| Frequently asked questions |
How much does a website cost? There are quite a few factors that are going to affect the ultimate cost of your web site. How many pages you are going to have, if you will sell products on your website, the graphic/flash work involved, and how interactive your future web site will be. You will also need to purchase your domain name and a web hosting package. Do I need to hire a web site designer near me? Definately not. Most of our clients we have never met and have communicated effectively through emails or phone. How long does it take to have a web site designed? The time frame is determined by the size of your web site, the complexity of your site design, and our client schedule. 2 weeks (sometimes less) seems about average if both parties involved are prepared with their ideas and site content. If you have a deadline in mind we will endeavour to meet it for you. The most common delay in the creation and completion of a new website is waiting for content (text/images) to be sent to us by the client. What is a domain name? A domain name is a specific web site address that you choose and register online. Our domain name is "webdawgdesigns.com". Can I choose you to design my site and use my own web hosting? Definately, you can use any web host you like. You will need to provide us with your web hosting ftp login username and password so that we can upload your website for you. We've had some difficulty with designers that also host the sites for their clients, not wanting anyone else to work on the sites they've made. This can sometimes cause hardship and it's preferable that you keep control of your website and hosting incase you decide to move to another designer. What is web hosting? Web hosting is a monthly fee that you pay to have your site accessible on the Internet. It's like paying for your space. What is site maintenance? Site maintenance is a fee paid monthly to keep your site updated with new content that you provide. Most good web sites have new content updated regularly. Fresh content is what will keep your visitors coming back. This is an optional service that we provide for our customers. If you want to maintain your website yourself you can do so. Why can't I find my web site in the search engines? Once your site has been submitted to the top Search Engines they may require several weeks, or even months to actually spider and list your web site in their directory. How fast your site is listed depends on each individual Search Engines database update schedule. Watch your server traffic logs for visiting spiders. WebDawg Designs submits your site to all of these search engines at the completion of your website. Am I tied to WebDawgs for any site maintenance or updates I wish to do once my website is designed? No, once your website is designed it belongs to you and you can commission anyone to update it for you - although of course we would like to think that you are happy with our services and will continue to use us for your website maintenance. How many pages can I have on my web site?
Why choose WebDawgs for our website design company? what qualities do the websites designed by WebDawgs have ? We design websites that are user-friendly. Websites that are visually appealing, creative in design and also have great functionality.
