| How
much does a web site cost? |
There
are quite a few factors that are going to affect the cost
of
your site. For example, how many pages
you are going to have,
the amount of graphic work that is required,
and don't forget the
cost for your domain name (web address) registration. In
addition
you will also need an WSP ( Web Service
Provider ) that will host
your site and domain.

| How
do I get a web site design cost quote? |
If you already have a web
site but want a "makeover" of your
existing site, you will need to
provide us with your url (web site
address) and some details of what your goals
and objectives are.
If you do not yet have a web site, and you believe
that your web
site will be more than 2-3
pages, we will generally ask you to
forward a copy of all of
the materials you plan to use (written
content,photos, any specific graphics you plan to use,
etc.) to us
so that we may review them.
In either case, the more information you can
provide us with the
better wewill be able to assist you. After reviewing
your materials
or current web site, we will provide you with
a written quote and
send it to you either by email or snail mail.
If you would like a web site design
quote or if you are not sure
what you would like to have done but
have some questions,please

| How
long does it take to have a web site designed? |
Your web site design time frame will be determined by
3 factors:
- The size of your web site.
- The amount of pages, graphics, scanning, complexity,
etc.
of your site.
- Our current client design schedule.
Our next available date to start a project can change
on a day-2-
day basis. So, after you have gathered together
all your website
information and are ready to begin,we will give you an
estimate of
your design time schedule, maintenance. |

| How
does the web site design process work? |
We have found that one of the most commonly
asked questions from our future clients is, "How
do I get from start to finish in the development of my
website?" It's for that reason that we decided
to prepare a basic outline of the web design process.
Remember
that developing an effective web
site takes careful
thought and planning. What you put into the
planning stages will
ultimately be reflected in the end product.
Your future web site is your
on-line advertisement and careful
planning with the creation of great content will
aid in the success
of your web site.
Make
note of any preferences (including
likes and dislikes) you
have about your future web site' style
or layout. If you know of
any web sites that display any of these preferences, make
sure to
provide them to us at the time we prepare a quote for
you.
Create
a list of categories for
subject areas that you wish to
cover in your web site.
Using
the list of subject categories you created,
gather together
all the information and any specific
photos, logos, etc. you that
you would like to use. Remember
that all content/information
should be written exactly the way
that you like it to appear on
your web site.
After
we received confirmation that your quote
is acceptable,
we will send you a package with materials that you will
need to fill
out, sign and send back to us
along with a deposit check in the
amount of 50% of the quoted price. In addition, you will
also need
to send us any logos, photos, original artwork,
etc., that need to
be scanned.
After
we receive your materials and deposit, we
will schedule an
approximate start date for your design process to begin.
When
your web site is completed, we
will upload your web site
files to a temporary location on our server.
At this point you will
need to take some time & review your web site thoroughly.
While
you are reviewing your website, you will need to make
note of any
changes, additions, corrections, etc. that you would like
to make.
Once you have compiled your entire list of changes, etc.,
you will
need to send it to us via email.
Upon
receiving your list, we will make all your requested
changes
to your web site. After they are completed
we will load these
changes up to the temporary directory we created
on our server
and notify you that they are completed.
It's
time for the final review, so you may
again review your web
site and send us a list of any final adjustments
you wish to make.
After the final adjustments are
done ( if any ) we are ready to
move on to next step.
At
this point, we will prepare your final invoice and
send it to you.
Upon our receipt of your final payment,
we will then upload your
web site to your website server.
Should
you decide to have Your Web Designer
promote your site
to search engines, directories, etc., we will begin
to do so at this
time. |

| Where
do I get information & graphics to put on my web site? |
Making a successful site is synonymous with
making it unique and
original. It is for that reason, along
with copyright infringement
issues, that you should develop your
own written materials. In
addition, you may also wish to supplement your materials
by asking
your company, organization, suppliers, and / or
franchisers if they
would allow you to incorporate
some of their marketing and / or
promotional information into your web site.
Many people think that anything on the web is "fair
game" and may
be copied. After spending time
and money to develop materials,
content, and graphics for a web
site, would you like someone to
come along and take them without
asking and use them for their
own benefit? Most likely you would not.
When you are gathering together your web site materials,
it is more
important to remember where you should not
obtain your web site
information and graphics from.
You should never take or copy
graphics, information or content from another person
or company's
web site without first receiving written permission
from the owner
of the materials.
So where do you get the information
and graphics for your site?
The answer is clear. Write the
content yourself and/or only use
information that you have written permission
to use. This may not
be the easiest way to put your web site information
together, but
it is the best. The end result will
be an original web site that is
uniquely you. As far as graphics are concerned,
keep them unique
by having Your Web Designer create
original graphics and / or
obtain the proper permissions to
use company logos, and / or
graphics.
Don't take the easy way out-be original-be unique - be
successful!

What
if my web site needs regular maintenance or updating? |
We provide that service to you, however, keep
our updating fees
reasonable. In addition, we always
try to complete any general
maintenance type items that you may request
in a timely fashion.

| What
is a domain name? |
A domain name is your own
unique web site address. It can be
anything that you want, so long as that unique web site
address is
available. For example, our domain name is spicktech.com
Currently
you see many domain names ( web site
addresses ) that
end in .com, .net, .gov and .org but there
are many new domain
name suffixes that are in the works for the future such
as:
.biz
for businesses
.name for individuals
.pro for professionals
.museum for museums
.coop for business cooperatives
.areo for the aviation industry
Two
letter domains such as .ca, .jp, .de, .cc,
.tv and many more
are country code top level domains like .co.in for INDIA
; .co.uk for
United Kingdom. The domains correspond to
a specific geographic
location, territory or country. Rules
for their use vary greatly and
some may only be used by citizens of the respective
country etc.

Should
I have a domain name for my web address? |
We highly recommend that you get
a domain name. Without a
domain name, your web site address will be connected
to someone
else's domain name which leaves
you with very little control and
may create problems for you down the road.
Starting
off with your own domain name is the
best choice rather
than beginning without one. Changing
your web site address at a
later date can be a costly
and time consuming project.
This
includes re- promoting your site on-line and off-line,
reprinting your
business cards/promotional materials, and much more.
Another
important point is the fact that a domain name is easier
for
people to remember! Get your own domain
name and avoid future
disasters. It is well worth the money!

| |
| What's
more important - page loading time or looking good? |
They both are important. Your web site is
your on-line storefront.
It should be attractive to
visitors and project a professional,
polished image for yourself and your company/organization.
Having
too many graphics, or slow loading graphics is unnecessary.
If your
page takes too long to load it doesn't matter how
great that 100K
graphic looks, many people won't
wait and will leave your site
before it has time to finish loading.The answer is to
have a balance
of attractive graphics, good layout, and reasonable load
time.
