FAQ: Welcome To FAQ on website designing. Web design FAQ section is created to answer all the frequently asked website related questions.

Q: Do I need a website?
A: Simply put, in order to generate business, establishing a website for your company is another avenue that you should explore in order to increase your sales and to increase the exposure of your business. Millions of people across the world and indeed the UK use the Internet every day. Just look at the popularity of a site such as E-Bay. An impressive site equates to a well-respected reputation. It depends on you and your business. The goal of your website is to turn your website's traffic/visits into clients and/or sales. This is done with the correct Internet marketing approach that Computer Technologies can assist and build.

A: Computer Technologies offers web design from a leading designer in the industry. Computer Technologies designers have years of web design and usability experience.

Q: How long will it take to design my website?
A: Again, this is based on a number of factors. The complexity of your site, its size, and our current schedule all play a role in the duration of designing. Our designers are the best in the industry. We can usually complete an e-commerce web site in less than 10 to 15 working days, providing that all of the information is available.

Q: What is the difference between HTML and Flash? Which one is one better?
A: HTML and Flash are both used to build websites. They are both used for web development but there are some distinct differences.
HTML
A code to place and organize text, pictures and even Flash onto a web page. HTML is very efficient at displaying and organizing web pages and keeping the file size of the web page to a minimum.
FLASH
Flash is a multimedia tool commonly used to create animations and web pages for the web. Flash is not as efficient at creating web pages as HTML and its file size is generally larger resulting in a longer/slow load time for web pages, so rather then making the whole web site in FLASH you should go for the FLASH intro page to attract your customers or you may put small flash animation's on your web pages.

Q: Does my web designer have to be a local company?
A: No. Thanks to e-mail and telephones, we can easily communicate with clients in any location. We create the same high quality sites for clients who are local as well as those from out of the area.

Q: What sort of content do I put on my web site?
A: Depending on what you want to convey, the content can be customised to deliver that message. We have a team of content writers that can help produce well-written and informative material. You want to keep it simple, yet refreshing and informative. A "contact us" page is a necessity so that users can find out more about your company and what you can offer should also be featured on a "products/services" page. When outlining your products or business, it's important to prove your credibility and give the users what they want. The Internet is used for research, so include all relevant, interesting information about your company.

Q: Do I need web hosting, what is it?
A: Web Hosting is where your actual website (the files) reside on a web server (computer) for people to be able to access it via their web browser. You must have hosting somewhere in order for people to access from the web. Computer Technologies, currently offer hosting for all of our clients or you may prefer to organize your own hosting.

Q: How much does a web site cost?
A: There are many factors to consider when building your web site. The final cost of your site will depend on how many pages you are going to have, the type of graphics involved, how interactive your site will be. You will also need to think about web hosting and domain name registration. Because price is so variable from client to client, we strongly encourage you to contact us for a free Web Design Quote.
