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