Do I need a web developer or a web designer? How do I go about picking the right one for me?
See our Why Attraction page for information on us. Or see Great
website tips for general information.
Do I need to hire a "local" web site designer?
We create web sites for clients who are local as well as out of state. By using the Internet, email and the
telephone, it's possible to communicate effectively with clients anywhere in the USA.
How much will my web site cost?
Several factors will affect the ultimate cost of your web site. These factors include the number of pages,
if you will sell products online, the graphic work involved, and how interactive your web site will be.
The good news is that we can do it at a low cost. You will also need
Registration and Web Hosting.
How long does it take to have a web site designed?
The time frame is determined by the size of your web site, the complexity of your site design, and
our current client design schedule. We can have a basic version of your site online within a week.
What is a URL?
A "Universal Resource Locator" is the address typed in to view your web page on the Internet.
For example, you would type in http://www.attractweb.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 a registrar such as
GoDaddy.com or Network Solutions. Domain names end in .com, .edu, .biz .gov
and more. This site's domain name is "attractweb.com".
What is web hosting?
Web hosting is a monthly fee that you pay to have your site accessible on the Internet. We can arrange
hosting for you and it will be included in the price.
I am currently hosted with HostX.com and would like to switch over to a different host.
How do I do this?
Just click on one of the Hosting Ads to the right, or email us and we will take care of everything.
We will transfer your domain name along with all of your existing web site content.
Can I use 'Attraction' to design my site but choose my own web host?
Absolutely.
What is site maintenance?
Maintenance is a fee paid monthly, quarterly, or on an "as needed" basis to keep your site updated with new
content that you provide.
Most good web sites have new content updated regularly. Fresh content will keep
your visitors coming back.
Do you offer any type of discounts?
Yes, we offer discounts for non profit organizations.
We'll also credit you for referrals who
use our services!
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's database update schedule. For a fee, you can use various Guaranteed Search
Engine Submit services. Your site can be listed on AOL, MSN, Overture in a couple of days.
What size screen resolution do you design your websites for?
Most sites are designed for 1024x800 and 800x600 computer screens. They must also be built to be compatible
with different browsers (Explorer, Firefox, etc.)
Web Site Content - What Do I Put On My Site?
See Great website tips for articles about how to attract visitors and keep
them happy.
How do people find my site?
There are five basic ways to let Internet users know about your site.
- be sure to list your site URL on your business stationery, cards, brochures and advertising
- submit your site to the search engines. Most good designers will do this as part of the web site development process. If your site is built with the proper attention to search-engine protocols, Web surfers will find you when searching for keywords related to your site.
- you can exchange links with related sites. Attraction can help you do this.
- You can buy advertising in traditional media or Web space, listing your site address and details to entice readers to visit your pages.
- you can get great service from word-of-mouth advertising. If your site is a business site, you might consider a guest book and offer some premium to existing customers who encourage a friend to sign in and leave the referring customer's e-mail address.
