Frequently Asked Questions About Web Design

Why would I hire someone to design my web site?

Hiring a professional web designer for web site development is necessary when you desire a custom look or feel for your company presence on the web. Or, you may have the need to create a dynamic web site that collects data or one that provides access to your data to your customers. Template web sites such as Intuits online web site design service is nice to get started with the basics. But as soon as your needs exceed the basics you are starting over with a hired web design company. My company offers you the opportunity to grow as your budget allows. We can start with the basics usually between $500.00 and $1000.00. If you need more dynamic content you simply have to ask and we will provide you with a quote fast. Template services do not typically provide this option and if they do the cost is far greater than any local web design firm.

What is a domain name (www.yourcompany.com) and how much does it cost?

A domain name is the name you use for people to connect to your web site on the internet. The cost of domain names averages around $8.00 - $15.00 per year. There are many domain companies available on the web. We use Godaddy.com for the majority of our registrations because the cost is usually right around the same or better than the going rate.

What is a web host?

A web host is simply a place where your web pages are stored on the internet. This provides access to your web site 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
