Q: Do I need to be a computer wiz,
or even own a computer to have my own web site?
A: No! All aspects of your design
and maintenance are handled for you.
Q:
What is hosting?
A: Hosting is the term which refers to a service which gives
your website a place to "reside", so that the world
can view it online. Hosting companies run dedicates
server computers which are connected to the internet at all
times, allowing access to the websites which they host.
Q:
Do I need to submit my site to search engines?
A: Although it is not required, submitting your site to search
engines greatly increases the chance of being visited by the
general public. Search engine optimization prepares and
optimizes your site so it can be more easily found by a search
engine when an internet user searches for a certain phrase or
term which is related to your site content.
Q:
What is a domain?
A: A domain is a name reserved for your website.
Examples include www.compueze.com and
www.yourbusiness.net. A domain needs to be registered,
and remains the property of the owner as long as the renewal
fees are paid. No one can take a unique domain name
unless released or not renewed by the owner.
Q:
What types of recurring costs can I expect from a website?
A: Depending on the complexity and nature of your site, the
only real recurring costs involved are hosting costs and
maintenance costs. domain renewal fees are inexpensive and
only due yearly. Other fees for optional services
include shopping cart fees, e-commerce fees, maintenance fees,
and search engine submission fees.
Q:
How long does it take to build a website?
A: A basic, 5-page website can be up and running in as little
as two weeks.
Q:
Can I make changes to my website myself after it is published?
A: Although it is possible for a client to use a web editor to
alter a website, we do not recommend it, for the simple reason
of the possibility of corruption of the original html
code. Website coding is a very complex language which
can easily be corrupted and compromised, even with the
slightest alterations. We offer very affordable
maintenance rates to our clients on a per-needed basis only-WE
NEVER CHARGE YOU FOR MAINTENANCE THAT YOU DO NOT USE!
Q:
Is my website really mine after it is complete? I have heard
that some web development firms retain the rights to a website
that they design!
A: Yes, the website becomes the complete and absolute property
of the client. Although some firms do retain certain
rights of the client's site, Compu-Eze works on a
"work-for-hire" basis, which means you alone get the
rights to the website.
