Question:

There are two annual expenses.
- Your hosting (the internet server that stores your files, and is connected to the internet full time)
- Our hosting is $100 per year
- Most hosting companies, such as XO, Verio, and Hurrican Electric are $24 per month for simple plans, and $49 / month for database support, or shopping cart support. We will happily work with your current plan if you wish.

|
Question:
Does your hosting cover database support, Secured Server, and e-commerce for $100 per year? |
Answer:
Yes, and also ASP, Cold Fusion, PHP, unlimited ODBC connections, unlimited email addresses with your domain name, and web mail. |
Question:
With your hosting can I have a counter? |
Answer:
Yes, however counters are not necessary, because they only count hits, and hits don’t tell the whole story. Hits are just mouse clicks, not visitors. We have “live” stats, which means that you can check your server logs any time you want, and see how many visitors have been to your site. Server logs are more complex, they tell where the visitors came from, how they found your site, what pages they viewed, and for how long. You can also tell what key words visitors used to find your site. Live stats can be viewed online at any time. You won’t need any special software to view your server logs. It’s called “live” because it will also show who’s on your site now. |
Question:
Will I have to pay more to have an SSL Secure folder for my customers to enter their Credit Card information? |
Answer:
No, Our SSL folder is free for you to use. Most servers charge more for this feature, but we don’t. |
Question:
What is a Dynamic site? |
Answer:
The term “dynamic’ refers to sites where some of the information on the pages is published from a database on the web server. This means that you or one of your employees can add information or update some of the sites content, saving you money on maintenance. Instructions will be provided to help you with this.If you prefer, Art Z design will be glad to maintain your site for an hourly labor charge. |
Question:
What are the advantages to a dynamic site? |
Answer:
There are many advantages, but here are a few.
- The customer gets information from the server that is customized for their
specific interests.
- The information on dynamic sites can easily be edited by editing the database. Our dynamic sites come with a secret password protected area where the sites owner can use a series of web pages with forms to add new information or items, and edit and delete existing items. This gives the site owner complete control
over their page content.
- Prices, dates and other important information can be changed instantaneously,
and by your current staff.
|
Question:
What does a dynamic site look like? |
Answer:
The server side code produces standard html based on the visitor’s requests for information. From a browser, it’s almost impossible to tell the difference between static and dynamic pages. Our site is largely dynamic. |
Question:
What if we don’t want to edit our own site? |
Answer:
No Problem, we provide site maintenance for an hourly rate. We currently maintain over 30 sites. |
Question:
How long would it take for you to design our site? |
Answer:
Most sites take under 30 days to complete. This time frame is based on a typical project time line. |
Question:
Who will design my web site if we hire you? |
Answer:
We will, meaning you and us. We will perform necessary revisions in order to make sure that your website looks the way you want. The final design is the result of your desire, your vision, and our design skills. |
