F.A.Q. (Frequently
Asked Questions)
1. How long will it take to design my site?
The length of time will really depend upon many factors:
* The scale and size of the website
* Availability and preparedness of the materials such as written content
you are supplying to us.
* Amount of custom graphics design, programming and multi-media work
involved (this varies by project)
2. What is required to build it?
You would typically supply us with the written content which can be from
your current promotional material but it should be rewritten for a
website audience since promotional flyers, etc. don't translate well to
the internet. We can give you guidelines for writing the content to make
it easier. Alternately, we can arrange to have your content written for
you at an additional cost.Serach-Engine-Optimization
Other less tangible aspects such as design or layout ideas are handled
in the preliminary meetings where you specify any preferred color
schemes and sample web sites that appeal to you. If you have a logo
already we will use that as a starting point.
If you are selling products online (in excess of 30 items) we will
require a database of your product line, though one can be set up for
you. If you have pictures for each product they will need to be
delivered to us either by hard copy or electronically.
3. Do you have a pricelist for web site design?
Since no two web sites are exactly the same, a generalized pricelist
doesn't really apply. Unlike some other companies we don't just use a
series of templates. Everything we build is a custom entity molded to
the needs of what the site has to accomplish for you.
Typically we will quote a package price once the structure of the site
is developed which allows for minor additions and changes without
incurring extra fees. Programming or database driven projects are billed
on an hourly basis with projected cost outlines that are pre-approved by
the client.

the key information required to provide an estimate.
4. How do people find my website?
In addition to search engines (see below), there are a variety of ways
to help visitors find your site which include: placing your email and
web site address on all of your pamphlets and promotional material,
business cards and "tag lines" at the bottom of all your email messages
communications.
You can also aid people finding your site by looking for other related
sites that are willing to trade links with you. Each site ultimately
benefits from the partnership. Simply putting links on your page to
other sites does little to your ranking if they do not do the same.
Advertising in industry-related e-zines, traditional media (magazines,
newspapers, etc.) will also help your marketing strategy. The internet
is a very far reaching and cost-effective means of site awareness but it
can't be done to the exclusion of everything else. A good marketing
campaign includes traditional media.
5. Can you guarantee my site will appear on the
first page in a search engine?
Nobody can honestly claim to do so because of the ever-changing
algorithms and formulas search engines utilize. There are hundreds of
different search engines and indexes all of which have their own method
of determining what ranking they will give you based on a keyword
search.
data-Analysis Certain optimization techniques work in one search engine
but are given less weight or even penalized by another. The overall
strategy we employ is to try and find a happy medium and make sure your
keywords are present where they need to be. Other factors such site
popularity (determined by how many other popular sites are linking to
you), keyword placement in your page titles, page text, alternate text
for images and meta tags (special tags read by some search engines which
contain keywords specific to your industry and the site content) will
determine your site's relevance vs. the keywords the potential visitor
has typed in.
With every custom web site we create, we include submissions to some of
the most popular free search engines and indexes such as Google, Alta
Vista, Lycos, Dmoz Open Directory Project, etc. More comprehensive
strategies and submissions are available to achieve improved results.
We also will ask you to supply us with a preliminary list of "keywords"
that apply to your industry that potential visitors would be searching
for.
