WHY DO I NEED A WEBSITE?
Simply put, because your competitors probably do. But more importantly,
as noted by Entreprenuer magazine, websites are "the most overlooked
vehicle of advertising." Entrepreneur suggests that anyone who is in the
Yellow Pages should also be online.
The biggest reason is because your presence on the Internet will be
constant. Your television ad runs for thirty seconds or one minute. Your
newspaper ad runs for one day. But your website is online all day, every
day, allowing your customers to find out more about you any time they
want.
WHY DOES DESIGN MATTER?
According to researchers at Carleton University in Ottawa, Internet
users judge the aesthetics of a website in about one-twentieth of
a second - less than the blink of an eye.
If your design is not visually pleasing, you run the risk of driving
visitors away. With that in mind, at Saint Web Design we've partnered
with one of the best and brightest graphic designers in Upstate NY,
Elisa Sheehan of Lis Design.
We encourage you to visit the Lis Design website
for more information.
WHAT DOES A STANDARD WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT COST?
Every business is different, so every website is different.
Therefore, it's difficult to project a flat rate for an entire website
development project. Cost depends on the scope of the project - including
the size and types of development necessary.
At Saint Web Design, we work to meet all of your needs. We'll customize
your website solution to suit your time and budget constraints.
WHAT ARE YOUR HOURLY RATES?
Hourly rates vary depending on the type of work being done. Basic HTML code
development is billed at $50 an hour. Advanced code development, like JavaScript,
PHP, and Perl/CGI is billed at $75 an hour. All worked is billed in
quarter-hour increments.
If you have a question about the rates for other services, please email
us at quote@saintwebdesign.com
WHAT DO ALL THOSE SERVICES LISTED ON THE RIGHT SIDE MEAN?

glossary page.
I ALREADY HAVE A WEBSITE THAT NOBODY VISITS. WHY SHOULD I INVEST MORE MONEY IN IT?
The first reason is because of question #1 - every business should have
a website. Maybe you're lacking visitors because your design needs to be
reworked to be more attractive. Or maybe you have one of the most beautiful
websites in the world, but nobody knows about it.
At Saint Web Design, we'll work with you to figure out how to attract visitors
to your site. If it means redesigning, we'll do it. If it means optimizing it
for the major search engines, we'll do that. If it means marketing it more, through
programs like Google AdSense, we can do that too.
