Web Design FAQ

Question: How much does a web site cost?
Answer: There are quite a few factors that are going to affect the ultimate cost of your web site. These factors include how many pages you are going to have, which features are you interested in, do you want a content management system so you can update your site without having to hire a web designer, will you be selling products on your web site, the graphic work involved, and how interactive your future web site will be. You may also need web hosting and domain name registration. Prices start out at $1000.00 for a small web site.

Question: Do I need to hire a "local" web site designer?
Answer: We create web sites for clients who are local as well as out of state. By using the Internet, email and the telephone, it is possible to communicate effectively with clients in any location.

Question: How long does it take to have a web site designed?
Answer: The time frame is determined by the size of your web site, the complexity of your site design, and our current client design schedule. We can often build a small to medium sized web site in about two to three weeks once we have received all materials from our client.

Question: What is web hosting?
Answer: Web hosting is a monthly fee that you pay to have your site accessible on the Internet. We can provide web hosting for our clients.

Question: I am currently hosted with AnotherFirm.com and would like to switch over to Hoover Web Design. How do I do this?
Answer: Just fill out an inquiry and we will take care of everything. We will transfer your domain name along with all of your existing web sites content.

Question: Can I choose you to design my site and use my own web hosting?
Answer: Yes.

Question: Do you offer web site maintenance?
Answer: Yes, we recommend you update your site regularly - fresh content is what will keep your visitors coming back.

Question: Do you offer any type of discounts?
Answer: Yes, we offer discounts for schools and non profit organizations.

Question: Why can't I find my web site in the search engines?
Answer: Just building a web site, optimizing your Meta tags and submitting it won't get you top rankings any more. There is a lot more work required to gain and sustain a top ten position these days.

Question: We already have a web site, can you help us get a top position in the search engines without building a new site?
Answer: Absolutely! We may have to perform some "web site optimization", but that doesn't mean that it will cost you a lot of money to get your site ready for some aggresive Internet marketing. We'll show you how it can be done.

Question: Web Site Content - What Do I Put On My Site?
Answer: That would depend on the goals of your web site. If you run a business web site you would include as much information about your products or services that your customers would need to purchase from you.

Question: I've made my decision - I want you to design my web site. Now what do I do?
