Questions and Answers
What kind of deposit is required to begin my project?
Only a 35% deposit is required at the beginning of your project. Another 35% is required at the Beta Release of your project. Finally, 30% is required at the Project Release.
What is the difference between a "static" and a "dynamic" site?

A static site is a site that sends exactly the same response to every request. Each page is a separate document and there is no database that it draws on. What this means functionally is that the only way to edit the site is to go into each page and edit the HTML - so you'd either have to do it yourself using a webpage editor like Dreamweaver or hire our services to go in and edit the site each time you wanted something changed.

A dynamic site is database driven that is written using more complex code such as server side programming language. A dynamic site can be totally customized for each user based on the algorithm and functions implemented in the database and the code.

How long does it take to build a website?

Generally it depends on the requirements of the website and if it is static or dynamic. We are committed to delivering a couple of design mock-ups within a week of accepting our proposal. After that there are many timing factors that can delay progress. Honestly, most of these delays occur on the client side. Many are too much a part of the business process to be easily avoided. These include:

  1. Client's approval for the design
  2. Delays in delivering Client-side content and finalized menu navigation
  3. Vacations, sudden priority shifts, and having one of the key client contacts get buried in other work are all common occurrences.
  4. There are also scope changes. When the process begins, a client suddenly sees new potentials, or changes the target audiences of the site. This usually involves redesign.

Pre-planning and careful specification of a website will greatly reduce to likelihood of delays. As will clearly a clearly delineated process for content creation, client site review, and approvals.

How long will my print design project take to complete?
Smaller projects like business cards, logos and flyers can be completed in 2-4 days. More extensive projects like catalogs generally 1 to 2 weeks to complete. Your account representative will provide you with an estimate for the completion of your project.
