(3) What is a Domain Name? TOP
A domain name is simply a personalized Internet address (www.YOURNAMEHERE.com - or similar).
(4) I already have a website. Can ORAZIO WEB GROUP just redesign it for me? TOP
ABSOLUTELY!
(5) What exactly IS "Shockwave" and "FLASH" anyway?! TOP
Shockwave is a file format that allows designers to create stunning animated web graphics and display them in a FAST, efficient manner on the Internet. A special plugin is required to view "shockwave" and "flash" pages, but it is FREE from Macromedia and is being included with most newer releases of your favorite browser!
(6) Can you explain this "e-commerce" thing that I have been hearing so much about? TOP
Certainly. "E-commerce" simply refers any retail shopping outlet ON-LINE! Business that participate in "e-commerce" are those which have created and developed on-line purchasing of their goods and/or services globally. With on-line security at such impressive levels of development, consumers are 100,000's of times more likely to experience credit card fraud while shopping in physical "brick and mortar" stores that while on-line! With an "e-commerce" enabled website, your organization will be able to accept credit cards, display shipping progress of any and all orders, sell almost any product... all at a FRACTION of the cost of opening a physical store!
(7) Would a local company that only does business in a small confined area (city) benefit from having a web site? TOP
Compare the total population of your sales area to the number of
customers you have. Unless your company has been granted a monopoly by
the government, the total population will be much greater than the number of customers. Every day, more and more people are employing the internet to locate everything from airline tickets to xylophones. A web site can be a valuable tool in promoting your business.
(8) Do you consider page loading time, when you design a page or site? TOP
Yes. You can have the most beautiful page or site on the Internet, but it will be useless if no one waits for it to load. We utilize color techniques, compression and several other techniques and technological exploits to minimize load time.
(9) Does your Company's name and logo have to appear on the pages you design for me? TOP
No. We like to put our name on the first page of a site, so others can easily determine who designed and built the page or site. When clients include a "credits" or "colophon" page in their site, we like to be listed there, as well. This is solely to the discretion of our client and it won't affect the amount of our fee, regardless of the decision.
REMEMBER OWG AFFILIATE BANNERS WILL PAY YOU 10% OF THE GROSS ON ALL WORK GENERATED BY THE BANNER.
(10) How long will it take you to complete my pages? TOP
In general, you should expect delivery of any of the special package web sites within seven days or less. For custom designed sites, we include the anticipated completion time in the proposal which we provide to you.
(11) I don't want a business site. I just want a personal web site. Can you help me? TOP
Yes we can help. As a matter of fact we can design any web site. Business, medical, personal, political, satirical, or comical we can design it for you.
(12) What do I need to supply ORAZIO WEB GROUP with when beginning my project? TOP
Before the layout process can begin, we ask that you supply all necessary text, photos, or artwork that you wish to include in your site. In addition please be prepared to give us any style guidelines your company may have established in relation to layout elements (fonts, corporate colors, etc) this will help us develop a site that has a look and feel consistent with your existing materials.
(13) What do I need to give you if I want a banner made? TOP
When asking for a banner to be designed, provide as much information as possible regarding what you want on the banner. Include anything that specifically needs to be on the banner (motto, logo, etc). Also, if you already have an idea for a banner, let us know. Most likely we will be able to do just as you imagined.
