If not, don't hesitate to
contact us. We will
answer your question and then put it on here for
others to use if they need the same things answered!
Do you
design sites for companies outside of Festus
/ St. Louis?
Of course. We are very competitive and can
compete with any business outside of our
area.
Do I need to hire a "local" web site
designer?
We create web sites for clients who are
local as well as out of state. By using the
Internet, email and the telephone, it is
possible to communicate effectively with
clients in any location.
How long does it take to have a web site
designed?
The time frame is determined by the size of
your web site, the complexity of your site
design, and our current client design
schedule. Most sites designed by us are done
within 4 - 6 weeks from start to finish. A
lot of this falls in your hands as well. If
you can give us the things we need right
from the start / throughout the project, we
can implement your design much quicker!
Can I choose you to design my site and use
my own web host?
Yes, but all consider your options:

Do you offer any type of discounts?
Yes, we offer discounts for schools and non
profit organizations.
What is the difference between a “static”
and a “dynamic” site?
A static site is one that is written in HTML
only. Each page is a separate document and
there is no database that it draws on. What
this means functionally is that the only way
to edit the site is to go into each page and
edit the HTML - so you'd either have to do
it yourself using a webpage editor like
FrontPage or pay me to go in and edit the
site each time you wanted something changed.
A dynamic site is written using more complex
code and can do a lot more. For instance, I
can make an area where you can log in and
change various parts of the site, such as
adding information or products. This is
because each page is constructed based on
the information in a database, and the
information in that database can be changed
via another interface.
Dynamic sites can reduce ongoing maintenance
costs if you don't want to change things
yourself with a webpage editor or with the
HTML. They usually cost more to develop, as
they require more complex coding and a
content management utility needs to be
developed to help you manage your website
information.
Another benefit of dynamic sites is that
they allow you to change only the content of
the site and not the design, so you will not
be able to accidentally break the visual
style of the site. They have other benefits
when sites start to get very large, as they
make data management much more efficient and
your site more expandable.
Many clients do a combination, having some
dynamic areas such as a product catalog
where they have to change information or
pictures regularly, and leave other pages
such as contact information as static pages.
I don't think a website will do anything for
me, am I right?
No, many people overlook the various
products, services, or business processes
they can include on a website. Any
communication or interactions that happen
within your business can be made easier and
more effecient by the web. Your business
will save money and time while appealing to
a much greater audience, the world.
What type of payment forms do you accept?
We accept checks and credit
card payments via PayPal.
How will I know if people are visiting my
website?
We incorporate a little program called
Google Analytics. It's the best software out
for tracking website traffic. We use it, our
clients use it, and you will love it!
What if I need to make changes to my
website?
Well that depends. A static website can not
be updated by your company unless you have a
web designer or knowledge in HTML. Most
people out there do not have either one of
these, so we offer website maintenance
plans. Ask us about it.
If you would like a dynamic website built
for your company, we can do this too. The
advantages of this, is that you will only
pay a one time fee to us, and have the
ability to make changes yourself. The only
downside to this, is that it will cost a
little bit more money. Just shoot us an
email, and we'll give you a quote!
Can you create flyers or business cards for my company?
Yes! We do both web and print design. |
