FAQ About Websites

Posted: 17 April of 2013

Every Site is differnt. There are so many variances in preferences, needs, and

budgets. Let us discuss your particular website needs for an exact quote.

At Hacks Repair we know that a website is a living, breathing entity that needs to focus solely on what you are trying to convey to your viewers.

It should be more than just pictures and text. A website should be a visual experience that will draw your viewers' attention. We understand this very important marketing principle. We are an award winning web design company striving to excel in cutting edge web design.

Prepackaged sites with the 'one size fits all' mentality are not what you will find here with our designers. We custom design each site, bringing to life that special web presence that is uniquely yours. So give us a call and let's get

started....

How do I get a domain name ?

Your domain name is like a street address. That's

what everyone will use to find your webpage. Getting the

right domain name is imperative and a bit challenging

because your first choice may already be taken. That's

why it's good to jot down 5 or 10 ideas. Make sure your

"domain name" is short and catchy. It should be easy to

read when printed and it should also be easy to remember

when seen in an advertisement. If possible, as part of

the domain name, it should have the main key word that

would be used to search to find a website like yours.

The cost of getting a domain name depends on where you

get it. The average cost for a standard .com is $10.00

per year. We do offer extensions such as .tv for $50.00

per year.

What is the process of

getting a website ?

Before you get started, you may wish to look at other

some of our other websites in order to get an idea of

what styles you like. With your target audience in mind,

think about what information is most important to have

on your website. Think about colors, content, a logo,

and photographs that you would like to include. If you

are unsure about all that, don't worry. We will help you

through the entire process. Contact me by email, or

telephone (615) 388-7946, so that we can discuss the

ideas you have about how you would like your new website

to look. At that time we can discuss hosting, layout and

what pages you would like to include (i.e. 'About our

company", "Our products and services", etc…).

After we have a general idea of what your website

will consist of, we will be able to provide you with an

estimate of what the cost will be. The best possible

method for providing graphics is to supply computer

images (i.e. jpg, gif, png). If you don't have computer

images -- brochures, photographs and other printed

material will be fine. These items can be scanned

achieving good quality. Sometimes regular photos just

don't cut the mustard, so we do offer professional photo

stock images. We will match your content to our photo

stock or to what ever specifications you have in mind.

We also offer specialized graphic art for whatever your

website needs may be. If you are in need of a logo

design, contact us for details. Logo designs, graphic

arts, and professional photo stock are separate fees.

As with images, it is best to provide text in some

sort of computerized format such as Microsoft Word,

Notepad, Microsoft Works, WordPad, or even just through

keying it into an email. This will speed up the process.

CD’s and Jump Drives are acceptable formats. If you do

not have any digital text, you can provide hand written

or printed material but that will slow down the process

and in some cases cost more money for data entry.

Contact us for pricing concerning manual data entry.

Once a contract is signed, one half of the estimated

cost will be due before the work begins. During

the construction process, your website will be uploaded

for preview. We will ask for your comments and/or

changes via email or telephone. The work will continue

until you are completely satisfied. After receiving your

approval and payment for the remaining balance, your

website will be copied to the host of your choice or we

will provide you with one if you so wish.

How much does a website

cost?

Costs vary depending on the size and complexity

of the site. In order to determine what your needs

are please fill out our quick questionnaire located

on the contact page. You may also call (615)

388-7946. After our initial contact, we will be able

to estimate your cost.

What methods of payment do

you accept ?

We accept personal checks, cash and credit cards via PayPal.

Do I need a computer to

have a website ?

No. Your website is not stored on your computer. You

will however need a computer connected to the internet

to send and receive email.

Back to Top

Where will my website be

located (hosted) ?

Most of our clients prefer us to host their websites

on our server. Just as you would rent a hotel room or an

apartment for a certain amount of time, you will "rent"

space from us on a high speed computer known as a

"server" that is connected to the internet 24 hours a

day 7 days a week. Hosting plans are covered under your

maintenance agreements which start as low as $15.00 per

month.

Back to Top

What about updating my

website ?

You may wish to update or change your website

periodically. We now have two options, self mangement

via our CMS or one of our maintenance plans.

If you prefer the speed and convenience of updating

your site yourself, we now offer this service at $15.00

per month. You will be given a link that looks just as

if you were looking at your site. There is no coding or

knowledge of HTML or CSS needed. There will be small

icons that you simply click on and then edit as if in

Word. But not all aspects of your site can be

managed in this manner. If you have a shopping cart, you

will need to hire Hacks Repair for updates as

shopping carts are very involved with heavy coding.

If you prefer Hacks Repair to handle the

maintenance for you, most of our maintenance packages start

out at $25.00 per month and go up from there, depending

on the amount of time per month that your updates may

take. Website changes that go above the amount of time

that is allotted in your maintenance packages are billed

on an hourly basis of $45 an hour with a one hour

minimum.

Do we need to meet in

person ?

No. That's the beauty of the internet. Everything can

be done through email or telephone. We have clients all

over the country. We will, of course, be happy to meet

with you if you are located in or near the Elizabethtown, KY

area.

What is a browser ?

Browsers such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla are

common computer programs that allow the user to view,

read, and even hear information on the World Wide Web.

Back to Top

What is a search engine ?

A search engine is a website where you can type in

words and phrases called "key words" to help you find

what you're looking for on the Internet. Some popular

search engines are Google, Bing, and Yahoo.

Back to Top

Will my website be placed

high in the search engine listings ?

It all depends how much direct competition exists on

the internet. Although there are no guarantees,

everything will be done to optimize your website by

embedding Meta tags and keywords, as well as utilizing

alt tags, headers and placing special wording in

strategic places on your webpage so that you have a good

chance of ranking high in the most popular search

engines. Although fancy flash introductions or "splash

pages" may look pretty, they may prevent your website

from ranking high in the search engines. Since we are a

web design house, we do not market your site. That is up

to you. We will help point you in the right direction in

order to make the most out of your marketing needs.

many people visit my site ?

Understandable web site statistics, available online.

These statistics summarize the number of visitors to

your web site, search engine information and more.
