What is the difference between web design and web development?
In simple terms, web design is concerned with the layout and look of a web site, or the part that you see on your computer screen. Web development usually refers to not only web design, but also database development, proprietary programming and other "back-end" items.

Do you offer web development?
Yes and no. We currently do not offer database development or proprietary programming and scripting. However, we can install pre-made cgi scripts that can do a variety of things to make your site interactive, such as online polls, bulletin boards and forums, site search engines, and form processing.

What kinds of web designs can you do?
Our designers can create most any kind of design, from a whimsical personal site to a professional business site. For examples, please visit our online portfolio.

How do you determine the layout and overall design?
We ask you to help us out. We'll ask you to send us the URLs of a couple sites that you especially like and to pick the colors you like. We will make recommendations based on your selections, but your selections help us to determine what you like and give us a starting point for the initial design of your site.

Can I send you photos to use on my site?
By all means. You can either scan them yourself, and e-mail us the original scans, or you can send us the actual photographs and we'll scan them for you. Of course, if we scan the photos, we will send them back to you.

Will you take pictures of my business and store front?
Currently we will only do so if you live in the Las Vegas Valley. You will also be responsible for paying for film and processing, but we will give you the pictures and negatives upon completion of the project and final payment.

Can you create custom graphics for my site?
Yes, we can create custom graphics and logos for your site. We have several graphics programs at our disposal with which to create them. We also have a large supply of clip art that we can incorporate into your custom logo and graphics. Finally, we have access to a large library of stock and custom photos and graphics.

Can you add sound to my site?
We have a library of approximately 6000 sound effects that we can use to enhance your site aurally. However, we will not add copyrighted music to your site, unless you can get the rights to reproduce the music.

Can you add Flash to my site?
Currently, we do not have the capabilities to add Flash to web sites, although we expect to be able to offer Flash capabilities in the near future. However, we must point out that Flash can hinder your site's ability to be indexed in the search engines and found by people who use them to search for web sites like yours.

Your prices for custom web design are too expensive for me. Do you have any alternatives?
Yes, we currently offer pre-made web page templates for free or for sale. Check our web page templates section for more information.

How much do your web design services cost?
Our web design services start at $400. At that price, you will receive a page template with mouseover navigation and a custom logo, but you will be responsible for adding the content and other graphics and information. Your cost will increase if you want us to do more than that. For detailed information and pricing of our web design services, please visit our web design services section. Additionally, we require a 50% non-refundable deposit prior to beginning the project. The final 50% is due upon project completion. For design projects over $1500, we will set up a payment schedule and reduce the up-front deposit.

Do you offer a guarantee for your web design services?
Yes, we offer 100% satisfaction for all our web design services. If you're not happy, we'll keep at it until you are.

How long will it take for you to complete my web site?
It really depends on how much is involved and how many pages need to be built. However, for most web sites we estimate that it will take two weeks or less, barring delays in materials and content acquisition and approvals from you.

Will I be able to see my web site as you work on it?
Yes. We have a special area set up on our server where we will upload various parts of your site as they are completed for you to review and approve.

Do you have an update and maintenance service?
Yes, we offer web site updates and maintenance services with a unique pricing structure. Many design studios charge you a minimum monthly charge for updates and maintenance whether you need updates or maintenance or not. We're different. You only pay when you need those services and only for the time it takes us to accomplish your site updates or maintenance.
