How much does a website really cost?
It depends on your requirements. For example, when we say that our Showcase Website “starts at” $895, a specific menu of features is included at that price. Extra web pages, site add-ons, complex coding, forms, copywriting, extensive photo galleries and so on are available at reasonable extra cost. Click here for details.

How do I get a domain name?
Ovation Creative can help you choose and register an appropriate domain for your website. By the way, here’s a helpful tip ... your domain name doesn’t have to be the same as the name of your company! There are abbreviated versions and other variations to consider, too.

How do we get started?
After we discuss your website ideas and requirements, Ovation Creative will prepare a Web Design Contract for you to review and approve. We request a 50 percent down payment at the time you sign your contract; the balance is due when we’re ready to publish your site to the Internet.

Can you explain the website design process?
The design process begins as soon as we receive your signed contract. After you approve the initial design and it’s fine-tuned for a perfect fit, we will begin adding page content and coding.

How long does it take to complete a website?
Although turnaround time depends on the scope and complexity of your site design, most multi-page websites can be online in as little as two weeks ... as little as five business days for our one-page Start-Up Website. We’ll be able to provide a more accurate estimate once we begin work on your site.

Should I include Flash on my website?
This may surprise you, but we really don’t recommend it! Please download our informative article for more details on this subject.

Do you guarantee your work?
We’re not happy with your site until you are! However, we do ask that you sign off on your general website design so that “tweaks” do not go on indefinitely. If we can’t come up with something you like (it hasn’t happened yet!), you are free to go to another web developer. We will only keep the agreed-upon down payment for time already spent. More details are provided in our Web Design Contract.

Why do some websites seem so small on my screen?
If some websites look like they take up very little room on your screen, that’s because there’s more than one configuration possible for the resolution of your computer’s monitor. Many computers still come “out of the box” with a monitor resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. Others have a higher resolution of 1024 x 768 or more. Websites designed for an 800 x 600 monitor will appear much smaller if your screen is a higher resolution. You can test this out yourself by changing the resolution on your own monitor.

Why do some people have problems finding my web address?
Believe it or not, you need to make sure they’re actually typing your website address into the “address bar” of a web browser ... not into a search engine like Google. The latter usually brings up hundreds of sites which may only be a partial match for the words in your URL.
