frequently asked questions 

How much will a website cost?

That depends on several factors that YOU will determine. How many pages and how complex? Will you provide photography or do I need to search for images on your behalf? Will you provide the text or do I need to hire a writer to work with you? It's easiest to think of your website in terms of a flowchart. This will help you get started and get organized to determine the page count. Once you figure out all of the variables, then Contact us for a FREE estimate!

Do you design for printed materials, too?

Yes, absolutely, anything from logo design to brochures to billboards and everything in between. Look through some of the samples in our online portfolio.

What is website "hosting"? Do I have to have it? 

Once your website is designed, the actual files must be placed on a "public” server where the world can access your new site. Hosting is the “placing on a server” step. Generally, there is a monthly fee based on the amount of bandwidth and traffic that your site will receive. Starting at $119.40 / year with StartWithADomain.com

Can you make my printed brochure into a website?

Yes and no. There are design differences between the two worlds of print and web. However, most elements can be modified or slightly adjusted to work for the web, too. The differences being the graphics are created differently. Printed materials use high resolution graphis (300 dpi) and web design uses low resolution graphics (72 dpi or 96 dpi). It is not good practice to make a web graphic into a high resolution graphic. But you can make a high resolution graphic into a low resolution one. If you are planning on creating both a brochure and a website, we recommend starting with the brochure first. The proportions may be different but can be modified more cost effectively than the other way around.
