How will a web site benefit my business?
Having a web site can greatly increase your sales. Potential customers are searching the web everyday for the same products and services that you provide. Here are 5 excellent reasons (but there are many more) to have a web site:
- Consumers search online for products and services before they even step out the door. Your business will have an advantage over other businesses if you are found online.
- You can educate consumers about your business while they are comparing places to shop. Consumers tend to have more confidence in a business that they know more about.
- Keep your customers close by. You can use features such as auto responders, e-mails, web forms, and many more to keep in touch with customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Your business will be accessible to customers and potential customers around the clock.
- It's professional! You can put your web address on business cards, advertisements, logos, letterheads, and much more.
- Consumers demand it. With everyone online today, they are expecting businesses to have a web site that they can go to. It gives them insight as to what you have to offer. If they aren't finding your business online, they are finding someone else.
What is a Hosting Company?
A Hosting Company is the place where your web site is 'stored'. Your web site will be uploaded onto their servers for people to have access to when they go to your domain name.
How do I choose which Hosting Company to use?
From years of personal experience with many hosting companies, we have found one that has exceeded our expectations every time. We use this company for all hosting needs, unless you have another company that you would like to use instead.
I own a small business with a limited budget. Can I still get a web site?
Absolutely! We will work with your budget, and provide you with the best possible solutions for your new web site.
How long would I expect to wait until my web site is complete?
On average, it usually takes 2-3 weeks to complete a web site. This timeframe varies with the amount of content, forms, graphics, etc. that are needed to complete the web site.
During the design and development phase, will I be able to see my site ?
Yes! You will be able to monitor the progress of your web site...IN REAL TIME!! We will show you step by step how to do this. It is a very simple process, and it will be fun! You get to watch your web site grow from day one!
I see a lot of web sites that use Flash Animation. Will you do that?
No. Flash is an excellent addition to any web site, however it is very time consuming to create, and we typically deal with small to medium sized businesses with limited budgets. We also tend to stay away from Flash Animation because it can make the pages load very slow for someone with a slow internet connection, and not everyone's browser handles Flash correctly. It is also more difficult to get your web site displayed in higher rankings with a flash-based web site.
