Frequently Asked Questions
What are
the benefits of having a website?
- Expand your hours of operation.
-
A website can allow your business or organization to be "open" and operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, providing information and even selling products and services right from your website.
- Reduce information delivery and staff costs.
-
Reduce or eliminate printing, faxing, postage and handling, long-distance, and customer service and sales staff costs. Visitors can access information about your products and services right from your website at their convenience. This reduces incoming customer service calls and, thus, demands on costly staff time.
- Keep information up-to-date and always within reach.
-
Unlike a printed brochure, business card or catalog, no one can misplace or lose your website! Website content can be changed in minutes, allowing you to keep information accurate and timely at far less cost than reprinting brochures, catalogs and business cards every time updates are needed. And when you're on the web, people always know where to find you.
- Expand your customer base with unlimited advertising.
-
Whether your focus is local, regional or world-wide, you can reach a larger audience on the web – in full-color, sound and motion – at a remarkably reasonable "advertising" cost. And unlike other marketing mediums such as television, print, and radio, there are no time, space, or size restrictions to your digital "ad."

How much will my
website cost?
Website design costs vary based on your company's particular needs.
For example: How large does the site need to be? Will the site need
dynamic content? Does the copy need to be written or will it be
provided? Are digital graphics readily available or do you need
photographs taken? At Jaha Design, I make every effort to work
within your company's budget to provide you with a high-quality, professional
site. Check my Services page to see the cost of a "standard" website

I am not located near you, can you still do my website?
Many of my clients I have never met in person and are not located close-by. If I can obtain the content, I can create the site.

How
much does hosting cost and how do I set it up?
There are many hosting companies and plans to choose from on the
internet. Costs range anywhere from free to hundreds of dollars
per month. The fees will be based on several variables such as how
much space your site needs, how much bandwidth is included, how many
email accounts are provided and the availability of live support.
I can recommend several hosting options and/or I can
setup hosting for you.

Are there any drawbacks
to using Flash presentations on my website?
Yes, there are several reasons not to use Flash or at least to use
it only sparingly. The main drawback is that search engines cannot
index the content of a Flash presentation. You may have the most
stunning website ever created, but if no one can find it, what good
is it doing for your company? There is also a chance users may have
to download or update their Flash Player to view your site.

What does Search Engine Optimization mean?
In order for a potential client to find your site, it should be
optimized correctly for the search engine spiders to catalog it in
their databases. Factors affecting your website's ranking in the
search engine results include meta tags, keywords, title, inbound
links and content.

How
do I update my site after it is up and running?
After the final draft of your website has been approved and uploaded,
you should try to keep the information as current as possible. This
gives visitors a reason to return to your site. I offer employee training for site maintenance or
I can maintain the site for you for with several plans to choose from or on a need-by-need
basis.

Why
doesn't Jaha Design use templates to create my site?
Templates look like templates. Many times they do not display
the same in all browsers, have poor color schemes, are not easy to
navigate through, and most importantly do not reflect your company's
own identity... they generally look unprofessional.
I would rather work with you to create a professional, custom-designed
website.

How long will it take you to design my site?
Typically, 7-10 days. It all depends on how quickly information is provided.
