Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I get a head start on my website?

The first step is to purchase website hosting. You will need this regardless of which website development company you choose. There are literally thousands of companies who offer this service, however that certainly doesn't mean that they are all equal. In our experience with dozens of hosting companies, we have actually found many of them to offer quite poor service, slow speeds, and worst of all: website down time.

We have found only two companies that meet our high demands:

	Hostgator offers an exceptional value, reliability, and 24x7 support. We use hostgator for our own website hosting as well as the vast majority of our clients. As an added bonus, they have now gone green.
	Rackspace is well known as the leading provider for enterprise customers. While they do offer fanatical support, their pricing is generally much higher than other companies.

Where can I find pricing information?

We have managed projects ranging from the low four digits to high six digits. Costs can vary widely based on you, your specific needs, and your goals. Think of it like building a house. The number of rooms, square feet, quality, materials, and many other factors all contribute to the final cost.

With that said, we pride our selves on offering an exceptional value of competitive pricing with outstanding quality and success.

I am computer illiterate. Can you still help me?

We pride ourselves in our ability build communicate effectively to those with technical backgrounds as well as those with no technical training at all. We have clients ranging from do-it-yourselfers who manage their own websites to enterprise clients who receive a complete management package.

Do you build FLASH websites?

The answer is yes and no. For most clients, we discourage the use of flash. Flash may actually cause free traffic to your site to decrease! Additionally, flash is much more expensive, time consuming, and difficult to develop and maintain. Overall, flash just isn't practical for most businesses who want their website to be a profitable venture. In some cases, flash may do well to enhance specific aspects of a website, but should almost never be used for the entire website framework.

Do I need to layout my website design?

No. In fact doing so can actually reverse progress! Part of the reason our programs are successful is because we develop them from the ground up to meet our clients' vision while also taking advantage of our knowledge and expertise of effective marketing.
