Web Design FAQ

Does my business need a website?
Ask yourself, "Does my business need 24-hour exposure 7 days a week, 365 days a year?" The answer is obvious. What other medium allows you to expose all the benefits of your small business to your target market at their convenience and provide a source of direct correspondence from them to you? The benefits of a website are innumerable.

How long will it take for my web site to be designed?
It is often dictated by the client. If you have a deadline in mind we will endeavor to meet it for you. The most common delay in the creation and completion of a new website is waiting for content (text/images) to be sent to us by the client.

Once my website design is completed, what after sales service do you offer?
We fully support any website we design. We offer web site maintenance so that your website need never get out of date.

What is a host and does my small business website need one?
A host is a company that connects your small business website to the World Wide Web 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.  If your website has sophisticated functional requirements, it is more convenient for a website developer to have complete control over the host server environment. For this reason, Zabe Design provides this service for as little as $10.00 per month.

What domain name should I choose?
This depends on how you are going to use it. If you are going to be telling people over the phone, choose one that is easy to say and spell out loud. Above all, I would choose one that is memorable and not confusing. For the purposes of search engine indexing, it is useful to use keywords related to your business in the domain name.

Will my website design be" Search Engine" friendly?
All our websites are created with search engine results in mind and every site we design is compliant with current search engine guidelines.

No. We discuss with you your website requirements and then price accordingly.  Once you have placed an order for your website design with us, that price is strictly adhered to. In fact, it is often our policy to under promise and over deliver.  We usually throw in a few "extras" that typically pop up over the course of a project.
