| Q: How much does it cost to build and host a web site? |
 A: The price of a web site depends on its size,
complexity, graphics, and the amount of updating it requires after it's up and running. We specialize in building sites that our clients can update after they've launched, so they don't have to pay costly maintenance fees.
This type of site sometimes costs a little more to build, but it saves a lot of money over time because YOU can update your site, as much as you want, without having to contact us.
Here are some 'ballpark' figures:
■ If your site only needs a few web pages, some graphic design, and a
few updates per year, then it can cost between $2K - $4K to design and build, including a year of static hosting.
■ If your site needs many web pages, a lot of graphic design, and a few
updates per month, then it can cost between $5K - $7K to design and build, including a year of dynamic hosting with MyWebManager™ - the software that let's YOU update your
site, as much as you want, without having to contact us!
■ If your site requires a lot of web pages and/or products, a shopping
cart system, a lot of graphic design, and a lot of updates, then it can cost $8K or more to design and build, including a year of secure dynamic hosting with
MyWebManager™.
There are additional charges for extra "bells & whistles" like shockwave/flash animation, search engine marketing, banner advertising, membership area, chat room, web cam, and other features you may desire in the future.

| Q: What are "static" and "dynamic" web sites? |
 A: A "static" web site consists of
individual pages (like a word processor document) and is written completely by hand. A "dynamic" web site consists of page templates and the content is automatically inserted by the web server from a database.
When dealing with a lot of pages or content that changes frequently, it's more cost-effective to design a dynamic web site. Why? Because after the site is built its content can easily be updated through database
software, also known as a Content Management System (CMS) or Web Content Manager (WCM). And that's what MyWebManager™ is all about - a user-friendly
database system that lets YOU manage your site easily, without having to contact a Webmaster. Whether you need to fix a few typo's or change dozens of web pages, our software does it all - and the best part is - it's simple to
use! Click here for more information.

| Q: What is a Shopping Cart System and do I need one? |
 A: A Shopping Cart System (cart) makes online shopping fast, easy, and
accurate by letting customers browse and search a catalog of products or services to buy from. When the customer is done shopping, the cart will calculate the order total, add sales tax and shipping charges, and email receipts
to you and them. If you offer more than a few products or services, your web site should be equipped with a cart.
We offer basic to advanced Shopping Cart Systems at affordable prices.

| Q: How can I accept credit cards through my web site? |
 A: First you need a "Merchant Account" (if you
don't already have one) or a third-party payment processor. Then you need a secure shopping cart system or, at least, a secure (preferably 128-bit SSL) order form on your web site. We help our clients set up practical
and cost-effective IP (Internet Protocol) payment solutions for their business. And we run a safe and secure Unix server to put our clients at ease.
Since 1997 we've processed thousands of credit cards through our secure web server without a single incident of fraud. |
| Q: How long does it take to build a web site? |
 A: The time it takes to build a web site
depends on its size, complexity, and design. A simple site can take just a few days to build, while a more complicated one can take weeks.
We work closely with our clients to conceptualize their ideas and gather content for their site quickly. Then we begin designing and reviewing all stages of development for approval. And we take pride in finishing an
astonishing looking site by our estimated launch date.
We've been building sites since 1997, so we've got web site development down to a science! |
