To get started with a new website design you will first need to register a domain name with either our domain registrar affiliate SiteGround or NetRegistry or CrazyDomains. There are a number of others, so have a look around for the best deal.
Then purchase your website hosting plan. Kodako offers 12 months of free hosting with SiteGround on all our website plans, however if you have an existing account with another hosting provider or prefer to use another hosting solution then Kodako should be able to work with them. Please note: 12 months of free hosting is only available on SiteGround plans.
If you have an existing website we may be able to migrate it to a staging site where we can redesign the content. If your email accounts are using MS Office 365, your registrar will need to make minor alterations to your A-records to point your domain name at the new servers while maintaining your email accounts. We will supply you with the new server IP addresses.
The above steps need to be completed before we can develop your website online. In the meantime, complete the points below and submit the form below, view some current styles and upload your website copy and graphics content to us so we can get started. We can always add additional content as we develop the website

It’s important to consider your main landing pages carefully and ensure they are relevant to the content your target market may be searching for.
Keywords

These keywords will be used throughout your website’s copy and in your web page meta data which is visible to search engines. Researched keywords for each page will greatly improve your websites ranking in search results providing they are relevant to your page content.
Content
Write a minimum of 350 words for each web page. The text content needs to be specific to each menu item. Use keywords a few times in titles, sub-titles and in the body of the text. Try to keep each sentence short using easy to understand language and keep it on topic. Ensure your most relevant keywords are in the first title and paragraph of each page.
