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.
-
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.

you have a specific question? Email
us, we'll be glad to answer them.
