If you have any questions, you may find your answer here. 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. Due to the fact that we are in this area, we are most likely cheaper than most companies out there.


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 2 - 4 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: http://flexihostings.us/hosting/


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, money orders 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!
