What
is Flash?
Flash in an animation and programming
language that has redefined the way web sites are presented. FLASH
can’t be beat for presentations, and even works well with databases
and other web applications. FLASH is extremely fast loading when
file sizes are the same…however FLASH development can be expensive…yet
rewarding.
- How do we choose pictures
for our project?
You can select from our Photo Search
in our Client Lounge, choose from any numerous online options
with members of our staff, schedule a photo shoot or have illustrations
drawn based on an agreed idea.
- Do
you provide Hosting?
Yes. To find more info on our hosting
solutions, click here.
- How
much do professionally designed web sites cost?
Normally $5,000 to upwards of $15,000 for
a well designed site with good copy and marketing direction.
There are lots of cheaper options for very
small businesses; however, these options seldom increase
sales or assist on streamlining businesses' processes. Ad
agencies often charge 100k or more for rather simple sites,
and many medium and large companies spend millions on their
web presence each year.
SEO, marketing and e-commerce are usually
factors that need to be considered as well.
- How do we decide upon a
home page theme or style?
First we research your provided information,
look at your competitors and schedule a meeting/conference call.
In this meeting or over the phone we discuss ideas to promote
a graphic theme and a marketing direction.
Sometimes ideas are kicked back and forth through
e-mail until we all decide on one that really excites us. In
our next phase we develop a “comp” of this concept!
- How
often should my site be updated?
At least once a week. Google loves
fresh information and more importantly so do your prospects. A
web site is like bread…it can go stale after a while.
- How much do I pay to get started?
40%, then 30% after you have approved the
design and the remaining 30% at fulfillment.
- Do you offer financing?
Yes. We offer interest free financing for
one year to qualified clients. You can call or e-mail to discuss
this in more detail.
- How is web content best
developed?
By providing us with a technical draft
and summary for each appropriate category. We will then re-consider
each category for maximum “browsability.” Assist
with editing each section for marketing appeal, calls to actions,
web optimization and sales procurement.
- Do you optimize for search
engines? Why is this important?
Yes we do! This is probably the most important
advertising and marketing mechanism in the world right now.
If your company can come up on the first 20 results for keywords
that are being typed in daily, it will simply trump traditional
advertising methods (And we do all types of advertising here!).
Over 70% of all consumers search the web
for products and services. Even TV can’t touch this… even
during the SuperBowl.
- Do you guarantee a top
spot?
Yes - top 20 results with SEO maintenance package.
I saw a custom web site design offered for $799
on the Internet!
You should hire them! :D Seriously, nothing
worthwhile can be built for that price or even triple that price.
But we respect your right to verify this option!
- Do you build ecommerce
sites?
Yes! We use UNIX and Linux based e-commerce
applications which save thousands of dollars in fees and are
constantly improved via “open source.” These carts
can be designed to look and interact in almost any fashion
you desire!
- What are web applications?
Here’s a link that explains web applications.
- How can you make my new
site different from everybody else’s?
Because we are better than everyone else!
Most sites don’t even start on the correct premises,
much less a decent concept. You can view examples of our site
design and judge for your self by clicking here!

- What causes color drift and color out of spec?
The accuracy limitations of CMYK printing are that the results can vary, sometimes greatly, depending on the range, how it is calibrated, and the particular color you are trying to print. Even the results from different digital printers or presses can vary, so color accuracy may be an issue, particularly if you're printing items at different times or with different printers. There are also colors that cannot be reproduced using the CMYK process - such as metallics and very bright colors. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you don't use spot colors in your document. Inevitably, the colors shift when processed in CMYK, and this could be a cause of the color out of spec you're experiencing. A good idea for designers might be to go into the Pantone Process Book and pick a process color that's as close to the spot color as possible, when choosing to use a four-color printer. Select a color that can be printed in CMYK. Use the process color instead; the color is much more likely to print.
- Why does my paper curl when I print on it?
The paper is slightly wet due to the ink and water being applied during the printing process. It needs about 1-2 weeks to completely dry depending on humidity. In most cases it's usable out of the box, but in high humidity places it could take a few days..
