How much does it cost to setup a web site?
The first step is to secure your domain. We handle that for you at no charge. There is however, a $70.00 fee charged by Internic for the initial registration of your domain name. Your domain name will be renewable at a rate of $35.00 per year after the first two years.
There is a monthly charge for hosting your site on a server. Prices vary depending on the features required for your site. (We will be happy to help you chose the appropriate server... Unix or Windows NT.)
Design costs vary from site to site with many determining factors involved. For an accurate quote call us at 337-739-3576 or click here to use or online information request form.
How many pages will I need?
Every business has different needs. We will determine how many pages you need after learning more about your company and goals. We have clients with sites consisting of a single page and others whose sites are over 1000 pages.
Will everyone see my web site the same?
Users will see some things differently depending on their browser and screen resolution setting. We design sites with that in mind and preview them in several browser types and resolution settings before publishing.
What will my web site address be?
Your web address will be: www.yourdomainname.com.
Who actually owns my web site?
When we register your domain, the person you designate will be listed as the administrative and billing contact. You are the owner of your web site.
Will my web site show in the first listings on the search engines?
We will optimize your site for search engines and list you with the major ones, however getting to the top takes time and often resubmission is necessary. We will help you get there, just remember it takes time and work to accomplish that.
Can I maintain my web site myself?
You sure can and we are glad to help you learn how.
Do I have a say in what my web site looks like?
Definitely! As a matter of fact we insist on it. Your web site is your image on the web and only you know what is perfect for your company. We will publish your site in progress regularly (at a secret address that only you and we know) so you can give us your input all through the design process.
How will people find my web site?
We will list your site on the major search engines and encourage you to put your world wide web address on everything you can... i.e.: advertisements, business cards, letterhead, checks, fax cover sheets, etc. There are also many banner exchange programs you can get involved in, depending on the type of business you have.
How soon can I expect return from web site?
Most of the search engines take 2 to 4 weeks to list your site. With a small amount of print, radio or TV advertising it can begin immediately!
How can I keep track of the traffic at my web site?
If you use our host server of choice you will have access to statistics that will tell you how many visitors you have had, what time they visited, what part of the world they are from, how long they spent, which of your pages they viewed, etc. This is a service that is essential to promote and build a successful web site.
How long will it take to have my web site created?
What usually takes the longest is gathering the necessary information. Once we have the material we need it goes quickly. Most sites are up within two to four weeks.
