Website FAQ

Why does my business need a website?

With the internet at most people's fingertips, more people are searching for products and services online. If your business is not listed online, you could be losing business.

In recent years, search engines have been changing their criteria to showcase the best, most professional websites first. One change is security. They want to know that the proper steps have been taken when building a website. The SSL Certificate shows that the proper authentication steps have been taken to enable an encrypted connection. This will appear as an https in front of the URL. Most browsers will now alert viewers that a website is unsecured in front of the URL if this authentication has not been completed.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of optimizing a website to be displayed properly in search. Search Engines look for certain types of content when crawling a website. A website with proper content in place will display higher and be more easy for a user to find when searching for a specific business or service.

Reputation Management provides a place for a customer to submit a review and rating for a company. There are many options to enable these services. An added benefit is that crawlers also read these listings, ratings and reviews, and will push a website higher in its ranking because of this.

Every website is different and it’s hard to provide a timeline without all the details. A 4-page brochure site is going to be quicker to build than a 10-page advanced site with more interactive pieces.
For an ideal build, we would like to have the content and images provided within a few days of signing the contract. A delay in these elements will delay the launch date of the website.

Hosting and Maintenance is the monthly fee to keep the website online and up to date.
Maintenance: We keep an eye on any changes with search engines and online algorithms to keep the website relevant.
