How to I get started?
Simply contact us, fill-in our contact form and we will contact you. Please tell us who your target market is on the web. We will then come back to you with three design options. You simply approve one of them and we will send you an invoice for your selected Option (see our Costs menu tag above). Once payment confirmed we setup your Option for you. You will be able to edit your website when we send your Username and Password.
What online support do you give?
We provide online support to assist you with your administration of your website. Any questions please contact us.
Will we need to have a meeting in connection with the website design?
One way of keeping your costs low and as in the majority of cases a meeting isn't necessary and most of our websites are generally completed with contact via email and telephone only. We place suggested website designs onto the Internet in a private place where only you and us can view the content. We then liaise with you regularly to discuss the web design in order that the design and functionality is exactly as you want.
There are hundreds of Web design companies out there. What makes you different?
There are many people that think that since they simply own some Web publishing software, that they can put up a Web site and call themselves Professional Web Designers.
At Epnet Design, we take your project seriously. This is not something that we do part-time or on the side. We have 14 years of experience in the Web world. We've invested in what we consider to be the best Web design software on the market and more importantly, we know how to use it to give you the results you want. In addition, since we operate a small business, we are able to give each and every client the personalized attention that they deserve.
Unlike most other Web design firms, we have taken the time to educate ourselves in the areas of search engine optimization. We have both web copywriting and search engine optimization skills which help create your site in such a way that it receives prime consideration for inclusion with the major engines. We are able to provide you with keyword analyses, keyword saturated copy, concise and effective META tags, and a design that helps - rather than hinders - your positioning.
Do you do personal or individual web sites?
Certainly. Whatever your web site requirements we aim to help. Perhaps you're a gardener wanting to provide more details on your services that would be too costly to include in a leaflet drop or newspaper advert. Or perhaps you want a personal site to let the world know about you're sizeable collection of rare stamps - if you have the will to succeed on the web then we will assist you.
I already have hosting set up. Can I use that?
No. We insist that you use our hosting. There are several reasons. First, we know our Web Servers are ultra reliable which means that our system rarely, if ever, fails. It means that your website will be online 99.9% of the time. This is not true of some of the cheaper hosting packages. Second, we use powerful computers and fast bandwidth which means that your website will not take ages to load. Again,this is not true of all hosts. Thirdly, we know the system inside out, so we are able to offer you free support if you have a issues.
Will my website appear on Google?
Yes it will and everything possible will be done to optimise your site for Google when the site is built. However, Google is an independent search engine company. How it decides which websites to show in its search result is a closely guarded corporate secret. A web designer can design a site so that it is search engine friendly (10% of what Google looks for when assessing a site) and you can build up incoming links to your site to help boost its online presence (90% of what Google looks for when assessing a site). However, it is Google and Google alone who decides what to show in its search results, and apart from building a search engine friendly site, there is nothing a designer can do influence your Google ranking. That said, all of our sites rank very well on Google as they are all well designed and programmed. One of the greatest Search Engine influences is that your website has unique, fresh content and the more of this you have the higher your website will be ranked. So it is not only up to us but also up to you to provide good quality content on your site.
Can I see how many visitors I've had to my website?
Yes we provide web tracking software which records where you visitors are coming from and which pages they looked at, which search engines are being used, which phrases are being typed into which search engines and many more interesting web tracking facts which you should find useful for future marketing campaigns.
How much content can I have per page?
A web page could contain a single word or a whole novel. As a general guide we would say up to 400 words and 2-3 photos per page. It all depends on the content and its nature.
How many pages can I have on my web site?
As many as you like. From a search engines point a view - The more the better!
Can I register a domain name through Epnet?
Yes absolutely! Domain registration is an important service we offer.
How can you help my business gain more customers from the Internet?
Epnet combines four critical services to help you win more customers through the Internet. These include professional website design, persuasive sales copy, user-friendly programming like contact/order forms, and search engine marketing.
Customers find your website through the top search engines by searching on keywords related to your products or services. Once they are on your website, your design creates a strong first impression that tells them you aren't a fly-by-night operation. Next, they are pulled in by persuasive sales copy that was written specifically to answer their questions and help them make an immediate decision to contact you or make a purchase. Finally, we create easy-to-use forms that make contacting your company or making a purchase very simple.
What happens when I complete your contact form?
If you are making an inquiry about a possible site you would like created, please provide a brief outline of your requirements including your target market. We will then mail you back promptly with an idea of price/timescale and any suggestions with regard to your project. You are not obliged to use our services at any stage during this process, so feel free to use the form to ask any related questions you may have
Do you create web pages that are compatible with wireless devices such as cell phones and PDAs?
We create web sites and web applications that can be viewed across just about any browser, whether it is on your desktop computer, laptop computer or your cell phone.
