How can I get more traffic to my Web site?
We build our websites to be "search engine friendly" and we register you site with the main search engines right after making your website live. However, client's should realize that these search engines contain millions of entries, and search engine registration alone will not necessarily bring thousands of visitors to your site overnight.

We recommend that our clients use a battery of marketing strategies to bring traffic to their site. These include, but are not limited to the following:

• Publicize your URL (Web site address) on your business cards, fax cover sheets, company letterhead, etc.
• Register your own domain name (e.g., yourcompany.com). It's more professional and easier to remember than a long URL that attaches your name to the name of your Internet Service Provider.
• Advertise your Web site anywhere you can: on the radio, in print ads and on television. If these media are already in your marketing plan, it's easy to include your URL at the end of the ad.
• Make sure you're registered with the major search engines and directories.
• Get others to link to your site. If we developed your site, you'll be linked to our site.
• Keep your site fresh.
• Make your site valuable to your visitors. Keep your nagivation simple so visitors can easily access the information they are looking for.
• Announce your new site with a press release.
• Create an ad banner campaign.
  
  

How much will it cost?
How much a site costs to design depends on a number of factors:

• number of pages on the site
• types and number of graphic images on the site
• amount of interactivity
• programming
• web copy writing
• online marketing

Most html websites (without ecommerce, database or Flash) costs between $100-$300 per page. If you website will have more images and content, the costs will be higher. Their might also be additional charges for using stock photography, search engine optimization and special features. Before we send you a design contract, we provide you with an estimate/quote for the amount of time it usually takes to complete your specific design project. We have completed multiple design projects that fell below the estimated time. Clients only pay for the time taken to complete a design project. We offer a free consultation and quote and believe that every client has unique needs. For more information please email us.

Can I see how many visitors I've had to my website?
Yes we can add web tracking software which records where you visitors are coming from and which pages they looked at, which search engines are being used, which phrases are being typed into which search engines and many more interesting web tracking facts which you should find useful for future marketing campaigns.


What is a domain name and why do I need one?
A domain name is your website's unique address and is your identity on the World Wide Web. As an example, the domain name for Nagy Communication Design is susannenagy.com. The most common domain names will end in .com, .net, or .org, but there are many more to choose from. Not only does it give people a way to find your website, it should also give them an easy way to return and to tell their friends to do the same. Your domain name is also is the basic identity for your company's e-mail addresses (jane@yourcompany.com). You can register your own domain name through one of the many online services. After your registration, you will be given the full access information to a personal domain name control panel if you wish. In many cases, our clients request us to manage, update, transfer or change their registration information so they don't have to worry about learning the technical aspects of web maintenance.

Your hosting package will need special features if you plan to have a storefront on your Web site, if you will be connected to a database, or if you have special programming requirements.
