Frequently
Asked Questions
How can I afford
a professional web site?
It is not
so difficult... Based on what many small businesses need for web sites,
most can have us do a CUSTOM site for $300-500. This would include initial
setup, page design, simple graphics, and one or two photos being scanned
and placed on the web site.
I already have a web site on a directory service... why create my
own?
Many businesses
have bought into services or design companies that offer specialized directories...
They may include directories for professional people, or within a town
or geographic location. These services are COUNTING on you NOT to know
what to do on your own. These directories assume that you are like everyone
else in the directory. In most cases, they use inexpensive "TEMPLATES"
to design a site... and your site ends up looking like it just came off
the shelf - just like everyone else's site. WE DO EVERY SITE ON A CUSTOM
BASIS! We take the time to learn who you are and what makes you different!
What will a web site do for me?
In most cases,
web sites will be used in one of the following ways:
- A simple
presence on the Internet - Image building
- Reference
- A place for current and potential customers/clients to go to learn
more about you
- Marketing
/ Operations - A place for interactive technology to be used by staff
and customers / vendors to get forms and other business tools
- Full-fledged
E-commerce
Items 1-2
are relatively simple and can range from least expensive sites (less than
$200) up to full fledged e-commerce sites in the $5-10,000 range or higher.
We have a web site... it does nothing for us.
That's one
of the toughest areas to address with our clients. In many cases, people
have been given the impression that you can "throw" a simple
1-2 page site up on the Internet, NOT have your own domain name, and do
nothing to promote the site, and somehow people will come flocking to
you! (Sometimes, it can be people in the web design profession that even
GIVE this impression!) If you have a site that has taken little effort
and planning, that looks like a "stock template", and that does
NOT integrate with your advertising and marketing strategy, then getting
NO RESULTS is all too common.
Our clients
know what they are getting, know what to expect, and being marketing professionals
as well as web specialists, we can create an INTEGRATED WEB PLAN to let
them know exactly what to expect!
What kind of presentations do you create?
We help all
sort of people create professional presentations - on computers, on CD's,
and online. These can be Power Point presentations or Flash presentations.
