Answer frequently asked
question for your customers (FAQ)
Will a website
cost me a lot of money?
We can discuss various levels of website
development, starting off perhaps with what I call a "brochure website" and
gradually (as time and money permit), growing your website. Or we can
develop the whole website and make it very customized to your business and
customers.
What do I have
to do to get a website?
You've taken the first step -- reviewing this
material. Another step - checking out websites of companies in the same
business as yours. In addition, review any marketing materials (brochures,
business cards, advertising, yellow page listings etc.) that you may already
have. They will serve as reference items in building your website.
Can I design my
own website?
Of course, you can design your own website. If
you have the types of skills required to do this, you may find it a very
exciting and creative process. You will find it necessary to know different
web applications available or HTML and CSS or different imaging tools to
develop graphics for use on the web. You should have a good understanding of
what works in which browsers. I would be happy to consult with you about
this process and what would be involved. If you would like to learn about
website design and development, I can provide one-on-one training.
How will people
find my website?
This is a very important question. In the early
days of the Internet, this wasn't much of a problem. You put up a website,
registered it with one of the 2 or 3 Search Engines and someone searching
for your product, and would find you. That's not the case today. There are
billions of websites, and almost that many search engines. It requires a
great deal of effort to be found.
So what can we do? Together we will identify
keywords and summary statements which will be coded into your website so
your site will be found by Search Engines. We'll register your site with
Search Engines and in the appropriate directories. But in addition to what
we can do on the Internet to get the word out about your site, you should
consider developing a promotion plan.

How long will
it take?
The answer to this question is, "it depends." And
what does it depend on? Primarily it depends on how complex your site will
be. And how much customization you want.
To develop a totally customized website with
custom graphics, navigation etc. would take us about 3 weeks.
