Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why should I pay somebody for a website? My nephew just got a new computer and says he has a web authoring package and can do the job for free.

A: We love this question. If someone came to your door and showed you a nice new hammer, would you trust them to remodel your home?

Q: How much does a website cost?

A: That's a bit like asking how much does a car cost. Is that a Hyundai or a Jaquar? But unlike a car, you can start with a Hyundai and over time implement functionality that soups it up to a Jaguar. Wherever your budget range is, we can build a reliable vehicle for you.

HTML

All web are pages authored by hand to the following cutting edge standards:

XHTML 1.0 Strict markup
W3C Validated Markup and CSS
(We do cheat occasionally for crossbrowser special effects in css that don't pass validation, but work flawlessly nonetheless. The validators have their quirks... The css for this site has errors - but they sure do make the scrollbars pretty in IE and the onmouseover layer transparency work cross-browser.)
Clear, concise and consistent navigation.
External CSS/TableLess Layout
(To control the style and layout of all pages from one source.)
External JS
(To control the javascript functionality of all pages from one source.)
Include files
(To control the common content of all pages from one source.)
Encoded email addresses
(To keep your addresses off of the spammer's lists.)
Tested and tweaked for consistency across major current stable browsers, to be defined by name and version at time of development.

We don't use HTML generators - because, as good as some are, they still get in the way of squeaky clean coding. We know the bones of HTML - and how to tame it when it goes awry. All of our work is custom - no cookie cutter solutions.

We are confident that the quality of our work is evident with a comparison of our website vs those of our competition. The difference is experience and attention to detail. A few samples of our work can be found HERE.

Graphics

Graphics for the web are a different beast than graphics for print. We know all of the tricks to create crisp images that load quickly.

Technology Consulting

Know that you need a solution, but hazy on the details? We can consult with you to clarify your objectives and recommend appropriate technologies.

Hosting

We provide ultra reliable website hosting at affordable prices. No clueless call center folks here, we know our server and resolve rare problems promptly. You can have as much or as little control as you like with CPanel administration.
