I want to put my business online, but have no idea where to start. What will I need to do first?
Call Fox Web Design! We will guide you through the entire project, from securing your domain name to going live. Even if you decide to build the site yourself or hire another design company, we will give you the information you need to get started.
How much does it cost to have a website designed and developed?
Design costs vary from site to site with many determining factors. We do offer pre-priced website packages for basic sites and are always happy to supply a quote to fit your individual needs. Phone us at: 515-327-8576 or use or online quote request form.
How long will it take Fox Web Design to build my website?
This depends on the size and type of site. A small website can be finished within a week, whereas a larger site can take a few weeks. We will always give you an accurate estimate during the quote process.
Can you use my existing logo or printed brochure in the design of my website?
Yes. We can usually get a good digital file to start with from your printer.
I have a new business and this is my first website, can you help design a logo for me?
My company is service oriented, will a website help my business?
Absolutely!
A website can truly highlight the service you offer. Your potential customers can read important information you would like them to know, see pictures (before and after if appropriate for your service), read testimonials from other customers, send a quick note asking you to contact them and much more.
This is something that can't be accomplished in any other form of advertising for such a small price.
What is website maintenance and why do I need it?
Website maintenance is how we refer to regular updates or changes to your website. It is important to keep your site current, correct and fresh. Simple changes from time to time will do this. For e-commerce sites, maintenance may also include price changes, removing discontinued products etc.
I have worked hard to establish my company. How much input will I have in the design of my website?
We know your website is a reflection of you and your business. We will work with you 100% to make sure your site is what YOU want.
What is e- commerce and how does it work?
E-commerce is "electronic commerce", business transactions conducted on the internet, often referred to as online stores. There are many e-commerce solutions available and we will help you choose the correct one for your business. The one thing they all have in common is that they allow you to sell your products or services online and collect payment at that time.
Do you offer payment plans?
How does your design process work?
We start by designing a sample layout or two and publish them in a special location on the internet. We then contact you with the url so you can view the layout designs. We respect your vision and will create more designs to show you until you are satisfied with "the look".
Once the basic layout design is decided, we start adding content - showing you page by page as we go and making any changes you require.
If you ever request changes or additional content that will affect the price you were quoted, you will be notified for approval before it is added.
Do I get a chance to view and suggest changes to my website during the design process?
Absolutely! This is YOUR web presence and we want you to be extremely happy with it.
Once my website is finished, can you help me get listed on the search engines and suggest alternative ways to promote it?
A large part of any professionally designed website involves the optimization of search terms to insure proper placement on the search engines. There are also many additional alternatives to help promote to your site, such as social networking, adwords, banner ads, print advertising etc. We want your business to grow as much as you do and are happy to help you. Once your site has gone live, there may be an additional charge for some services.
