Frequently Asked Web Design Questions

Web Site Content - What Do I Put On My Site? That would depend on the goals of your web site. If you run a business website you would include as much information about your products or services that your customers would need to purchase from you. Keep in mind-search engines love content, so the more you can say the better. Include your keywords and key phrases throughout, especially near the top.

Can I see the website while it is being made? Yes. I will provide you with a private web address where you can watch the progress of your website as it's being built and let me know if there are changes you'd like.

Can I update my website myself? Yes you can, as long as you have knowledge of html and have an FTP program. Please note that if you opt for any form of self-management, this is entirely at your own risk.

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 my current client design schedule. It will also depend on how long it takes for you to get needed material to me.

Do I submit your website to the search engines every month? No. Once your website is listed in the search engines, there's really no need to submit the site again - unless you've been banned for whatever reason, then you would want to fix whatever it was that got you banned and submit again. Submitting your website over and over to the search engines will not help, and could actually hurt your rankings.

Who owns the copyright to my website? You own it, however, I retain the right to use an image of your web site on any part of this web site (Portfolio page) as a representation of my work, as well as a live link to your web site. Both of these conditions work to your advantage, as it will help the search engines find your web site.

What is "Web Maintenance/Management" ? Maintenance is a fee paid to keep your site updated with new content which you provide. Most good web sites have new content updated regularly. Fresh content is what will keep your visitors coming back.

I have hard copy photos or digital images to send to you. Hard copies (images that you send me via postal mail) will be scanned and uploaded and then optimized. Original photos sent via postal mail will be returned to you. If sending images via email, please send them in .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, or .bmp format.
