Frequently Asked Questions |
 |
|
|
- Isn't having a website expensive? |
Not at all! All of our low priced packages cover 100% of design, set up, and keeping your site up and running on the web for a year. | |
|
- What happens after the first year? |
Regardless of your website's size, after the first year you'll pay just $99.00 a year to keep your website going. | |
|
- So how exactly does this work? |
Step 1:
Order the package you want by phone, fax or email Step 2: We'll be in touch to help you pick a web address (domain name) and we'll register it for you.
Step 3: From this point on, the process is no different than working with a printer who's doing a brochure for you. We'll get your ideas on how you want your website to look and we'll do a rough draft. Based on your feedback, we'll revise and polish your website.. and we'll do this as many times as necessary til you're satisfied. Step 4: Success! We launch your site! |

|
- Don't I need something bigger than a one page website? |
Maybe, maybe not. Just remember: Your website doesn't need to be expensive, gigantic and jammed with fancy graphics to do the job... it just needs to present your company or organization in a clear, attractive manner! |
|
|
- Will my website have those annoying banner ads and pop-up windows promoting other people's stuff? |
No! It's your website ... nothing goes on it unless you want it there! | |
|
- Doesn't my computer need to be on 24/7 for my website to work? |
No, your website doesn't rely on your computer. In fact, you don't even have to own a computer to have a website! Your website is housed on our secure servers that share your website with the world. This is called website hosting, and it's included in our flat rate fee. | |
|
- And how about if I've already signed up with another host? |
Again, not a problem --- you won't need to switch over to Barclay for hosting. We can still design your website and get it up and running on your current host's server. | |
|
- But what about changes? Aren't there charges for changes and add-ons? |
Generally changes are free as a courtesy as long as they're minor and infrequent. We'll let you know if you're requesting something that's billable. But you may not need to make changes very often, especially if your website is an "image piece". In any case, we think our rates for changes are reasonable. | |
|
- What am I getting myself into here? Will I be locked into Barclay? What if I want to change hosts or even take over making my own changes to my website? |
With Barclay you're always in the driver's seat, and you can replace us at any time. You or anyone you designate can take over your website at any time. We don't do anything to your website that would make it incompatible with someone else's server. There's only one password to your website, and you own it and control it. | |
|
- What about services to promote my website on the internet? I see companies that offer to promote and market my website by submitting it to "thousands of search engines" so that my site has a better chance of being "hit" when someone does a keyword search. Is it worth it? |
These services are a waste of
your money. Search engines --- such as Google, MSN, Yahoo and AOL --- rely
on the actual content and structure of your website. Our advice is to let us help you design a website that will attract the attention of the search engines... and then relax, be patient, and let the search engines do their job. |
