 Professional,
Effective Design
You need to know that your business is getting the most
for its dollar. As you evaluate the value delivered by
your Design Professional and website, here are a few things
to consider:
 |
Working
With the Designer
Are you talking to the person who will actually do the work on your site, or
to a salesman? Many 'full service shops' are actually little more than brokers,
matching your needs with an appropriate sub-contractor. Of course, this unecessary
layer between you and the site creator can reduce design flexibility and increase
the cost of your project.
Clear
and Concise Navigation
When customers arrive at your site, are they faced with
too many decisions? Is it clear where to find the information
they need quickly?
Optimized
Graphics
You may have a great looking site, but if your pages take too long to download,
you are at risk of losing your customers to the competition.
No
'Splash' Page
Unless you are selling creativity instead of tangible
products, that impressive animated short introduction
to your site could repel 25% of your potential customers.
Are you one of the few businesses for whom a splash page
is a good idea? Follow this
link for the pros and cons.

Browser
Compatibility
All Internet browsers are not created equal. The fact is that browser display
and interpretation vary by manufacturer and even by version. Are you getting
a site that will maintain the intended "look and feel" across multiple
platforms?
Reliable & Secure
E-Commerce
The Internet is a complex web of hardware & software. Are your customers
assured peace of mind when submitting their credit card information online? Are
you paired with a reputable online credit card processing service?
Dynamic
Websites
Is your Web Professional purely a graphical designer or do
they have the ability to create database-driven websites
that you can update yourself through an admin control panel?

long list of links to sites we created. For a few representative

Hosting
Services
The Internet can allow you to offer your products & services to
your customers 24 hours a day, every day of the year...except when your site
is down because your hosting company's servers are down. Are you teamed with a
reliable hosting company? Are they easy to contact and helpful when things go wrong?

To
compliment our development services, we offer a variety of
Hosting
plans that are value priced and packed
with features, as well as maintenance plans to keep your
site current without breaking the bank.
Site
Promotion & Ranking
A great majority of site traffic on the Internet comes by means of Search Engine
referrals. Does your site rank high on the engines? Is it continually reviewed
and updated to maintain rank? Does your Website Design Professional provide you
with ranking reports? Analysis
of Traffic Trends
Site Traffic Reports are a valuable marketing tool.
Do you have access to this information? Do you know
who is visiting your site, when they are visiting,
and how often they return? What are the peak usage
times? How many visits do you receive per month? What
is the difference between hits and visits?
Rates
Our design estimates are priced by the project. Basic sites start as low as $750,
but most projects are priced between $1,500 and $10,000. Although our estimates
are based on an hourly rate, the price you are quoted will not be subject to
change unless your specifications for the project change during the development
process. To arrange for an initial consultation, please Contact
Us. |
