| 1. What information
will Prestige Web Design need to develop my Web site? |
| |
Prestige Web Design provides a Web
Site Preparation Checklist to customers at our initial free consultation
meeting. The more information and materials from the list you can
provide, the shorter the information gathering phase will be. |
|
|
2. What steps
are involved in creating a Web site?
|
| |
Prestige Web Design's proven Ten
Step Process involves customers at each key step. |
|
|
| 3. How long will
it take to create my Web site? |
| |
Once your project has been scheduled,
work has commenced, and you have provided various source materials
for the site, the time to complete most small business sites ranges
between 2 and 6 weeks depending on size and complexity. Sites with
extensive e-commerce and/or database features typically take longer. |
|
|
| 4. How much will
my Web site cost? |
| |
The cost of developing a Web site depends on many
factors including the number of Web pages, graphic design characteristics,
page content, completeness of the materials you provide, extent
of e-commerce and custom database programming required. You can
expect to pay anywhere from $50 to $250 per page depending on these
factors.
In addition one-time developmental expenses, there
will be expenses for Search
Engine Optimization, domain name registration, hosting, and
maintenance.

6. How will my
Web site be found once it's published on the Web?
|
| |
To drive traffic to your site from the Internet,
it is essential that it be registered with the major Internet search
engines. Hundreds of thousands of people use search engines daily
to find specific products and services. When keywords and phrases
are entered in a search engine, they typically produce hundreds
of Web sites that match the keywords. Unless your site appears in
the top 20-30 sites listed, it will probably never be seen.
The competition to achieve high search engine rankings
is so great today that simply submitting a site for listing by popular
search engines is generally insufficient (unless your business is
so unique that only a few others will use the same keywords and
descriptive phrases). The only way to assure your site will be actually
be seen is to optimize it for each search engine separately. See
Search Engine Optimization
for additional details.
In addition to the search engines, conventional means
of marketing, promotion, and advertising also can bring prospects
to your Web site. Once you have a site, all of your stationary,
business forms, business cards, and signage should be changed to
include your Web site address.

|
7. How do I find out if a particular
domain name is available? |
| |
Domain name availability can be determined
at VeriSign. Follow the directions given there. |
|
|
| 8. How can I sell
products from my Web site? |
| |
Your Web site can feature your products
with descriptions, pictures and pricing in an enticing fashion. We
can integrate an online store
into your Web site that will make it convenient for your customers
to purchase products and services with credit cards. If you presently
do not already have a merchant account that permits you to accept
payment with credit cards, we will help you obtain one. Major banks
and other card service companies offer merchant accounts. |
|
|
| 9. How are credit
card transactions secured? |
| |
Credit card transactions are processed
by a Secure Server. This provides encryption of your customers' personal
data before it leaves their computer. The data is protected from unauthorized
use since only the secure server has the unique encryption key needed
to decode it. |
|
|
| 10. How does
Prestige Web Design protect personal data submitted from its Web site? |
| |
Prestige Web Design adheres to a Privacy
Policy that prohibits the dissemination and sale of any information
collected from its Web site. |
|
|
| 11. Can Prestige Web Design use
my existing hosting company? |
| |
Prestige Web Design can use any hosting company provided
they meet these minimal standards:
24 x 7 technical support and server monitoring
High-speed, redundant connections to Internet backbone
NT Servers with ISS 4.0 or better
FTP file access
SQL Server 7.0 or better
Access/SQL Server Databases
Robust site statistics package
Forms processing and CGI
ASP Page Support
Front Page 2000 Extension Support
Shopping Cart with simple interface requirements
Secure Server
Network security and a security policy
Interface to automated online transaction agency
Comprehensive Web site traffic analyzer.
Noncompliance may lower the availability, reliability,
and security of your Web site, and increase its development and
maintenance costs.
|
|
|
| 12. After my Web site
is complete, how will I maintain it? |
| |
Prestige Web Design offers several maintenance programs as explained
under Maintenance or
we can train you to perform limited self-maintenance. After your
site is complete, you should budget for ongoing maintenance to ensure
that your investment in it is protected. You company's Web site
needs to keep pace with your business and its content remain fresh
to continue to attract visitors.
