Let your ideas be heard and make your opinions count!

HOW CAN MY BUSINESS BENEFIT FROM A WEBSITE?
in today's market, customers expect businesses to have a web site. A web site allows customers to shop whenever, wherever.

A web site will:

  • INCREASE SALES: With a larger market, your product will appeal to more people. The amount of internet users is increasing by 50,000 people per day.
  • LOWER COSTS: With a web site, your business will be able to reduce publishing costs by advertising all the information right on the web site. This will allow customers to view this information instantly since they will not have to wait for your brochure to come in the mail.
  • KEEP CUSTOMERS INFORMED: Promotions and special offers can easily be advertised right on your web site. You can easily add updates if you are in a dynamic market. Don't worry about reprinting all of your brochures just because you want to add or change something.
  • ALLOW ON-LINE FEEDBACK AND ORDERS: Electronic forms are a great way to get necessary information out or your customers. You can also use these forms to take orders or ask viewers to subscribe to a service.

HOW MUCH WILL ALL THIS COST ME?
It depends on what you want. The bigger the site, more time is involved in creating it. The more complicated a site is and the more pages you add will determine the cost.

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THINGS TO MY PACKAGE:
There are many things that can be added to a package. What we listed for each package, is only what we thought most customers would be interested in. To add something to a package, just add it in when filling out our form in the comments box. Most likely it won't cost you anything extra but if it does we will be sure to contact you before we begin.

ONCE I PIURCHASE A WEBSITE FROM THE BASICS, HOW DO I GO ABOUT UPDATING IT IN THE FUTURE?
There are a few options that you can do.

  • The unique thing about our sites is the ease with which the owner can update their site. If your site is made in Flash, then bodies of text can be updated by editing a text file. Text files are opened/edited with programs such as notepad and Microsoft Word. When you edit and save the new text in this text file, the text on your web site will be updated. This is especially useful if you know you are going to have a lot of updates. This method allows the owner to never even see the code.
  • You could have us update if for you. We offer very affordable updates to our customers. We could update your site for as little as $10.00. It all depends on the extent of your update.
  • You could update your site yourself. Although not recommended it is possible. We will try to add comments and notes in the code of your pages (invisible to anyone viewing your site) to help you with updating manually.

DO I HAVE TO CHOOSE A TEMPLATE?
Not at all! In fact, you have one of two options. If you know what you want your web site to look like, you can either write it out on paper or on the computer with a image editor, and send it to us either through email, FTP, or post mail. The other option is you can contact us, by phone or e-mail and let us know what you want. You set the guidelines and we will follow them!
