Q.
How much will my credit card be billed?
A. The set up fees are outlined in the section: Package
Pricing. The set up fee includes the first month's
hosting. After the first month, the monthly hosting
fee will be prorated until the end of the month, depending
on how many days it is until the end of the month.
Then, future billing will ALL be done on the 1st of
each month.
Q.
How long will it take to build my site?
A. An outline of the timeframe can be viewed in the
section How It Works. The timeframe is dependent on
which package is chosen and the time it takes to get
content from the customer. If you don't submit your
content, the timeframe is delayed. If all content is
submitted in a timely manner, then it will take the
following:
• Starter Site: 5-10 business days
• Mid Size: 10-15 business days
• Corporate: 15-20 business days
Q.
My site is live but I can't see it in the search engines.
Why not?
A. Just by registering a domain name and building
a website does not guarantee the site will be indexed
by the search engines right away. The search engines
such as Yahoo! and Google both send out little processors
called spiders that crawl the web looking for pages.
Your site will get crawled by the spiders, but it
could take up to 2 weeks before your site is indexed.
We do offer an option for search engine optimization
that will submit a sitemap to Google and register
your website. Please review the Options section for
more information.
Q.
How do I make changes to my site?
A. There are three options for making changes to your
website.
Option 1) The first option is to upgrade your
packge to the Corporate package. This package includes
2 hours of changes per month to existing pages. This
does not include adding new pages, but includes changing
text and images on existing pages.
Option 2) We offer a content management software
that will allow you to login to your account and make
changes to your site via a web based administration
area that works like MS Word. No html knowledge is
required. See Options for pricing of this option
Option 3) We can make changes on a smaller
scale with a minimum $35 fee. The number of changes
may incur additional costs. This will be determined
by your client liason
Q.
Can I add more pages to my site?
A. Yes. For an additional set up fee, we can add more
pages to your website. However, if the number of pages
increases to the next package, your hosting fee will
increase. For instance, if you are currently on the
Starter Package (2 pages) and you want to add 3 more
pages, your account will automatically be bumped up
to the Mid Size package and the fees will be increased
accordingly.
Q.
What other enhancements do you offer?
A. We offer a number of different options to enhance
your website. Some of these include: flash animation,
ecommerce shopping carts, article manager so you can
add news or company articles, content management software
so you can manage page content, and more. Please see
the OPTIONS sections for more information and pricing
Q.
Are the images on my website registered and protected?
A. Yes. All images used on the websites are paid for
by Great BiZDesigns and are owned by Great BiZDesigns.
Q.
What if I don't want my web site anymore. What do
I do?
A. Each contract is for one year. When that year is
up, please contact our customer support department
and cancel your account. Once the account is cancelled,
your credit card information will not be billed and
your site will be removed from the server.
Q.
Can I move my website to another server?
A. Once the year term has been completed, you can move
the site to another server for a one time fee depending
on the site of your website. The following are fees
for sending you the files for your website:
• Starter Package: $100
• Mid Size: $150
• Corporate: $250
Once the site is moved to another server, your emails
will need to be set up with the new server. In addition,
your credit card will not be charged after the site
is moved.
Q.
Do you take payments other than credit cards?
A. We can take a check for the initial set up. However,
we require a credit card for the monthly hosting and
maintenance fees.
Q.
How can I see how many people are visiting my site?
A. For an additional $75 fee, we can set up Google
tracking which tracks visitors coming to your site.
You will get your own access to Google Analytics to
review your traffic. Google Analytics is not just
for a Google tracking; it's for all internet traffic
to your site. Read more about Google
Analytics here
Q.
How do I get my site listed higher on the search engines?
A. The search engines use different methods to determine
how sites are ranked. Click
here to read about the basics of search engine marketing.
Q.
What if there isn't a template that fits my business,
but I don't want to pay for a custom designed website.
What are my options?
A. If you don't see a template that will fit your
business, please contact our client liason for information
about customizing a different template or to review
our custom designs.
Q.
What if I already have a web site with a different hosting
company? Can I still use your service?
A. Our service is to build and maintain a professional looking website at a very little up front cost. The monthly fees are higher to subsidize that development cost. If you already have a website, we can direct the domain to our hosting company and the fees outlined in the development costs would apply. Your client liason would be able to change over the hosting so you can use our services. |
