Quality Web Design for Business & Organizations

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Look at their past work. If you are pleased with the results that they have given to past clients then there is a great chance you will like the design they create for you.

What skills does the website developer have? Does the website design company offer "design only", or can they offer maintenance support after the website is developed? Can the website design company offer dynamic web development and database design?

Is the website design company a one-stop-shop? Be sure the website design company will be able to take your website from start to finish or will you need to look for other contractors to help finish the job. The total cost of the project will be less if you can work with one company.

Will the website design company offer references? If so CHECK THEM. Former clients will be able to tell you the true story. Here are few questions that you may want to ask when speaking to a reference:

* Did they meet deadlines?
* Were they flexible?
* Did they set and meet realistic goals for your project?
* Would they work with this firm again?

Will the website design company offer a written proposal? Be sure to agree on costs that will be incurred for the creation of the website and get a detailed estimate. Too many website design firms have a low price to get you working with them and then double or worse TRIPLE their price at the end.

Does the web design company understand your goals for YOUR website? It is important that your goals for the website are the same. Ensure that the website designer is aware of your objectives and target market. Remember, your website is an extension of your business and is a great marketing tool if used correctly.

Ask how the development process is handled. Make certain that you will be able to see the progress of your website and offer approval on each stage of the process. You don't want to start a project and then two months later be given the final website without ever seeing it along the way.

Will the website design company be able to handle the Search Engine Marketing after the website is completed? Be sure that the company you choose is able to continue working with you AFTER your website is completed. No sense in having a website unless you want to attract visitor. Right?

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. You don't need to spend thousands of dollars on SEO. It can be self implemented by taking the time to learn how it works and applying the principles to your website.

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. It's always good to have an idea of what you want in a website because it provides a starting point. But we'll work with folks who don't have this up front because it's exciting to help them develop the ideas.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. We offer very affordable design packages for small businesses, ministries and individuals, making it possible to have a professional web presence with minimal cost.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. We like providing a higher-than-anticipated return on investment for our clients. There's nothing like hearing "Wow, this is a lot better than I thought it would be!".

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. Can you really build my website for this price?
Yes!

Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?

A. A former workmate suggested I might be interested in doing websites. I found out I was!

Q. What are your most common types of jobs?

A. Our most common jobs are building new websites using WordPress, after which comes redesigning existing websites bringing them into the WordPress structure.

Q. Tell us about a recent job you did that you are particularly proud of.

A. Website for Ford model Lisa Phillips (www.lisaphillipsny.com). Lisa had been away from the business for a while and was getting back into it. She had a unique idea for a website that, surprisingly, no one else in the industry had thought of. It was great working with Lisa; she knew what she wanted and we were privileged to pull out all the stops in providing a site that went beyond even what she expected.
