Q: How long does it take to create a web site?
The timescale of a project is largely dependent on how sophisticated is the web site you need.
With our pre-designed web sites templates your clients can see your web site in a few days.
If you need a custom designed animated web site, a site like this may take several weeks.
Q: What is the cost of a web site?
The cost of a web site varies depending upon the type of site you require. We build web sites including single page site, brochure sites, and e-commerce sites. We do not charge you per page, but per the actual features we build for your web site.
Usually you pay one-third of the price upon signing the contract, one-third after your approval on design, and one-third upon delivery of the final product. We accept checks, cash, credit cards and payments made by Paypal.

Q: Do I have to come to your office to get a web site?
No. We can design a web site for you no matter what part of the world you live in.
We can discus all your needs and wishes on the phone or per e-mail. If you already have digitized photos, graphics for your web site, and text files, you can just e-mail them to us. If not, you can mail us all the information, and we will digitalize them for you for a small fee.
We will set up for you a web address, where you can follow the progress. All your questions and requests will be answered per phone or e-mail.
Q: What is a domain name?
A domain name is a specific web site address that you choose and register with the Internet Authorities. Our domain name is "websitesboutique.com". To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name.
Q: What is hosting?
Web hosting is an online service that allows organizations and individuals to post a web site or web content on the internet.
A web hosting service basically houses your web site on the internet.
We can offer you everything from economy site packages with a very low start-up cost (in some cases $0 hosting!), to complete turnkey e-commerce solutions. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs, and allow us to make a recommendation how to best accomplish your online goals.
You will need a domain name and hosting, which we are happy to provide as part of our service.
Q: I want you to design my web site. How do we begin?

Q: What will my ongoing costs be after launching my web site?
Ongoing costs will vary depending on the specifics of your web site. These costs will include hosting fees (starting at $0 / month), domain name renewals (around $10/year), and site updates and maintenance (we will be happy to set up a maintenance contract for you tailored exactly to your needs).
If you have an e-commerce web site, your ongoing costs will be higher than costs of a simple brochure web site (which can start at $25/year).
Q: If you build a web site for me, do I own it?
Yes, once the web site is complete and uploaded to your host, you own it.
Our clients are not obligated to host with us (even though most do) and are always free to have anyone they want work on their web site. We release to you all of our working files.
Q: Once my web site is built, how will people find it?
We could create the perfect web site for your business, but what good is that site if no one knows it's there?
All of our web sites include optimization of the code and content for search engines. We also submit your web site's information to all of the major search engines upon completion. All of this at NO EXTRA CHARGE!
Q: How can I keep track of the traffic at my web site?
You will have access to statistics that will tell you how many visitors you have had, what time they visited, what part of the world they are from, how long they spent, which of your pages they viewed, etc. This is a service that is essential to promote and build a successful web site.
Q: What can I do to drive additional traffic to my site?
Promote your site. Let other people know it's there!
Include your web address (URL) on your business cards and letterhead. Mention it in your tv, radio, print, and outdoor advertising. Have your URL lettered on your business signs, door, and company vehicles. Put it in the signature line of outgoing e-mails, in letters, and in direct mail campaigns. Show your URL on promotional merchandise (shirts, key rings, or other items).
