Frequently Asked Questions

  • What kinds of businesses use WordPress for their websites?

    Over 22% of all websites online and 14% of Alexa’s Top 1 million websites now use WordPress to publish their websites, and that number is growing daily. Including such notables as CNN, Yahoo, Harvard, NASA, FOX, The New York Times, Flickr, Rolling Stone, Meebo, C|net, Le Monde, Nancy Pelosi, Rosie O’Donnell, Stephen Colbert, Anousheh Ansari, Stanford, MIT, Second Life, Xerox, The US Post Office, Ford Motors, and small to medium sized businesses just like yours.
  • How long does it take to get my site up and running ?

    Barring any unforeseen changes from you while we are building your website, whatever launch date I set, is the time that it will be done. I have finished new website builds as quick as 3 days for a rushed job, but generally plan on an average of 2-4 weeks. Communities and Network configurations can take longer. Believe it or not, most of the time is spent waiting on the client to provide or approve content, and other materials that they want included on the site.
  • Will I need my own domain and hosting?

    Yes you will. It is your identity online and an integral part of your overall marketing and communication. Hosting is necessary to run the website. I can help you with both. Generally speaking, it costs $12 a year to register “.com, .net, .us, or .org‘” extensions, and basic hosting is available for around $12 a month.
  • Will I be able to make basic changes and additions on my own ?

    Absolutely ! I’m not going to just dump your site on you without a clue of how to operate it. I will show you how to post to your blog (if applicable), and how to manage your site through the user friendly admin panel. Additional services are available if needed.
  • What do you need from me to get started ?

    Once we have determined your needs and set a rate and launch date, there is a deposit of 50% of the total invoice to get started, but besides that, there are a few things that we need from you to complete the project.Content: What do you want your website to say ? You will need to organize the content you want to use,that will best describe your business, We, of course, will help with editing for maximum optimization, but no one knows your business and what you want to portray like you do.

We can also help you choose from thousands of royalty free, professional digital images (additional costs vary) if needed.
  • What type of contracts or commitments are involved ?

    Outside of completing your website, I don’t require you to commit to any long term contracts with me, although I do offer additional support and maintenance services if you need them down the road. You retain complete ownership of your website and all the necessary files, including your domain. All invoices are due upon receipt.
