There are so many reasons, but to say it short and
sweet The internet is very quickly becoming the
information resource for the whole world! There is
no better way to let people know who you are, what
you do, and what you are about than the internet.

| Q. How much does a web site cost? | A. There is not one answer for
this question. There are many different components
that make up a web site. Not all of these components
are utilized or needed by everyone. There is layout and
design, text entry, HTML coding, javascripting,
original graphics, graphic manipulation, and the
list goes on. You may or may not need to utilize our
services for all of these. Our pricing is reasonable
and sometimes even negotiable, so give us a call or
send an email and we will put together a quote just
for you.

| Q. What is an ISP? | A. ISP is your Internet
Service Provider: An organization that provides
individuals or other organizations with access to
the Internet, typically by purchasing large amount
of communications bandwidth and reselling small
chunks of that bandwidth to its customers.
When you are ready to publish your web site,
there will generally be a set up fee, and then of
course your monthly service fee. These fees will vary
depending upon which service provider you choose.

| Q. What content should I have on my web site? | A. Another complicated question with many answers.
It all depends on what you want say and who you want to say it to.
Realize this, you can give as much information as you would like to give within your site. As the article
A web that weaves dollars
states "People will read as much as they want to read,"
"If you can give them more reasons to buy they will.".
We can work with you to form solid content for your web site and
you can also view our outline on
planning a web site

| Q. How quickly can my web site be up and running? | A. Many factors determine how quickly a web site can be published. First, the amount of content will have
the largest affect on time. If you only have 4 -6
pages then your site could be finished in only a few
weeks. But that is also dependent on how
quickly we receive all of the content information.
In addition, graphic design and manipulation can
also be time consuming. Are your current graphics
and logos "web ready"? Do you need any
graphics created for you? We can set up a time frame
at the initial consultation, after we know the
answers to the above questions.
