FAQs
We do all inclusive pricing, there will be no arbitrary quotes, no monthly fees; we are honest and upfront about our pricing structure. Nothing you don't want or need is forced upon you. You'll have a clear understanding of the cost before the project begins and no surprises when you receive the final invoice.
Step One - Contact Us
Simply use email or call (630-299-9656) us with a short description of your project. Together we can review the details, specific requirements and the end result you want for your site.
Next, we'll provide you with a quote for the total cost of your site creation. This interaction provides us both with the information and insights we need to decide if our relationship will be mutually beneficial. If we are agreed - we move onto step 2.
Step Two - Your insight is vital!
While we may be the Web design professionals, you have vital information about your business, your customers, your likes and dislikes that will make your site a success. You help us understand your goals for look and feel of the website. Some of the topics cover navigation, calls to action and other elements required on the home and sub page templates we will be designing.
Step Three - Provide us with feedback
We will provide you with prototype design concepts within 2 weeks of our initial contact. Your feedback will help us to determine which direction to take. We may only need to do some tweaking, you may chose one of the designs we submit, or you may pick and chose various options from any of the prototypes to be launched into a final design concept!
Step Four- Test and launch
Once you have approved the final design, we add and format the copy (text) to all the pages and set up your desired features, such as contact forms. Once everything has been approved by you, we upload your site to the Web and fully test its functionality. We make sure that your site can be viewed as intended in Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and other common browsers and resolutions.
The Web design process generally takes anywhere from 3 - 6 weeks.
Will we need to have a meeting in connection with the website design?
In the majority of cases a meeting isn't necessary and most of our websites are generally completed with contact via email and telephone only. We place suggested website designs onto the Internet in a private place where only yourselves and us can view the content as we work towards the final product.
Can you provide all our web design and hosting services?
Yes - we are your one stop company and our costs include all your web services. We can register your domain name - design your website - provide your web hosting and arrange your email accounts for you.
How many pages can I have on my web site?
As many as you like. Actually, more is better, since a website is usually more user friends if there are more pages with less information on each page as opposed to alot of information on only a few pages. In addition, from a search engine point a view - The more the better!
How do I get my website listed on search engines, especially Google?
Modern search engines like to find your site naturally, through links to your site from other sites. Google especially
relies on your incoming links to determine your popularity and relevance.
