Frequently Asked Questions:

Three components are required to display a web page to potential customers. First, you need a domain name or address where your visitors can find you. Second, you need a web site. A web site is a group of documents, photos and other files which are formatted so that web browsers can read them. Finally, you need to put these documents on a web server. A web server is a computer that is hooked up to the internet 24/7 using software that is specifically designed to manage web sites, mail and other internet activity. The web server is visited by many visitors doing many tasks at any one time and so it must be both powerful and redundant.

What is a domain name?
A domain name is like a postal address. Humans type in a word formatted domain name and computers then translate it into a numeric address. Registration is required because someone has to keep track of all of the addresses on the internet.

What is a URL?
A Uniform Resource Identifiers (URL) is a specific address typed into the browser window. It is a combination of a domain name and other identifiers that instruct the web server on what to display.

What is a web site?
A web site is a group of documents, photos and other file types that are formatted so that browsers can read them. It contains Javascript and HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) files that display and layout the web site. It will have jpg, gif and png image files which are the only image formats recognized by most browsers. PDF files are also part of a web site and will be displayed in Adobe Acrobat when opened through a browser. Depending on the type of interactivity, your web site will have “scripts” which tell the browser what to display and what to do with information provided by the user.

What is a web server?
A web server is a computer that his hooked up to the internet 24/7 using software that is specifically designed to manage web sites, mail and other internet activity. It directs request for a domain name to the right web site files, it routes incoming and outgoing mail to the proper recipient and it maintains the flow of data between the user’s web browser and information stored on the computer. Because the web server is visited by many visitors doing many tasks at any one time during a 24 hour day, it must be both powerful and redundant. Our web servers have redundant hardware and duplicate connections to the internet to provide an uptime of 99.5%. In addition, our servers are backuped nightly to prevent data loss in the event of a computer failure.

What kinds of designs do you create?
We can create most any kind of design, from a simple personal site to a complex professional business site. For examples, please visit our portfolio page.

What is the process involved in creating a design?
First we will listen to your needs to determine what you want to accomplish on the web site. Second, we will make some minor suggestions and recommendations to further explore your needs. Next, we will do some research to find the best solution for your web site design. We will ask you to send us the URLs of the sites that you like. Then we’ll ask you to provide some basic recommendations for your site such as a name for your domain, colors, themes, etc. Your input helps us to determine what you like and gives us a starting point for the initial design of your site. Finally, we will put together a final recommendation which lists web pages, functionality and features to be approved by you.

Can you create custom graphics for my site?
Yes. Our graphic designers can easily create custom graphics and logos for your site. We are trained graphic design professionals with a back ground in fine arts.

Can you add sound to my site?
Yes. We can provide simple sounds that interact with the user as they travel through the web site. We also can stream large audio files like MP3s for playback of songs. We do not recommend using large sound files for interactive display on your web site unless it is done through Flash. Large audio files take up a lot of bandwidth and therefore take a lot of time to download.

Can you add Flash to my site?
Yes. We currently offer simple use of Flash on sites. We must point out however that Flash can hinder your site's ability to be indexed in the search engines and found by people who use them to search for web sites like yours. At Webdesigners, we are committed to cutting out designer ‘fluff’ and ‘fillers’ in order to deliver quick, clean, high quality, user friendly sites. Our goal is to make your web site both user and search engine friendly.

Your custom design prices are too high for me, do you have any other alternatives available?
Yes. We are very flexible and sensitive to your needs. We base our fees on the amount of time we think it will take us to develop the design and features on the web site. Please let us know where you think that we can revisit our proposed solution. In addition, we offer budget and brochure web site design. The lower cost options are based on do-it-yourself web site templates and hosting. For more information, please visit Electric Foundry.

How much do your web design services cost?
Our costs vary depending on what services you need. We suggest you visit our quotes page to begin thinking about what services you need. We then suggest you call or email us to obtain a more specific quote. We take a customized approach to each web site and can find a solution that fits into your budget.

Do you offer a guarantee for your web design services?
Yes. We offer 100% satisfaction for all our web design services. We guarantee our work for 6 months to ensure that everything is functioning properly and the customer is satisfied. Our web sites are built to stand the test of time.

How long will it take for you to complete my site?
It really depends on how much is involved, how many pages need to be built, how quickly we obtain content from you and when approvals are made. For most web sites we estimate that it will take two weeks or less.

Will I be able to see my site while you are working on it?
Yes. We have a special area set up on our server where we will upload various parts of your site as they are completed for you to review and approve. Once you have approved the final draft, we can go live.

Do you have an update and maintenance service?
Yes. While our web sites are robust and require little maintenance, we offer web site updates and maintenance services with a unique pricing structure. You only pay when you need those services and only for the time it takes us to accomplish your site updates or maintenance. In addition, we can provide a solid quote before we make any of the changes you may need.
