FAQ

Why use you for my web development?

I have 26 years of experience creating customized and professional websites for clients. But more importantly, with a professional degree in Business as well as Computer Science, I have a unique skillset which enables me to understand WHAT you need to get done as well as HOW it needs to be done.

I will not hammer you over the head with "tech-jargon" that you do not need (or care) to understand. Rather, I will work hands-on with you to understand the needs of your business. I will then translate your needs into the creation (or maintainance) of a web presence.

How long does it take for you to create a website?

Unlike many developers, I do not allocate a pre-defined amount of time to all projects. Rather, I will work the number of hours necessary to get a job done correctly (the first time). Length of work is completely dependent on the complexity of the project and how detailed the requirements are.

At request, I will gladly offer you an estimate.

What do you charge?

If you would like a NEW website created, please review pricing and options here. There is not a "boilerplate" solution or cost for any website, but the majority fall between $650 - $1500 (starting from scratch).

For freelance work, I charge a base rate of $45/hr for development & web consultation.

Can you maintain my existing website?

Yes, I offer what is called Webmaster Support. I will gladly service and maintain your existing website.

If you do development work for my site and something breaks down the road, will you fix it?

Absolutely!

I am very profecient in my work and when I complete a job, it is my intention that it will continue to work correctly.

However, I am not presumptuous enough to believe that errors will never occur. Therefore, it is my guarantee that if you EVER experience a technical difficulty from a web application I created, it will be fixed, free of charge.

What benefits can you provide for my website?

I can implement and design a range of features for your site that, in essence, will add value to your business. To name a few, the following is available to you:

• Integration with Paypal, allowing you to receive payments from customers.
• A content management system (CMS)
• A "backend" admin panel (for editing menus, users, customer info, etc).
• Customized databases which will allow for easy data storage and retrival.
• A set of web "tools" which can integrate into your layout:
  • Login Screens
  • Comment 'Boards' / Rating Scales
  • 'Contact Us' Forms
  • Site Analytics
  • Calendars
  • Web Forums (community interaction)
  • Image Manipulation
  • SEO (search engine optimization)
  • File Uploading
  • And many more...

In addition, I try whenever possible to make high ultilization of the new technology, AJAX, made popular by Google. Using AJAX, I can minimize page-loads and thus make site navigation easier and faster.

Can you provide references?

Yes.
