Frequently Asked Questions About Website Design
I get asked many different questions, so I've posted the more common ones below.
How much is a website going to cost?
There are a number of factors that are going to help determine the cost of your web site. These factors include how many pages you are going to have, the amount of graphic work required, if your site will require a photo gallery and how interactive it will be. You should have your website optimized for search engines (SEO). You will also require a web host (someone who hosts your site) and a domain name ( ie. www.holzman.ca)
How long does it take to get a website?
It depends on the size of your website and what is required.
What do you need from me?
I design custom websites that reflect my clients' needs so I welcome all input from you. Tell me about your products or services, photos you want to use and if you have existing marketing materials such as business cards and flyers. Think about what you would want your customer or viewer to see.
What is SEO or Search Engine Optimization?
This is all about getting your site highly ranked and visible in search engine results. Optimizing a website primarily involves editing its content and coding to increase its relevance to specific keywords and to encourage search engines to index web pages. Websites with relevant content usually rank higher than those without.
What is website maintenance and do you perform it?
Yes I do site maintenance for a number of clients. I will keep your website updated with new content that you provide and this will encourage your visitors to come back.
What if I want to maintain my website myself?
I have clients who maintain their own websites. I've set them up with no-cost, easy to use software and have taught them how to use it. I am always available for consultation.
I already have a website. Can you update it for me?
Yes, I'd be happy to look at your existing website and discuss your needs with you.
What about Social Media?
What is social media? It combines social interaction, technology, communications and networking and is becoming a major component of online marketing. Millions of people are using blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and YouTube to name a few. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media. Let me know if I can help you reach a broader audience.
