What will I have to provide, for you to create my web site?

It helps if you can provide as much as possible of whatever you want on your web site. This usually includes photo's, text and your logo if you have one. It's also very helpful to fill out our FREE website design quote and be sure to fill out the 'complete' form. None of this is required - and we can gather the information we need in a phone conversation or two it's more convenient.

How much does a web site cost?

The cost for a website depends upon several key factors:

  • How large is the site going to be? (scope)
  • What technologies and features do you want? (technology/features)
  • In what format is the content provided, electronic or paper (content format)
  • Who will provide the content? Will we have to create it ourselves? (content provider)

Do I have to pay a fee every time I want to change or update my web site?

No. We can develop a website for you - and you can add content and pages yourself.

We highly recommend that you use us to add regular content and features to your site. The reason is that we can add pages to your site for just a small investment on your part, and those pages will do much, much more than any pages you could build yourself. They will be search engine optimized, contain conversion architecture and feature specially written compelling copy. Contact us for more information.

Having us work on your site regularly is one of the best values we offer to the small business owner and, we believe, one of the best investments you can make in your business. It will allow you to create a web site worth many times what you invested. This is how the largest and most successful companies in the world build and grow their web sites, yet it's accessible and affordable to you. The web site that evolves will be custom made for your business, it's processes, it's mission and vision and it's markets - in every detail.

* No web site package is as effective at helping you grow your business and creating the lifestyle you want as an ongoing monthly package. It allows you to develop your website in small increments over time and so accomplish things that would otherwise be way beyond reach. A monthly builder package is the ideal format for a small business owner, who needs cost effective way to build something substantial for their business.

We offer affordable monthly maintenance plans from $39 a month, and business development packages start from just $97.

See monthly maintenance and growth packages for details.

How long does it take to finish my web site?

The average time for most sites is two to six weeks. It depends upon the scope of your project. One major factor affecting the time line how quickly you can provide us with materials such as photo's and information about your company and your various products and services.

Can I manage my e-commerce site?

Yes you can! Our e-commerce package includes up to 4 hours of customer training. We'll teach you and your staff how to update and manage your online store.

What overall recommendations do you have?

We recommend that you start simple. Clearly identify your target audience and your objectives for the site. In some industries - a high-end web site is needed to attain a competitive advantage. In most cases however, a simple and professional web site designed with your business, your objectives and your target market(s) in mind is highly effective.

Above all, remember that having a website and not continuously adding to it is like planting a garden and then never tending the soil or planting anything, or opening a savings account and then never consistently putting money into it. You would pay an incredible 'opportunity cost'. That's the cost of lost opportunities.

A regular monthly maintenance and growth package is very affordable and is ideal for the small business owner who wants to leverage their dollar and get bottom line results. It will help make your web site a tour-de-force for your business and will increase the effectiveness of your sales, marketing, innovation and customer service in more ways than you can imagine.

If there's a single secret to tapping the potential of your web site and taking advantage of all the online marketing opportunities, one of our monthly growth packages is it!

See website design and maintenance for details on our monthly growth packages.

Can I update my web site after you've developed it?

Yes. We can create a self-updating, dynamic and accessible website for you.

We highly recommend that you hire us to add pages to your website instead of doing it yourself. The reason is that we can add pages to your site for just a small investment on your part, and those pages will do much, much more than any pages you could build yourself. They will be search engine optimized, and contain conversion architecture plus compelling copy. Contact us for more information.

Macromedia Flash ™ is an animation program that's frequently used to design low-bandwidth animations. They consist of moving images or text, video or audio presentations, splash pages that lead into a web site, and in some cases complete web sites.
