others whose sites are extensive.

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.

Are there any hidden charges for your website design or optimization
services?
No! Once we have all the information about your requirements you
will be given a price and that price will stand firm for both the
website design and the optimization, if required. The only time a
given price would change is if you want another page or any other
material added before completion of the website.

My current web
site is not getting any results. What can you do?
We will re-evaluate your entire web site and make necessary
changes. Many web sites fail within the first year due to serious
flaws in strategy, design, and implementation. If you already have
a web site and you're not getting the results you need, let us
re-evaluate your entire web effort. We'll develop a detailed plan
to get your web site on track and see that it gets results for
you.

owner of your web site.

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.

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 4 to 6 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?
We can
subscribe you to a service which will enable you to track visitors to
your site in real time on the web or have reports e-mailed to you on a
regular basis. This 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.
