer?
• Hosting - what is the regular ongoing cost?
• Email - how do I get an email address? how much does it cost?
• Design - what is the design cost? does this get me a finished website online?
• Updates - what are the ongoing costs of updating the website? How quickly can updates be made?
• ISPs -what happens if I change my Internet Service Provider?
• Content - how much does each page cost? what can I put in it?
• Upgrades - what about online shopping? search? or blogs?
• Search Engines - how do people find my site? what are keywords and metadata?
• Stability - is this designer reliable and will they be around to support our site in the years to come?

YARE is aimed squarely at removing the confusion and setting a benchmark for business websites. For a one-off charge you get:

• A 10 page static website
• 5 email addresses
• a .nz domain name (.co.nz, .org.nz, etc)
• an extra 10Mb of space for images and files.

The website is developed into a shared Content Management System (CMS) which allows the site owner to access and change their own content online using a web browser and their standard internet connection.

There is an ongoing low monthly charge for hosting the website.
