Frequently Asked Questions How much does a website cost? There are quite a few factors that are going to affect the ultimate cost of your website. These factors include how many pages you are going to have, if you will sell products on your website, the graphic work involved, and how interactive your future website will be. Websites developed using FLASH technology can be very intricate and detailed; thereby, costing more than a strictly HTML (the universal web programming language) driven website. You will also need web hosting and domain registration — we can arrange this for you. Do I need to hire a "local" multimedia company? We create websites for clients who are local, across the country, or overseas. By using the Internet, email and the telephone, it is possible to communicate effectively with clients in any location. How long does it take to have a website designed? The time frame is determined by the size of your website, the complexity of your site design, and our current client design schedule. What is a URL? It stands for "universal resource locator". This is the address typed in to view your web page on the Internet. For example, you would type in http://www.mobiusmultimedia.com to access our home page. What is a domain name? A domain name is a specific web site address that you choose and register with Network Solutions (the official registrar of domain names ending in .com, .edu, and .gov). Our domain name is "mobiusmultimedia.com". I am currently hosted with another firm and would like to switch over to Mobius Multimedia. How do I do this? Just send us an email or fill out our quote request form and we will take care of everything. We will transfer your domain name along with all of your existing web sites content. Can I choose you to design and develop my site but choose another for web hosting? Sure. What is web hosting? Web hosting is a monthly fee that you pay to have your site accessible on the Internet. We can provide you with web hosting. What is site maintenance? 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. Mobius Multimedia offers Content Management Systems which enable our clients to make changes to their websites with ease. Why can't I find my web site in the search engines? Once your site has been submitted to the top Search Engines they may require several weeks, or even months to actually spider and list your web site in their directory. How fast your site is listed depends on each individual Search Engine database update schedule. Watch your server traffic logs for visiting spiders. We can optimize your website keywords and tags, then submit your website to the following search engines:
What size screen resolution do you design your websites for? Most sites are designed for 800 X 600 screen resolution. Web Site Content — What Do I Put On My Site? When we say "website content", we are referring to all of the raw text / copy and photos that you will be providing us with to use throughout the web site. For those clients that need professional copywriting and language translation services, we can provide that. Mobius Multimedia also offers Professional Photography and Digital Video services. I've made my decision — I want Mobius Multimedia to design and develop my website. If you have decided you want a website or have any questions, simply fill out our quote request form, email us, or phone us (604.730.8643) to start the process. |
