Why Do I Need a Web site?A Web site can be an inexpensive way to provide customer service, keep in touch with customers and even help enhance sales. One of the things to keep in mind is that the World Wide Web is an international network, so the reach of potential customers is far greater than local advertising exposure. Also keep an eye on your competition - if they have a web site that may be enough of an argument for you to invest in a web site.How long does it take to create a Web site? Every project is different and can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months. It all depends on the specification of what will need to be done in the Development process. Please contact us to discover how reasonable it is to get the site you want. NOLAGraphics has designed sites of all sizes. If a client can provide a well organized plan including detailed information on the site design as well as the quantity and format of content to be included, NOLAGraphics is happy to provide a quote for the cost of implementation of the plan. When a client does not have such a plan, we are happy to work with them on a consulting basis to develop the necessary plan. Once the plan is created, we can provide a quote for the cost of its implementation. A client may also opt to proceed with the implementation of the plan by means of contracting at an hourly rate. Payment for quoted projects is 50% up front, 50% upon completion. Some clients may prefer the flexibility of developing their site on a "pay as you go" basis. In this case we are happy to provide website design and consultation services at an hourly rate. Contract Services at an Hourly Rate Depending on the size of the project, a small deposit is required up front, and is credited toward the initial work. Unless otherwise negotiated, the client will be invoiced on a bi-weekly basis.

Promote There is a school of thought that holds the "if you build it they will come" attitude. This is simply not the case. A web site must be promoted in order to be effective. There are many ways in which you can promote your own website, and with little expense.
