Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does It Take?

That depends on what you need done. If all you need is a basic Web presence, just enough to point customers in your direction, you Web site can be up and running in a couple of days. If you need something more along the lines of amazon.com, then naturally it will take quite a bit longer.

How Much Does It Cost?

Again, that depends on what you need done. See Pricing for more information.

Can You...?

Depending, of course, on what the rest of that question is, the answer is almost certainly Yes. If you can conceive of something you want on a Web page, odds are we can do it. But a better question might be, "Is it feasible for you to...?" Most of the common tasks people want on Web sites are straightforward. In fact, all the pages on this site are straighforward. However, sometimes a seemingly modest change can escalate the magnitude of the task startingly, and it can surprisingly difficult for a layman to recognize. Feel free to let your imagination run wild, but be sure to check with us before you get your heart fixed on something exotic.

Will I Own The Web Site?

Yes, lock, stock, and barrel. You will own the domain name, and all rights and responsibilities connected with the site. You will also receive the source code for all of your Web pages.

Can My Own Marketing Personnel Help?

Certainly they can! In fact, the most productive way about it is a cooperative effort allowing the use of the most valuable expertise. You can prepare your own text, graphics, and more. The more assistance you provide, the lower your cost will be.

Can We Make Changes To The Site Later??

Of course. But you need to know that there are two different types of changes.

The first of these are changes to the design of the Web site itself, such as the addition of new pages or major architectural changes. If you need to do this, just get back in contact with us and we will make the arrangements.

The second — and more common — is to make adjustments in the content of your pages, such as adding new products, changing announcements, and the like. We will determine the need for this capability early in the development cycle and provide specialized pages for you to make these changes yourself. They will be accessible only by authorized personnel with the correct login information.

Where Will My Site Be Located?

Actually, the geographic location doesn't matter much. DuaneWeb does not host Web sites, but arranging for Web hosting is part of the service. We recommend Tera-Byte because of their reasonable rates and excellent service. However, if you have a preference for any particular Web hosting provider, that is fine.

What About Those "Free" Web Sites?

Two words: Forget it! They are not what you want for a professional Web site.

For one thing, there will be a number of features missing that you might need, most notably server-side scripting and database support. Also, many of them simply don't offer enough space for many needs. Because these "free" servers may be hosting thousands of personal Web pages, their response is often far too slow for any type of professional work.

Also, you'll get something else you do not want: somebody else's advertising. After all, they are not really free; they are there as vehicles for advertising. It is like taking a ride on someone else's commercial.

A quite functional Web site can be had for hosting costs in the range of $100 per year. There is no need to tarnish your professional image by going with a "free" Web host.

Do You Have Any Samples Of Your Work?

For starters, there is this Web site. Also, you can view the sample pages to see more, and take a list at the Clients section.
