What is important to look for in a website designer?

The best web development companies are strong in code, design and marketing.

The first requirement is the ability to hand code your site using HTML & CSS. Good clean code generation is imperative for your website to perform in the search engines. There are many programs like Microsoft Front Page and Macromedia Dreamweaver that are capable of generating code for the website designer. The problem with these programs is that they don't generate clean code. Most web designers will not accept sites from other designers that have been developed using these programs. This results in the loss of your initial investment and all you can do is start over.

The second requirement is graphic design skills. A website must also be professionaly designed so that your site accurately reflects your company's style and reputation. This can make the difference between someone choosing your service or products over another company's.

The third requirement is website marketing. If a web development company lacks experience and knowledge in SEO/online marketing, your website may not have a chance in the search engines.

How much does a web site cost?

We custom quote each website project because each of our customers needs are different. A basic site may cost around $1,500 while a more complex e-commerce site may cost $4,000-$10,000+.

Does my website designer need to be local?

Our customers are located all over the United States. By using the Internet, email and the telephone, it is possible to communicate effectively with clients in any location.

How long does it take to have a web site designed?

The time frame is determined by the size and complexity of your web site. Most sites can be developed within 4 - 6 weeks.

What is a domain name?

A domain name is a specific website address that you choose to identify your website online. Our domain name is "www.pmg-web-design.com".

My website is currently hosted through another website designer and I would like to switch over to PMG Web Design. How do I do this?

Just contact us and let us know that you wish to transfer your account to PMG Web Design and we will take care of the entire process.

Does PMG Web Design have to host my site?

No. You can host it anywhere you wish as long as the account has the necessary web services. We prefer to provide the hosting for your website because it makes it easier to manage. We have relationships with the hosting companies and can resolve issues quicker than with a hosting company we are not familiar with.

What is web hosting?

Website hosting is required for your website to be accessible on the Internet. A hosting company maintains the servers where your files are stored. They help to ensure your site is up and running 99.9% of the time. Hosting companies also possess the communication equipment to ensure fast access to your site so that your pages load quickly. Hosting is based on a annual fee that you pay to have your site accessible on the Internet. We do provide web hosting for our clients.

What is website maintenance?

Maintenance is the process of updating a website once the initial design phase has been completed. We have both annual and hourly maintenance plans. Most good web sites have new content updated regularly. Fresh content is what will keep your visitors coming back. We also offer Content Management Systems that will allow you to maintain your own website.

My website is not getting any traffic, what can I do?

We offer a variety of search engine optimization services ranging from basic search engine submission to reciprocal link exchanges and site content evaluations. All of these services can help to increase traffic to your site, thus converting your website into a lead/sales generating tool for your business.
