What is a Web site and why do I need it?
In general, a web site is a place on the Internet that can be used to present something to the Internet audience. A website is like a necessity in today's society. Millions of new users are connecting to the Internet from any part of the world at any time. People use the Web to do almost everything, including banking, shopping, and researching. Not only is it quick, convenient and easy, but also it is always a changing environment. Newly updated sites always appear and there are always new things to explore on the Internet because of its comprehensiveness. A website is like a phone number, it is the first place people look before they do business with your company. If they don't find you, they will then find your competitors. A website could present vital company information to the prospective client. Thus, there are endless opportunities on the Internet.
Also referred to as data transfer rate, it is the amount of data you are allowed to transfer per month. Your current web statistics program should give you a rough idea of how much bandwidth you are using at the moment. If you take a disk space of 10 MB, your bandwidth will be typically 300 MB/month. Beware of companies offering unlimited bandwidth as they usually have a non-specific clause in their terms and conditions saying they may shut down your website if you use an excessive share of their web server resources.
Does my business really need a website?
Until now, the only way a small business could market to customers outside their local area was by using expensive advertising media. Most companies can't afford regional or network radio and TV advertising, or expensive national magazines. But with a Web site, they now have the vehicle necessary to very cost-effectively reach the vast Internet community - throughout the World!
How long does it take to have a website made?
The timescale of a project is generally dictated by the client. It depends on how long it takes you to decide on your general graphics and layout as well as the actual size of the content. The most common delay in the creation of a site is waiting for content (text/images) to be sent to us by the client. Once I have that information, plus the actual information for the body of your site, the average small business website is completed within a couple of weeks. After that, we will go over the final website.
