Frequently-Asked Questions

How long does it take to launch a web site?
I will work at any reasonable pace that you set and can usually get a basic site finished in a weekend.  Click here to learn more about the process involved...
 
 
How do I decide what style I want for my new site?
I invite you to spend some time browsing sites on the Internet that contain the look and feel that you like.  Although I will not copy someone else's work, seeing what appeals to you will give me a good idea about how to build your site.  Before our initial consultation, I recommend that you bookmark a few sites that we can review together.
 
 
What are the ongoing costs?
Your domain name expires every year and is subject to a renewal fee.  You may choose to renew it for up to ten years at a time, usually at a significant discount over the standard $35 annual charge.  Also, the web site hosting company charges a monthly or yearly fee, depending on the hosting plan that you have.  Part of my service is to help you select the best options for your individual needs, so I can usually advise you on what to expect for ongoing costs at the time of enrollment with these services.
 
 
Will I be charged for travel time?
When I make on-site visits outside the city limits of Montrose, travel time is billed at my standard hourly rate.  If your office is located within the city limits or we arrange to meet a neutral location in the city, I do not charge for travel time — only the time that we spend in our meeting.
