DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY PROJECT EXCEEDS THE INCLUDED NUMBER OF PROFESSIONAL DESIGN HOURS?
Before your project begins, you will be provided with a detailed client survey. This enables us to get a good idea of exactly what you are looking for. This makes it very rare for a project to exceed the included number of design hours. However, in situations where this does occur, the additional work is billed at our standard rate of $100 / hr.
WHAT IF I DON'T LIKE ANY OF THE TEMPLATES THAT YOU PROVIDE?
With so many templates to choose from, it’s very unlikely that we will not find one to meet your needs. In fact, we have never had that happen! If it does occur, however, we would recommend upgrading to our Corporate package. This would provide you with a website built specifically to your needs.

Hosting
WHAT IS WEB HOSTING AND WHY DO I NEED IT?
Whenever you visit a website (ex. cnn.com), your web browser connects to a computer on the internet which is used to store all of the sites content (ex. pictures, text, etc.). This computer (called a server) is charged with staying on 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. By paying a web hosting fee, you in essence rent out storage space on a server, thus allowing your customers to access your website at any time.
WHAT LANGUAGES DO YOUR SERVERS SUPPORT?
Our servers support both PHP and ASP scripting languages.
