The majority of the time spent developing a web site is spent in planning the
actual content of the individual web pages. Business web sites generally take
more planning and consideration than personal web sites. Each business is
uniquely different; the service sector is different than the manufacturing
sector, and retail is different than wholesale. In addition, each individual
business is striving to standout amongst the crowd by offering that little
something that the competition doesn't have. So, how long does it take
to develop a web site? It usually takes approximately 2 - 4 weeks to complete
the average business web site. Your image is very important to us. The
better we know your needs, the better you look to the world. Suffice to say, the
better your planning and organization, the easier our job, and the quicker the
web development. Sketch your plan out on paper and then give us a call.
If you need to add a hyperlink to another site or update a graphic on your
main page, we will be willing to do that for a reasonable fee. We also provide
in-house scanning services and graphic design services.
In addition, we also offer Site Maintenance

Yes, they will visit your web site if they know where you are located. It is
recommended that we register your web site with several of the major internet
search engines. We recommend Google, MSN AOL,Yahoo, WebCrawler, Lycos, and AltaVista. At this
time, these 7 search engines are free. Don't register with a search engine
until your web site has a permanent home. Another method of registering your web
site is to use a service called Submit-it; this service will charge you a fee
and will register your site with many major search engines on the internet.
Customers are more likely to return to your site if they can easily find your
address. Your domain name is an important first step in advertising your
business. See our FAQ on getting your own domain name.
We encourage you to supply us with whatever business advertising material you
may have. We can scan your business card or brochure and extract just the
portions you want to display on your web site. We can scan photographs and convert them into web graphic formats. We are also adept a creating clickable image maps and
thumbnail images of larger jpeg photographs. We put special emphasis on how fast
graphic images load in a browser. The faster a graphic image loads, the happier
your customers are.
Having the ability to sell your services and merchandise on your web site is
probably the main reason most people in business desire a web site.

Yes, it is possible to have a musical background on your web site. We
recommend that the audio file not encumber the loading of your web pages. MIDI
streaming allows your main page to load at a fairly normal rate and the musical
background to play immediately. There is a company called RealAudio for musical
background content. The musical
compositions are usually limited to non copyrighted material. Visit
RealAudio
to see if you want this feature added to you site.
There are several ways to keep you informed about the progress of web site
development. We prefer to inform you via email. We will also need to contact you
by phone for immediate advice on certain aspects of design or other matters. If
you have original art work for us to use, you will need to mail us the material.
We will want to know if the the material is copyrighted or not. In other words,
can we display the material on your web site without infringing on another
artist's copyright.
We will also have your web site (Under Construction)
and available for your viewing long before it is completed. If you do not have
space on your server for a web site, you will need to find a service that
provides enough space for your web site.
Once your web site is complete, we will transfer the
web site to any server you specify. In order for us to upload your web site to
another server, we will need to have your password permission and rights to
perform the transfer. You can always change your password protection later. Some
servers have limited support for web site development and access. If you can
afford your own domain name, you owe it to yourself to find a server that will
accommodate your current and future needs. One
that is also reasonably priced, reliable, and fast. Your server will have all the features that you desire, check out some of the features.
We can provide your website hosting for you at a very competitive rates and the
highest reliability and speeds.
