Is
a website really necessary for every business?
Every business
can benefit from a website, as it creates another channel for customers to find
you, and buy your products or services. Today more than half of all Americans
have a computer, and 80% of those have access to the Internet. The majority of
those people are likely to use a search engine as opposed to the yellow pages
to make a purchase.

How
much is a website going to cost?
Many different factors
go into determining the cost of website, is it a new site or a revision of an
existing site, how many pages, how many images, how complex the site architecture
and layout is, are the pages static or dynamic, will there be a database or shopping
cart involved. After reviewing your needs we can provide you with a free, no obligation
estimate.

How
long should it take to set up my website?
The length of
time needed to build your website, really depends on what your starting point
is. If you have an existing website that only needs to be updated, it can take
anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. If you need a custom website built for
you, it can a few weeks to few months, depending on how many pages your website
will have. If you have a large website we can launch you in stages to get you
online as quickly as possible. As rule of thumb most small business websites can
be online in 4-6 weeks.

Can't
I use one of a free website service like geocities or tripod?
The free websites advertised like geocities or tripod are really meant for personal
use. These website are an extension of large web portals like yahoo, and when
you use it you will get a domain like www.yahoo.com/yourcompany/index.htm, which
is much harder to type than www.yourcompany.com. Additionally, the leading search
engines index almost none of the free services.

How
important are search engine listings and page rankings?
Unless your company has very high brand awareness, search engines will be the
primary method you use to acquire new customers. The closer you rank to number
1 the more likely it is someone will click on your listing. Any listings beyond
the second page are generally too deep to get you any significant results.

Can
I optimize my website for search engines on my own?
Search
Engine Optimization is a rapidly emerging field at the leading edge of technology.
Unless you have a lot of time to devote to research and testing Search Engine
Optimization is something that is best left to a professional. You are much more
likely to do damage to your rankings, and possibly get your website blacklisted
or banned, from search engines entirely.

Can
you get my website to the number 1 position in the search engines?
Generally speaking this is something that no one can guarantee, and any company
that does is employing unethical practices. We can specifically code your pages
with elements the search engines look for to place you higher on the list. This
type of coding usually requires a little more time and expertise. If you desire
to be number one for a search term, there are pay-per-click or other advertising
options we can assist you with.

How
often should I update my website?
You want your website
to look dynamic, and fresh, so the answer is how often do things change and how
often do you want your customers to come back. For some websites this may be daily
or weekly, for some monthly, and at the very minimum it should be quarterly. You
should also know that some search engines reward you if you have content that
is updated on a continual basis.

How
can a website improve my business?
A good website promotes
your business online and brings you new customers. Whether you are a goods or
services company, you can use your website to advertise your company, and join
the millions of other businesses that are already online. Today's consumers expect
a business to be online, and will often research a company website before they
make the decision to do business with them.
