Cornerstone's Vancouver-area website design team builds professional, affordable websites — from a simple 3-page starter site to a full e-commerce store with a shopping cart and secure checkout.
We can add databases, registration forms and SSL security to your site, or build something more advanced that interfaces directly with your accounting software.
What's involved in creating a website?
The domain name
There are many different types of domains you can register. A domain like cornerstonesoftware.ca is part of the ".ca" domain, meaning Canada. Some common types:
- .com — commercial entities, but unrestricted
- .org — typically non-commercial organizations
- .info — informational sites, unrestricted
- .biz — businesses
- .pro — professional organizations like lawyers and doctors
- .net — network providers, but unrestricted
Once you've picked a domain type, we help you find and register a name that's available. It's important that you are listed as the owner and billing contact for your own domain — that way you're never at the mercy of a web designer who registered it on your behalf.
What we'll need from you
- A goal or plan — what you want the site to do, and who your audience is
- Photos of your staff, office, or products
- Text about your company, products or services
E-commerce websites
If you're planning to sell online, we can help you choose how to collect payment: an SSL-secured checkout on your own site, or a service like PayPal or a third-party payment gateway that handles the credit card processing for a small fee. We can build a shopping cart specific to your business, or set up packaged shopping-cart software.
