:: Frequently Asked
Web Design Questions ::
How much
do you charge for websites?
Our firm develops websites in the range of $400 for beginner
sites to $5,000 and upwards for major sites with extensive
shopping cart systems, flash animation, programming or highly
researched search engine optimization. Many small
business websites range only from $500-$3000 on average, which
is less than half the industry standard.
What type of
payment forms do you accept?
We accept checks, money orders and credit card payments.
My
business isn't in your area, can you still build my website?
Our firm has developed websites for clients all over the
United States, we can design a site for out of state clients
just as easily as clients only five minutes from us.
I have a
site already, but its not listed on Yahoo, MSN or Google. Why
is that?
Many firms can design a website, but very few know how to
achieve maximum results in getting your site listed in
search engines (even the ones that claim that they can). 85%* of all Web site traffic and 70%**
of all purchases online begin at a search engine like Yahoo or Google. Using our effective SEO (search engine
optimization) techniques, our firm can help you achieve better
rankings. Even if you have the best looking site online,
it wont matter if people cant find it. If you're not on
the first page of Yahoo, MSN or Google for at least one set of
target keywords (practical keywords, not a search for
your business name), you could be missing out on hundreds or
even thousands of leads.
Let the facts
speak for themselves: search for "Louisiana website
design"
in Google by
clicking here and look at
where Delta Creations ranks in competition with every firm
across
our entire state. Think about it: if other web design
companies can't get their own company website in the top three
spots, can you really expect them to get you the best results
for your site? Many of our clients enjoy first-page results for
their keywords, some achieve the #1 position for competitive
keyword searches.
My (choose
one) [Brother in Law / Nephew / Employee] says that they can
design my site
for free, why shouldn't I just let them design it?
Your
business is more than likely a serious part of your life, so
ask yourself something: Does the person who wants to design
that
site have an office, design experience, knowledge of internet
marketing and web surfing trends? We have developed over
170 professional websites, we treat your business presence
online as serious as we do our own. Most established
design firms aren't getting their clients ranked well in Yahoo
and Google, someone who isn't a full-time designer is even
less likely to get you good results. Don't take chances
if you want your business to grow, go with an experienced
firm.
What should I
be looking for when choosing a design firm?
When choosing a company to design your website, there are a
number of important factors to consider. Keep these
questions in mind when considering a particular firm:
-
How long has the
company been in business?
-
Are they a
member of the Better Business Bureau or similar organization?
-
Do they have a
large portfolio with working sites that you can visit?
-
Does the company
have positive client testimonials & links to their sites?
-
Do they have an
office, and list their physical address on their website?
-
Do they have
samples of how their clients rank well in search engines?
To answer our
own suggested questions: We've designed over 170 sites since
2001, are members of the BBB, provide client testimonials, and
can demonstrate concrete proof of how well our search engine
optimization techniques work. All of our contact
information and office location is available on our contact
page.
How will I know if people are visiting my website?
Our firm recommends a hosting company that offers a free
statistics program, which can show you how many people are
visiting your site daily, what sites they came from, even the
keywords they typed in at Google and Yahoo to find you.
What if I need to make changes to my website?
Most of the websites we develop can be edited on software
that you can purchase from retail stores. If you host with a
company we recommend, you can easily make edits to your site
live with no need for additional software. You can make content
changes yourself, or have our designers make them for you
affordably.
How long will it take to complete my site?
Most websites can be developed in two to four weeks depending
on the features required. We are capable of creating a
professional site in as little as 24 hours when immediate
promotion is needed (there is an added fee for super rush
jobs).
How long will it be before I have visitors to my
website?
Typically it can take anywhere from a week to several months
before the major search engines (Yahoo, MSN, Google) list your site. There
are paid programs that allow you to pay a fee for immediately
inclusion, yet they are not mandatory. Our goal is to
get you what is referred to as "organic" results, natural and
positive ranking over time without you having to pay any type
of ongoing fee.
