Does my business need a web site? Ask yourself, "Does my business need 24-hour exposure 7 days a week, 365 days a year?" The answer is obvious. What other medium allows you to expose all the benefits of your small business to your target market at their convenience and provide a source of direct correspondence from them to you? The benefits of a web site are innumerable.
How many pages do I need? This all depends on how much content you have. Every business web site should have an 'About Us' page (or something similarly titled) to tell your visitors about your business. After that, it depends on what type of business you have. A good rule of thumb is to not overwhelm your audience with too much information on each page. Disperse the information and break it up into digestible pages and paragraphs. Long pages of text tend to overwhelm the reader. Break content up to truly get your audience's attention.
What can a website do for me? The answer to this question is neither short nor easy. With a little research and thought you can find hundreds of reasons, but there are a few general statements that may help you realize your needs. First a website can reach millions of people that might not otherwise be available. Second, customers can view products, services, or whatever you want to share from the comfort of their own home. No matter what type of business you are in, their are ways to grow and make money on the web for you.
Why does it matter how it looks as long as it works? When you receive a visitor to your site, they will instantly perceive the quality of your services or products. The first impression a customer or potential customer gets depends on the appearance of your website. A visitor will be interested and explore your site if it is appealing and easy to navigate. You are marketing yourself and your business to the world over the Internet and it is important to show your best.
I don't think a website will do anything for me, am I right? No, many people overlook the various products, services, or business processes they can include on a website. Any communication or interactions that happen within your business can be made easier and more efficient by the web. Your business will save money and time while appealing to a much greater audience, the world.
I have heard that my website can be a place to help my employees do their jobs, is this true? While most businesses view the Internet as an opportunity to expand their sales through traditional e-commerce, few people are aware of the opportunities of increasing efficiency and reducing expenses. Placing business processes, especially those done daily, on the internet is possible for all types of businesses.
What domain name should I choose? This depends on how you are going to use it. If you are going to be telling people over the phone, choose one that is easy to say and spell out loud. Above all, I would choose one that is memorable and not confusing. Also make sure the domain name is something they can associate with you business, service, or product.
What is a Content Management System? A Content Management System (CMS) allows you to make changes to content on pages without you having to buy software or learn that software. Often they charge more for hosting because of all the time it takes to maintain the CMS. With the CMS you log into an administration area and then go to the page you want to change. Often you will have an interface that is similar to Microsoft Word, so it is easy for you to make changes, create links, insert pictures or graphics, etc. By having a CMS, it eliminates your need to contact your webmaster every time you have to change something on your site.
What is a URL? A URL is actually your domain name, such as www.greenchair.net. It is your online address for your web site.
How long will it take for my web site to be designed? The timescale of a website design project is often dictated by the client. If you have a deadline in mind we will Endeavour to meet it for you.

In what format should I supply words and photographs about my business for my new website? It is helpful to us if you are able to provide text and photographs in electronic form - for example, the files output by a digital camera and the words in MS word or similar format. If this is not possible, we can help get your information ready for use on the website.
