| Frequently Asked Questions About Websites
Page Last Updated: August 21,2008
 How long have you been in business? How many websites
have you developed?
 We have been in computer business since 1976.
We have been building websites ever since the Web emerged in 1994.
We have built thousands of webpages, and more than ten very large websites.
We know how to build a website that can attract millions of customers.
How much do you charge for a website?
We can build you a starter website for $499 (that includes
hosting, and web promotion for one year).
Of course, the price is dependent on the features and complexity of your website
and your business.
Some websites can cost millions of dollars to build.
Who will maintain the website?
You have the option of a self-service website, or you can have
us update it for you after you send us the change requests via e-mail.
We are able to offer website maintenance serviced based out of India, which have
proven very cost effective.
How long will it take you to build a website?
Anywhere from 5 minutes to few years. We have done both.
To be honest, a website is never finished, and always is work-in-progress, due
to the dynamic nature of the web and unstability of marketing stragegies in the
online world.
What industries have you worked with?
We mostly work with small businesses, although we have done very
large websites for retailers, universities, journal publishers, and content
aggregators. We have also helped many hobbiests and info-enterpreneurs,
Can you help me with a blog? I need to customize
WordPress.
While we certainly can help you with setup of a blog, we prefer
to use our own engine, SimplyBlog.
We have discovered that popular softwares also come with their own baggage.
There was a time when everybody was using Blogger.com. Then they switched to
Movable Type, then to WordPress. The switches have had their own nightmares. By
using our own, we are adhereing to something we know and that way, your blog can
be unique -- not using the readymade templates is one way to keep it unique.
What technologies do you use to build websites?
We use our own homegrown, properitary technologies,. Most of the
softeware and content development is done on Microsoft platforms. For sites that
require extreme scalability, we render the websites into static pages and publish
them to high performance Linux and Apache servers.
How will you promote my website?
The best, and perhaps the only way to promote a website is to
build a better website. That done, we use directory listings, banner
advertisements and other established best practices to promote your website. See
