How much does a web site cost?
There are quite a few factors that are going to affect the ultimate cost of your web site. These factors include how many pages you are going to have, if you will sell products on your website, the graphic work involved, and how interactive your future web site will be. You will also need web hosting and domain name registration. Our web design packages were created to develope cost-effective web sites with high quality design.
Do I need to hire a “local” web site designer?
We create web sites for clients who are local as well as out of state. By using the Internet, email and the telephone, it is possible to communicate effectively with clients in any location.
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 current client design schedule.
Can you help me fix my existing site?
Yes! We would be glad to help you fix your site. We use the latest in design software and programming languages, so we will be able to give your site the help and attention it deserves.
Do you consider page loading time, when you design a page or site?
Yes. You can have the most beautiful page or site on the Internet, but it will be useless if no one waits for it to load. We utilize color techniques, compression and several other techniques and technological exploits to minimize load time. We strive for all pages to be 40k or less (text and graphics) and for no single graphic to exceed 10k.
Does netDvision’s name and logo have to appear on the pages you design for me?
No. We like to put our name on the site, so others can easily determine who designed and built the page or site. When clients include a “credits” or “colophon” page in their site, we like to be listed there, as well. This is solely to the discretion of our client and it won’t affect the amount of our fee, regardless of the decision.
Do we need to sign a contract or get lawyers involved to use your design services?
No. We tried to make doing business with us very easy and simple. When you place your order for a special package web site or accept our quotation to supply a custom designed site, you agree to our terms of use and our acceptable conduct policies.
What is a URL?
It stands for “universal resource locator”. This is the address typed in to view your web page on the Internet. For example, you would type in http://www.netDvision.com to access
our home page.
What is a domain name?
A domain name is a specific web site address that you choose for your site. It can have the extensions .com, .org, .edu, .cc, .tv, .net, .bz, .biz, .info, .us
What is web hosting?
Web hosting is a monthly fee that you pay to have your site accessible on the Internet. We can provide hosting for our clients.
I am currently hosted with a different company and would like to switch over to netDvision, how do I do this?
Just fill out an inquiry and we will take care of everything. We will transfer your domain name along with all of your existing web sites content.
Can I choose you to design my site but choose another web host?
Yes.
What is site maintenance?
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.
Do you offer any type of discounts?
Yes, we offer discounts for schools and non profit organizations.
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. We suggest you contact our Advertising department for questions on search engine submissions.
What size screen resolution do you design your websites for?
Most sites are designed for 640 x 480 or 800 x 600 depending on your target.
Is my site going to be designed with only Internet Explorer in mind?
No. You should have also noticed that our site could be viewed by your Netscape, or other brand of, browser, too. Our designs consider all the major browsers, as well as their legacy versions.
