How long does it take to build a website?
Turn around can be very quick if you have the content and graphics already selected and edited. If you do not have your content or graphics ready, we can help, but it will take a little longer. After the initial meeting, most sites can be up and running in two to three weeks.

How do I pick a domain name? How do I find a web host?
We will help you with every step. Crunchy Byte doesn’t host websites, but we have had great experience working with several reliable vendors.

How expensive is web hosting?
Web hosting can be as little as $8 per month for a basic site. E-commerce sites begin at about $40 per month.

What if I want to change my existing website?
Any changes you want made to your existing site are charged at the same hourly rate as the initial build. 

Who owns my site?
You do! Once the initial build is complete, or at any point along the way, we will create a CD for you of all your websites’ files.   We have never had it happen, but if you decide not to work with us anymore, all of the design work you have paid for is yours.

How do I get listed on search engines?
When we build your site, we keep in mind how search engines work. We work hard to make sure your site is optimized and easy to reach via the most popular search engines.  Once it is finished, we will submit your site to the most popular search engines.

Can I get an email address to match my web address? (me@mydomain.com)
Most web hosts include a certain number of email addresses as part of the monthly fee. We will help you choose the right host for your site keeping in mind your desire for matching email addresses.  Once we have agreed upon and chosen a host, we will set-up your email account(s) for you.

What information do you need from me to get started?
The first step is to sit down and discuss what kind of site you are looking for. Before we can begin, we need to know about your business, your customers, and your intentions for you website.   The next step is amassing the information. Graphics, photos, logos, contact information and content all need to be available early in the process.

How will I know if anyone visits my site?
All of the web hosts we currently work with keep site statistics for you.  We will either show you how to access those statistics, or we will arrange to get them to you on a regular basis.

I have a great website!  Now what?
Tell everyone you know!  Put your new website on your business cards, voice mail or answering machine, flyers, yellow page ad, car signs, bumper stickers, handouts, pens, etc.  The more exposure your site, gets the better!
