Web Site Design FAQ
What should I expect when your studio designs my web site?
After learning about your business, we will put together an estimate for your custom web site design. Once the estimate is accepted, a $150 deposit is required. We will then construct two website home page drafts for you to consider. Next, we will combine your drafts into one page, based on your preferences. After that, we will work with you to fine tune your web copy as we design the rest of your site. We will guarantee that the web site we design for you will work in the latest browser versions of Internet Explorer and FireFox on a pc, and Safari and Firefox on a mac. It will also be unique. We do not use templates.
What is a domain name?
A domain name is a specific web site address that you choose and register.
What is web hosting?
Web hosting is a place to store your web pages. Everything you see on the internet is saved on a computer somewhere. You pay a monthly fee to store your pages and have them accessible world wide. We publish your web site design project to your chosen hosting service upon competion of the design. We do not provide hosting services in connection with your web design project. Hosting services require a separate contract.
What payments will I have to make?
A web design deposit will be sent to Crimson Designs before work begins. Then one or two more payments will be expected, depending on the size of the project. We rely on timely payments from our clients. Please keep in mind that once your deposit has been received, your project is accepted in good faith and other projects are often turned away.
If you change your mind for any reason and choose not to complete your project, your deposit is nonrefundable. We also reserve the right to remove any web design project from viewing on the Internet until final payment is made.
How long will it take to design my web site?
We will do our best to set milestones for completion of your web site, but it depends on your participation. If you are prompt in sending information and respond quickly to our questions, your web site may be completed in several weeks. Some web sites, on the other hand, take several months to launch. It depends a lot on you!
Why should I have my site designed using web standards?
Search engine spiders love standards-based web sites. Clean, valid code means that your web pages will have less unnecessary markup to compete with important keywords. The key is the use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to control the entire design of the site instead of making changes to every single web page. Websites that are built upon standards are also easier to update and maintain in the long run. We will build your custom website using web standards so that your site meets the most important specifications and guidelines of the W3C. The W3C set out best practices for designing web sites according to internationally agreed upon rules.
Who owns my web site after it is created?
Your new web site is yours - you own it 100%. Crimson Designs reserves the right to display any development examples (web design, banner, logo or other) in our online portfolio. We also request that the links to Crimson Designs on your site will remain until the design is no longer active on the Internet.
Is there any maintenance required after designing my web site?
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. We offer web site maintenance at an hourly rate of $30. We also offer a monthly service plan.
