1. How long does it take to build and publish a web site? The time to build and publish depends greatly on the amount of support we get from the customer. If a layout is quickly selected, and content already exists, or is quickly provided to us, we can have your site completed in one to two weeks. However, if layout and content are slow coming, the process will be delayed. For planning purposes, an average time frame of 1-2 months should be expected. 2. Can I maintain my web site once it is published? Yes you can. If you have staff with these skills and abilities and HTML editing software, such as Dreamweaver, FrontPage, Expression Web, etc., you can easily maintain your own site. Since we try to avoid the higher end options, basic web editing skills should suffice. Back to Top 3. Where can I get good photos to use on my site? Reasonably priced, royalty free photos may be found at many commercial sites as listed on our Photo Editing web page. Back to Top 4. Can I mail you a regular picture to scan for my web site? You may, but this should be a last resort. Scanning loses a great deal of image clarity. If you have digital images, you should always use them. Back to Top 5. Are there any file size restrictions for my site? There are no specific restrictions, but excessively large images or documents should be avoided. If we determine that file size is an issue with any particular content, we will discuss options with you, before publishing. Back to Top 6. When should I use a PDF format rather than a Word document? PDF is generally the preferred format for sharing documents. PDFs are usually a smaller file size. They cannot be easily altered, if you are looking to preserve the original text, and PDFs are readily viewed by most web visitors, since the PDF readers are free. Remember, not everyone has MS Word. However, there are times when a Word or other editable format may be required. For example, Word would be best if you wish your visitors to have the ability to alter your documents. Back to Top 7. Can you convert documents into PDF for me? Yes, in most cases we can. However, there are some application issues. For example, if you send us a Visio Chart, we do not currently have that application, so our Adobe Software cannot convert the chart without opening the original document. In those cases, we would need to make other arrangements. Back to Top 8. Why do some links on my site open a new browser window, while others do not? This is a fast growing web practice. Links that open within your site will always open in your browser (meaning it will replace the page you are viewing). However, all links that open documents or take a visitor to another web site, should open in a new window. This way, visitors will not get lost viewing an outside page. Your site will remain open in the background, and they can return without backing up using a browser's "Back" button. Back to Top |
