Web presence

A modern civil celebrant needs to have good IT and computer skills.

More young and not so young couples and families use the internet to find and buy products and services.

So if you are not there, you can not be found!

Be careful about spending lots of money on newspaper, magazines, and other standard advertising methods.

Having your own website is the first best step before you do anything else about advertising or promotion.

There are ways to have a web presence without spending thousands of dollars, if you can not afford that.

And ways to build towards a comprehensive website as your celebrancy service grows.

STEP ONE:
Buying a Standard no photo  ACCN LISTING or Deluxe with photo ACCN LISTING and use that spot in our ACCN Directory as your a web address.

Once listed, if you go to Directory, and search for your Listing
Then
Click on its HEADING, the page that comes up in the browser can be used as your web address.

For example, the example celebrant listing URL  is:
http://www.accn.com.au/directory/directory-help/sam-pl-celebrant_534/

Please contact us if you need more information about this.

STEP TWO:
Better than step One, because this can be put on your business cards - and does not have to change, if you change designs or hosting companies - if decide you no longer want a listing on our website :-)

Buy your OWN DOMAIN name.
As the ACCN is a Netregistry Affiliate, Netregistry is recommended if you would like our asistance: www.netregistry.com.au

A DOT.COM.AU is $45 for two years - there are other cheaper providers 
A DOT.COM is $19.95 for one year - there are other cheaper providers

Then purchase a DOMAIN MANAGER for an EXTRA $19.95 pa : Netregistry - Domain Manager

And point your DOMAIN name to your ACCN web entry.

TOTAL COST:
No more than equivalent of $42.50 per year, plus the cost of your ACCN listing (see Step 1).

To purchase a domain name with a DOT AU you will need to have an ABN number.
This is not an easy process.

STEP THREE;
Keep an eye out for our News about the cost of using a Web Page in the Home Pages section of our ACCN website.

Unlike Steps 1 and 2 above, these web pages will make no reference to the ACCN at all.

The advantage these three approaches however is that you can edit your entry any time, without needing to pay a web developer to do anything extra for you.

STEP FOUR;
Purchase a low cost template and hosting package so you have your own website - but one you can edit yourself. We have heard suggestins from members of website services our Members have used.
