How does all this work?

Good question!  Having been a Project Manager for some time, I learned the value of Process.  You can learn about our time proven process from our process page where we explain things in more detail.

 

What’s the cost of web development?

Another good question!  Website design and development costs vary depending on a number of factors, just like the cost of a car may vary depending on the year, make, model, and options you select.  Most our our website projects generally start in the $4,000 range for basic business sites and range upward depending on your unique needs.

How long does it take to build a website?

Naturally the honest answer here is “it depends.”  The time it takes to produce a website depends on the size and complexity of your site and the quality of content that you already have prepared and available to use.  To give you a ballpark estimate, a basic website typically takes around 4 to 6 weeks from beginning to end.

What is a domain name and do I need one?

A domain name is your address on the internet. Typically this would be something like yourcompany.com.  In the case of our website the domain name is prosperaunlimited.com.  There are a number of extensions available from which you can choose (.com, .edu, .org, .net, .me and the list goes on).  We can talk about how to select a good domain name in more detail as we go through the proposal and solution process.

To answer your other question, YES, you do need a domain name.  We can make that easy for you, so talk to us about getting your very own domain if you don’t already have one.

What is web hosting and do I need that?

Web hosting is a service that allows your website to be viewed on the Internet. It’s basically a computer housed in a data center that runs your website and, if you choose, your web email.  It’s what makes your website show up on the internet.

YES, you do need web hosting, and again we can help with that.  No worries!

Will a website you create work on phones and tablets?

Absolutely. All the websites we design work on many types of devices – from iPhones and iPads to Android phones and tablets, as well as regular desktop and laptop computers. Depending on your requirements we can design and develop your site using responsive design so that the site is optimized for today’s wonderful mobile devices.

Do you do eCommerce and Online Store websites?

Yes.  For sure.  Please keep in mind that there will be additional time and costs associated with building this type of website, but that’s to be expected.

I don’t know how to work on my website. Do you provide training?

Yes.  Absolutely.  We provide several types of training for our clients.  There is a learning curve, but you’ll catch right on.  There are several training resources available for you to download too.

Can you help me with Social Media and E-Mail Marketing?

We sure can!  Social media and e-mail marketing are two integral parts of most websites.  Especially those sites who want to attract clients, build an e-mail marketing list, and generate interest in their business.  Social media and e-mail marketing can also be used effectively by pastors and churches to reach out to the community and keep in touch with parishioners.

Talk to us about your desire for social media and e-mail marketing and we can build those services into your project quote.

What is a Content Manage System (CMS)?

A Content Management System (CMS) is a very useful tool which allows you to maintain the pages of your website yourself, without the need for programming or technical skills. With a CMS you can edit and add pages, images, products or blog entries to your website. No additional software is required – all you need is a web browser and an internet connection.

We use a premier CMS tool as the infrastructure of our new website builds.  It’s easy to learn and a snap to use.  You will like it!

What’s SEO (Search Engine Optimization) all about?

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization.  It is all about elevating your website higher up in the search results on search engines like Google, Bing, or Yahoo.  When your website shows up close to the top of the search results page you are more likely to get more traffic (and customers) to your website.

There are many aspects that go into achieving good SEO, and one of the most important is the copy (words) on your website. When you write articles and blog posts for your website, remember to focus on well written, keyword rich, appropriate content.

Do you write the content for my website?

No, I don’t directly write your content, however if you need help with this we, I may be able to put you in contact with a copywriter who specializes in writing for the web, or give you tips on searching for a copywriter who could assist you with content.

Will you design my business/website logo?

No.  Logo design is not my strong suit.  I try to focus on what I’m good at – designing and building websites.  If if you need someone to create  your logo, however, I may be able to provide some resources or places to search for  graphic designers who specialize in logos and branding.
