Do I Need A Web Site?

As you know the web and Internet have experienced tremendous growth in the past few years. In fact the US Department of Commerce reports that traffic on the Internet is doubling every 100 days. What makes the Internet so appealing is the capability of being able to instantly share information with people all over the world. Businesses are becoming more successful by establishing an effective web presence and tapping into this immense worldwide market. Businesses are learning that they can use their web site on the Internet to:

• Increase their market exposure to literally millions of people around the world
    
• Gain credibility and establish a professional corporate image
    
• Compete on an equal basis with companies many times larger than their own, and dominate those companies without an effective web presence
    
• Establish effective new ways of doing commerce over the Internet
    
• Publish timely information such as product literature, annual reports, and press releases
    
• Provide valuable customer service without additional costs

If your business can benefit in any of these ways, then a web site is right for you.

Simple or intermediate web sites can usually be completed within 3 weeks. More advanced web sites that contain more features or content can take a month or more to complete. Very advanced web sites can take several months to complete.

Most of the web sites in our portfolio were completed within 2-3 weeks.

How Do I Choose A Web Site Designer?

There are many issues to consider when choosing a web site developer. We've listed the following set of guidelines to help you make an informed decision.

Judge The Quality Of Their Work
Probably the best way to evaluate a web site developer is to visit other web sites the developer has designed. Look for things like the professionalism of the graphical design, the download speed of each page, the use of advanced features, and the overall user friendliness of the design. Go beyond the home page and see if the other pages are of the same quality as the home page. Most of all, go with your gut reaction. If you don't like what you see, chances are you will you will not be happy with the web site that this developer creates for you.

Make Sure The Web Designer Has Enough Expertise & Experience
It is important that you choose a web site developer that has enough expertise and experience to meet both your near term AND long term goals. Web sites are now more sophisticated than ever, and many web designers are having a hard time keeping up with the rapid pace of technology. So, whether you need electronic commerce, search capabilities, content management, or other advanced features, be sure that your web designer has enough know-how to offer you the best solution possible.

Contact References
What better way to learn about the web site designer than asking past clients for their opinion? Ask the web developer to provide you with a list of references, and then call or email each reference. Ask many questions. Was the client happy with the web site? Was the web site designer easy to work with? Did the developer understand and listen the client's needs? Reliability is a rare commodity in this field, so be sure to also ask if the designer was dependable and responsive.

Evaluate Their Customer Service
Your initial contact with the designer should give you good clues on what it is like doing business with them. Did somebody answer the phone promptly when you called? If you left a message, did they return your call promptly? Was the representative friendly and helpful? If you are new to the Internet, did the representative take time to explain to you some of the issues involved in web design? Trust your instincts. If the developer doesn't bother to be courteous or promptly return your phone call now, then expect more of the same when doing business with them later.
