.: Frequent Questions :.

What Is The Process

When you decide to get a website the first thing you should do is contact us. We will talk to you get a general idea what you are looking for in a website. The next thing you should do is to go to the web design page on Gopherdesign.com and click order a web design package, answer the questions there, and send them along to us. We will read over your answers and then combine all the information that you have given us and start to get a basic layout of your site. While this is going on we usually try to get pictures for your website. You can take pictures yourself and send them to us, or we can come and take them ourselves. After we get pictures and a basic design done we will give you a link so that you can view the "rough draft" of your website. At this stage we like to get feedback from you-what you like about the site and what you don't like about the site. Once you are satisfied with the layout we will ask you to put together some content for the site. Write down what information you want people to get from looking at your site. Once we get that we will put it on the website, make any further changes that you would like, set up your emails, and put your new website on the Internet for everyone to see!

How long will this take

The whole process takes about 30 days. We usually have a one or two week waiting period before we can start the process. After ordering, you can expect a live web site on the Internet within 45 days.

What If We Want Our Site Updated

For basic updates to your site all you have to do is contact us and we will take care of it! Just let us know what you want changed and we will do it. If you are thinking about a complete overhaul or significant changes contact us and we will work something out. If you want a name or a picture changed we will be able to do that, free of charge, usually within 48 hours. Something more complicated may take more time and might include a small fee.

What Is Hosting

Hosting is how you get your site on the Internet. We could design a site for you and put it on a CD and give it to you, but without hosting no one will ever see it. When hosting with us you will receive very detailed statistics that tell you how many visitors your site gets and what parts of your site they are looking at. Your hosting payments make it possible for your website to be on some of the best servers in the country. Our servers have a 99.9% guaranteed uptime and a 30 day satisfaction guarantee.

What Is A Domain Name

A domain name is what comes after the www. It is one of the ways that your customers will be able to find you on the Internet. Our domain name is "Gopherdesign.com", on most occasions we can make your domain name the name of your company. So this will be the name of your website as well as where your email is sent to. If your domain name is "yourcompany.com" then your email address will be "you@yourcompany.com". This is something that you will pick out and then we will register and maintain for you.
