FAQs

Next, decide what you want your website to do.  Is it going to be an informational website, a personal profile website, and eCommerice website or the typical website in which we tell the customer about you, why you are in business, your business phylosophy, how to contact you and your business hours. 

Next, you will need to decide what you want your website to look like.  We have several options, depending on how involved you want to be in the design process.  Some clients are artistic and know exactly what they want and to be very involved with the process, providing photographs, basically designing the site, telling me how they want it to look and then approving the finished page(s) as I finish them.  This process takes longer, but since I do not charge you by the hour, but by the page, this would not be a problem for your financial budget and if your time budget is flexible, we will be ok with that process.  Another option is for me to design a template for you that will be the basis for your entire website.  I charge $500 for a template design.  Our third option is for me to use a template that I already own and have not previously used for another client and personalizing it for you.  I have thousands in my possession and most of the time, there is one that is suitable for every client.

It is helpful for me if you can find 8-10 websites you like the looks of so I can get a feel for what your taste is. You might find a website that you like only one thing on, that is ok, we can use the idea from that site and combine it with other ideas to make your website your own.   Many times, I use a combination of several templates to achieve the look and feel of the client.  Remember, I do not call it finished until you are satisfied with it.  If you do not like what you see, or a portion of what you see, please tell me, I will not stop until you are happy.

Armed with the above information, I begin designing your website.  Once I get it done, I upload it to a test site for you to view it online and either approve it or tell me what changes you want done.  Once you are happy with the site, we go live.  I load your site with tags that will make you easy to find on the web.  We can get you to the number one listing in the search engines, but this usually is expensive and if your budget is tight, the meta tags I load in will help the process, probably not the number 1 spot, but at least in the first one to two pages.  Most people will only look at the first two - three pages in the search results.

What kind of service after the sale do you offer?

I have several packages I can offer you.  If your website will not change much after it is designed, we can do an annual update if needed.  The cost of this package will depend on how extensive your updates are.  Some clients have me completely re-design their website every one to two years.  This will be about the same cost of the original design.  If you only have a change or two, such as the addition or subtraction of a product or a few products, this could cost as little as $25, depending on what you have me do. 

If you need for me to do daily, weekly or monthly updates, this will be charged on a, per page price and depend on what is on the page.  Many clients find that it is more to their advantage to contract with me to be their webmaster.  In this case, you will pay me a monthly charge which will be determined by the number of updates and the frequency of the updates.  If you do not have the time or ability to do these updates yourself, this is advantageous to you to have me do it.  The contract will be done on an annual basis, beginning with the date your site goes live.  At the end of the first year, you will have the choice to retain me as your webmaster or to find and hire another webmaster.  The contract between my client and me is a legal and binding contract and will be honored by both parties for the duration of the contract.  I will not dishonor any contract I make, nor do I expect my client to do so either.  If I contract with you, I will depend on your payment to be made on time so that I can continue to do business and pay my expenses.  You may upgrade your contract at any time, but may not downgrade it until the current contract is up.

You can call me or email me at any time and let me know of the updates you want and it will become a priority and will be completed as quickly as is possible.  I sleep very little, and work as many hours a day as is necessary to make sure the needs of my clients are met.

How do you get paid?

I do not have a checking account, so I cannot accept personal checks.  I can accept company checks however.  I prefer cash,cashier's check,  money order, or Quick Collect or Money Gram.  I cannot accept credit card payments, but if you have a netspend account, I can accept card to card transfer.  I can get you set up on netspend if you want.  I have an account with them, and Western Union.  I do not have a PayPal account at this time because it requires a checking account and I choose not to have one.
