Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need the services of a web designer?
It may be easy to create web pages, but it's not easy to do it well. A competent, professional web designer will make it all come together for you: the design, the coding, the speed, the information, the exposure, the presentation and the "construction" expertise.
Why is Color My Web a better choice?
The cornerstones of Color My Web services are creativity, reliability and experience. Web design is our business. We are here to stay. We are available for technical support when you need us. We stay informed about new technology. We have years of experience in the public and private sectors. Our customers are satisfied.
There are so many different web design groups, how do I know which one to choose to best fit my particular needs?
Call references. Conduct your own research.
Look at the websites designed by the company. (See what CMW has done.) Color My Web can create any web project, big or small. We will collaborate with you to insure that you meet your web development goals... and frequently for less money than you would pay elsewhere.
How much does it cost?
Prospective customers are naturally interested in the bottom line. The fairest and most honest answer is, "It depends...". There are so many variables that contribute to the final web site: number of pages, custom graphics, extent of content, enhancements, and other kinds of creative support. Services may be provided on an hourly or project rate. Non profit organizations are eligible for modified rate packages. Contact CMW for a no-obligation meeting or consultation and project assessment.
Will I have support when the site is finished?
After your web site is developed, CMW continues to be available to answer your website-related questions as part of ongoing customer support. When businesses choose to maintain their web sites in-house, CMW trains their staff on subjects ranging from getting connected to the internet to maintaining and updating content.
I have a website, but want to add content that I can maintain myself
We can set up on-line calendars and scheduling, surveys, classified ads, auctions, discussion forums, product inventories and many other components that allow you to add and delete content and categories through your browser. There is no need to buy special software. It is totally integrated with your current site. You have complete control over the content. And we provide the training to make it even easier.
What about hosting? What is a web host?
The hosting company has the server (computer) where your website actually resides. They charge monthly or annual fees for their service, which should include customer support by email and telephone at no charge. The hosting company provides email, spam filtering and backup services.
How will a web site help my business?
A web site is a great place to advertise your business to a target audience or communicate your message or display your products to the world. What better way to advertise than let the potential customer browse at his/her leisure time in the comfort of the home or office via their computer?
Once I have a website, how will the world find it?
It won't happen in a vacuum. There are three important components:
Construct the site to enhance your chances of being found by the search engines. A good web designer knows how to do this.
Submit your website to major search engines after launch, and periodically thereafter. Color My Web includes the first submission in the initial cost and will show you how to do it in the future. (See our list of submission websites)
Include your website as an important part of your marketing strategy... on your business cards, brochures, email messages, flyers, mailers. There are millions of websites in cyberspace. Yours must be a visible part of your marketing toolbox.
I thought web sites were for big businesses. Can my small business or non-profit organization benefit from a web site?
Any organization can benefit from visibility on the World Wide Web... from major corporations to small home businesses to non-profit organizations. No matter what size your business, providing information to your customers, constituents and funders or investors is a key to success for your organization in the world today.
My company has information in databases and other documents that should be available to customers or employees via the web. Can you help?
Awasco, Inc., a business partner of CMW, has many years of software development, database design and internet services. We can manage and present your data and information in a dynamic, secure and accessible way through the viewer's browser.
You are not located in the city where my business is established. Can you still build a website for me?
Absolutely. Many of our clients are located around the US. Some of them we have never met face to face. Our reputation and the work we do for our clients have resulted in excellent business relationships and referrals. Telephone and email are great business tools that we use extensively.
I don't have a business, but I would like a web site for my own personal interests. Can you do that too?
Yes we can.
