  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 learn more.

  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.
