faqs
Some of the most important faq's about design for your website:
- Will my pages look the same in every browser?
Yes, we will double check it in several browsers.
- How can I stop people stealing images from my page?
We will accomodate for this feature if you would like.
- What do I have to do to get my site listed in search engines?
This is not part of our original package structure, but we do offer these services, you may request a quote for this at any time.
- Do I have to learn HTML to update my Web pages?
Not if you don't want to. We can do this for a nominal fee for you any time you need assistance.
- Why can't I use any font on my Web pages?
HTML can only provide the name of the font, it can't describe the character shapes. If the person viewing your page doesn't have that font installed on their computer, they can't possibly see it because there is no outline description to draw the shape of the font. So we will give them a few so that their browser will be able to create a compatible one for them.
- Why do my colors look so different on my friend's machine?
Again, The color on a Web page are determined by mixing proportions of red, green and blue light inside the monitor. Unlike the standard ink colors, there are no standard red, green and blue light sources. The red, green and blue on one monitor is unlikely to be exactly the same as on another one, even if it's the same model – and the colors change over time. Any color you mix from those non-standard ones is unlikely to match from one monitor to another although it is possible to get them closer by tweaking the proportions slightly.
- What is the size limit for a Web page?
The quick answer is short! As small as possible. The size (bytecount) of your page, including any images, determines how long it takes to download. The question really is, how long will people wait for the page to download and render? Obviously it depends on the speed of their connection. A computer on a 500k broadband line is going to download about ten times faster that one on a 56k dial-up. You don't need to worry too much about the broadband users, it's those folk using the 56k modems that you have to consider, there still are a lot of them. Research has shown that once you go over 10 seconds, people start to get fidgety and start moving off elsewhere. So, we try to stay within the 50k/10 seconds mark.
- If I have a site built now can I have it re-designed later?
Of course, we would love to be able to keep your site fresh and still hold vital information for you. Just remember, re-designing is not part of the original price, so make sure you have all changes ready before we begin. We want to keep your costs as low as possible.
Remember, you get what you pay for. If you need to cut costs, remember to keep the content up to par so that the user wants to stay on your site. After all, that's why you had it built, right! To get customers or viewers. So try not to cut the costs so low that you don't get a nice site. At least make sure it is easy to read and navigate and that the content is what you want to tell the user.
