How
much does a web site cost?
There are quite a few factors that are going to affect
the ultimate cost of your web site. These factors
include how many pages you are going to have, if you
will sell products on your website, the graphic work
involved, and how interactive your future web site
will be. You will also need web
hosting and domain
name registration.
Do
I need to hire a "local" web site designer?
Hoover
Web Design creates web sites for clients who are local
as well as out of state. By using the Internet, email
and the telephone, it is possible to communicate effectively
with clients in any location.
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 our current
client design schedule.
What
is a URL?
It
stands for "universal resource locator".
This is the address typed in to view your web page
on the Internet. For example, you would type in http://www.hooverwebdesign.com
to access our home page.
What
is a domain name?
A
domain name is a specific web site address that you
choose and register with Network Solutions(the official
registrar of domain names ending in .com, .edu, and
.gov). Our domain name is "hooverwebdesign.com".
I
am currently hosted with AnotherFirm.com and would
like to switch over to Hoover Web Design Hosting.
How do I do this?
Just
fill out an inquiry and we will take care of everything.
We will transfer your domain name along with all of
your existing web sites content.
Can
I choose you to design my site and use my own web
hosting?
Yes,
you can use any web host you like. Once your website
has been completed you will have to provide us with
your web hosting ftp login username as password so
that we can upload your website for you.
What
is web hosting?
Web
hosting is a monthly fee that you pay to have your
site accessible on the Internet. We can provide web
hosting for our clients.
What
is site maintenance?
Site
maintenance is a fee paid monthly to keep your site
updated with new content that you provide. Most good
web sites have new content updated regularly. Fresh
content is what will keep your visitors coming back.
This is an optional service that we provide for our
customers. If you want to maintain your website yourself
you can do so.
Do
you offer any type of discounts?
Yes,
we offer discounts for schools and non profit organizations.
Why
can't I find my web site in the search engines?
Once
your site has been submitted to the top Search Engines
they may require several weeks, or even months to
actually spider and list your web site in their directory.
How fast your site is listed depends on each individual
Search Engines database update schedule. Watch your
server traffic logs for visiting spiders. We suggest
you use Guaranteed Search Engine Submit. Your site
can be listed on AOL, MSN, Overture in a couple of
days. Click here to read

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.
I've
made my decision - I want you to design my web site.
Now what do I do?
If
you have decided you want a web site or have any questions,
simply fill out our web
design quote request form to start the process.
