| Why do I need a website? Websites are one of the least expensive and most flexible forms of advertising. They are targeted to your audience and give you more exposure. Unlike printed literature, websites can be changed and updated as often as you'd like. A website provides a means of communicating with your existing and prospective customers, not to mention a variety of other benefits. More and more people are turning to the web to research businesses - whether it is a dry cleaner or a metal fabricator. A website is can communicate many things that a yellow page ad or a newspaper ad cannot… full product lines, testimonials, color photographs, documents, etc. It's a great place to generate leads, make sales transaction and tell people why they should use your business. |
|
| Where do I start? First of all, sit down and write down the goals that you'd like to accomplish through your website, who your target market is, what information is most asked of your business and what message you'd like to present. Next, gather together all materials that are representative of your business - logos, photos, brochures, letters, postcards, etc. Research what your competitors are doing - you don't want to copy them, you want to have an edge over them. At any time you may contact Internet Web Gateway for a free initial consultation. You can reach a Sales Representative by emailing info@internetwebgateway.com |

| Can I do this myself? Certainly you can design your own website, but do you have the time, resources or experience to design a site that appears professional, is functional and is easily navigated? If you do, great! We'll still be happy to host your site and provide technical support and FTP access to your domain. Click here for hosting options. Remember, first impressions are important. You want to make sure that your website reflects a professional image of your business or organization. A website that looks homemade or is difficult to navigate will in turn give that impression of you. We understand how websites work. Internet Web Gateway has composed the creative and technical resources that will help you to communicate your message on the World Wide Web. All of our customers web pages have a unique site design, custom graphics and a site layout all their own. |
|
| How will my customers find me? When you host with Internet Web Gateway we submit your site to all the major search engines for you. This can dramatically increase the number of visitors to your website. There are many resources for online promotion and making sure your website is successful. We can help you to identify the methods that best suit your company's needs and help you to implement your website into your existing marketing plan. |
|
| How much do you charge for website design? It depends on what you want your website to do for your business, how big it is, if there's e-commerce involved, the complexity of the site, how much copy you need written, etc. We don't use template designs; every site we design is unique in appearance and pricing. You will receive a detailed fee proposal after talking to you regarding the graphic and content requirements of your site. During your initial FREE consultation our representative can give you a good idea of a price range. |
|
| What is "web hosting"? The files of your Web site must be on a server with a direct connection to the Internet, Domain Name Service, and many other technical configurations in order for the site to be accessible on the World Wide Web. It is much more cost-effective to rent server space from a Web Presence Provider (Internet Web Gateway) than to buy your own server computers, T3 connections to Internet backbones, and hire a technical staff to keep the servers running properly. |
|

|
| How will I know how many people visited my site?

|
| How do I get an address? Click here to check for availability of a domain name and to securely register your domain address. |
|
| How much work would it involve for me? Initially you will work with your Marketing Representative to help you determine your goals, purpose of your site, target audience and integration of your website into your existing marketing efforts. You will need to provide any text and pictures or logos, along with any requirements for the design of your website. We will talk to you during the design process if we have any queries about your requirements and will keep you informed of progress. We will register your chosen domain name and upload your website on to the Internet for you. If you already have a registered domain name we will carry out the transfer to our server for you (approval via email or your signature on a form maybe required). You will then need to check your website through and send us any amendments. There's nothing else you need to do - until you wish to make changes to your website. We recommend that you do some work to publicize your website, to make the most of your investment. A website is after all primarily a marketing tool. We will give you advice on how to do this, once your website is up and running. |
|
| How soon can I get my site online? It depends on the size of your site, what type of content is incorporated into the site, and if programming needs to be applied to it. A one page website can be done in a matter of hours where an extensive e-commerce site can take weeks. For a medium to large site, a contract and site map is established we will assemble your text, logo, photos and graphics and begin your conceptual design. It then takes about 10 working days until a draft of your website is complete. Once that is approved we will establish a timeline and our design team will begin adding content and/or programming on your site. Once you approve the overall site it can go live on the web within minutes. Your representative can give you a more detailed timeline during initial discussions of your site. |
