FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you need a web site? - If your competition doesn't have one, if your customers do not use the Internet, if you don't need to market your products and services, if your potential or existing customers do not need to see an image enhancing positive professional on line presence, then you probably don't need a web site... today. If your competition changes or your customers' expectations change or you would like to get your site up ahead of your competition, then you should probably be thinking about getting a site pretty soon.
  • How long will it take? - Usually, a small 5 page site can be up and running on the web within a matter of weeks assuming you have a clear idea of what you want and you have all the information, images, graphics, logos and other things that go into your site (collectively referred to as "Content"). If you need an e-commerce site with shopping carts, numerous products, the ability to process credit cards on line and or integrated with your company's inventory management software, it will take quite a bit longer and will be more expensive. The best way to get a ball park estimate of the time needed is to give us a call (321-480-2365) so we can better understand your needs and assess what information you have and when the rest will be available.
  • How much will it cost? - Since we design each site to your needs and since we want you to be happy with your site, we will spend time getting to know your company and your needs. We will also spend a fair amount of time making changes to the site as you begin to see it develop. We expect that you will play an active role in reviewing and editing your site as well as making suggestions for refinements or enhancements. What we are getting to is that a lot of folks don't know exactly what they want. They need to look at something and then they can begin to tweak it, change it, add to it or trim it. Anyway, sorry for the long answer, a ballpark idea for a 10 page site is about $750 plus the cost of hosting and a domain name (approximately $260/ year). Some sites can cost less, 100 page web sites with a great deal of animation and graphics can cost quite a bit more.
  • Do you use cookie cutter web sites? - No. Prebuilt template sites may fit you but it will be neither unique nor tailored to your needs.
  • Can you integrate our logo? - Yes, in fact it's quite important that your logo appear throughout your site in order to reinforce your company's identity. If you do not have a logo we can: 1) coordinate with your preferred graphics artist, 2) design one for you, or 3) recommend a graphics artist.
  • What can you do to increase our ranking in search engines? - As part of our services we will create relevant META tag keywords and descriptions utilized by many search engines to classify your site. We'll also coordinate descriptive page titles, alternative text for images and text content to enhance your site's appeal. We will also submit your site to a number of major search engines including Google®. If you have cross linking requests with other sites we will be happy to incorporate them in your site. Search engine algorithms change frequently so we cannot guarantee your site will obtain or maintain a high ranking, but we will use our experience and knowledge to position your site in a positive light for search engine robots and spiders.

    If it is imperative that your site obtain a high ranking, please take a look at our Search Engine Optomization offering under Services.

  • How do we get started? - Give us a call to arrange a time we can meet. At that meeting we will talk about your site, your messages, different types of navigation, delivery of text, graphics, logos, images, color schemes, anticipated number of pages for your site, other site definition needs, availability of domain names, costs for web site server hosting, timing and pricing.
  • How easy is it to make changes to the site? - It is important to put your best foot forward on your site so we expect changes and refinements. Generally text changes are easy. If you want to change the site interface or navigation after the site is underway, then we will pretty much be starting over. Updates to your site by way of new free standing images, or text shouldn't be a problem. If you would like to add new pages, so long as the navigation scheme is not affected, we can accomplish this relatively easily.
