where to begin?

Not sure how to start your project? Want to know what a website can do for you? Below are some of the most common questions we hear:

Why does my business even need a website?

Recent consumer trends suggest that the Internet is rapidly becoming the preferred method of finding information. Conversely, traditional advertising mediums such as magazines, newspapers and phone directories are losing share to the web and search engines, such as Google. A website allows you to tap in to this huge market, improving the visibility of your business and allowing new customers to easily find you.

Will I be listed in Google/Yahoo/Bing/etc?

Search engine visibility is something that can't be forced. Each search company has their own way to determine site rankings and can often tell when content is being faked. The best way to earn a high result is to produce relevant, interesting content for the search engine to index.

How do I decide what I need from a website?

The best way is to look at other sites. Find the sites that you look at most often, even if they are in a different market or industry then yours will be. What do you like most/least about them? Are the colors and graphics eye pleasing or distracting? Are the menus simple and intuitive or complicated and confusing? Is the site still or do some elements move or animate? Does the site offer interactivity, member login or goods for sale? Also consider doing some searching for competitors or substitutes to your idea. How are they benefitting from the web?

Can I update my site myself?

Yes! Your site can be designed with a powerful content management system, specially designed software that allows you to login and update content on your own schedule. This may include editing text, replacing photographs or even maintaining a blog or online store!

I need a site! What happens next?

Our first step is to come up with an estimate based on your project's needs. This estimate will include a suggested timeline and approximate price. Next, we will arrange for a design meeting to discuss the project. After that meeting and a 50% deposit, development will begin. Along the way there will be revisions and check-ins, followed by a final meeting and project approval. Once the project is approved and the remaining balance is paid your new site will be launched.

Is this going to be expensive?

We can work in almost any budget as cost is determined entirely by the breadth and complexity of your projects. Web sites are extremely scalable and can grow as your marketing picks up steam. We can help you lay the groundwork now for a site that can be added to as your budget sees fit.
