Frequently Asked Questions

If your question is not listed below, please contact us for further assistance.

How much will it cost?
The cost of designing a web site is based on the services requested for each web site design. For example, the number of pages, logo design, etc. A custom quote saves you money, by only including those features required for your particular business. You do not pay for services that you do not need!

JDB web design does NOT charge by the hour when designing sites. Each quote reflects a completed fully functional web site. There are NO hidden costs. Get a Custom Quote.

Will my site display properly in Internet Explorer, Netscape and Firefox?
Yes. Your site is tested for browser compatibility in Internet Explorer, Netscape and Firefox. These two browsers account for approximately 90% of all users. Your web site is also checked for compatibility in other browsers as well.

What do I need to provide to have a web site created?
After placing your order, JDB web design will send you a Questionnaire Form. This form consists of general questions that will assist in the development of your web site. Sample questions:

Your slogan
Company colors and fonts
Logos
Address/Phone to use on Internet
Email accounts and email forwarding
... and more

This form will need to be completed and emailed back. Scanning services are included and all materials submitted are returned upon completion of your site.

What is web hosting?
Web hosting is a means of housing your web pages on the Internet. Similar to renting a house, you pay a monthly fee to store your pages and have them accessible on the world wide web. There are many hosting companies available and JDB web design matches your needs with the best price and services available at the time of order. JDB web design is not a hosting company.

Is there a fee every time I need to change or update my web site?
Once your site is completed, you have the opportunity to purchase a Maintenance Plan. A Maintenance plan is only needed if you do not wish to make changes or update your web site yourself. All plans are customized based only on the update services you request.

I already have a site and only wish to improve it?
We also offer complete redesign of an existing site. We can use your existing text data and apply a new "look and feel" to your web site.

How long does it take to complete a web site?
The average web site can be completed in 10 - 15 business days. This time may vary depending on the size of your web site. You will be given a completion date before your order is processed. All work is completed within the quoted time frame to allow you to prepare and plan for any additional advertising you may wish to schedule for your web site.

Can I be responsible for changing and updating my own web site after completion?
Yes. Our web sites are designed to be easily updated using a variety of programs and online updating access. JDB web design does not provide "teaching" services of software or programs which you may acquire to update your web site with.

Who "owns" the web site after it is created?
The web site is yours - you own it 100%. JDB web design reserves the right to display any development (web design, banner, logo or other) in our online portfolio if desired. We also hold the right to place a "designed by" reference on your site.
