Why should I use your firm?

You should use our firm because we have experience making professional websites, and have no desire to squeeze every last penny out of you for it. If you like our company website and portfolio websites, we encourage you to request a quotation. We pride ourselves on our ethics, and will never leave a job half-done. In general, we can handle almost all web design tasks. However, if your proposal is for some reason is beyond our level to execute, we will tell you so.

What computer languages do you use to program my website?

The languages and applications we use to program your website will often vary based on your specific needs. In general, we use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the front-end and PHP and mySQL for the back-end. Additionally, we may also employ other tools, such as AJAX or Flash animation.

Are quotations 100% reliable? How much should I expect to pay?

Unfortunately, quotations are not 100% reliable. When given a description of the website, the best we can do is approximate how many hours it takes us to complete, and give you a rough cost based on that. If in reality the project takes longer, you may be charged slightly more. However, after we have given you a final quotation, you will never be charged much more than that. We will never try to lowball you.

Do I own the website?

Yes. After you have paid for your website, it is yours to keep regardless of whether you continue to be our customer. We will never force you to place our logo or company name on your website to promote ourselves. We will never exactly replicate your website for another company. However we do reserve the right to keep our design style, and to mention your website as part of our portfolio and press.

How do I host my website? How much will that cost? Do you pay for that?

We do not operate a server farm, therefore the hosting of your website will be done with a third party. This is the industry standard; very rarely do design studios actually host customer content. However, we will gladly manage all server maintenance for you, including figuring out who you should choose as your hosting provider. The type of host to use as well as the cost of hosting your website is based on the amount of traffic you expect. We are willing to facilitate all third-party transactions. However as per industry standards, you are expected to pay for your own server costs.

Is it possible for your company to guarantee top placement on Google?

No. Any company that guarantees you a number one placement on Google for a popular keyword is lying to you. Google's algorithm is complex and constantly changing. Websites that have made it to the top of Google have made it there mostly because of their strong content.

If I want to update my website in the future, will I have to pay more?

In general, minor modifications to your website are free. For example, if you want to change the text on a section of your website, add a picture, or even add a small flash movie, we won't charge for that. However, if you want a full scale overhaul of your website, including uplifting the template, or if you want to add any complex, new features, we will most likely charge for that. Please contact us if about specific concerns, as decisions for cost of modifications are made on a case-by-case basis.

I know someone who needs a website. If I refer them to you, do I get a referral commission?

Yes. Depending on the nature of the referral, we will compensate existing clients 5-10% of the design cost. So by all means, please encourage your friends to use our service.
