Why is a website important?

 

If you are looking for an audience or more customers, the internet is where your business needs to be. Over 78% of Americans use the Internet to find companies that offer the services and products they want. It’s no wonder that small businesses with websites experience an average of 30% more income per year than those without them. It establishes credibility. When consumers can not find an a business online, it raises a red flag. Does this business really exist? Can I trust them? These days people are more skeptical than ever. Even when consumers do not buy online, they do research before hiring or buying products. Websites are flexible and allow your business to be available to your clients at all times, even during off hours.

 

How long does it take to create a page?

1-3 weeks

 

 

 

What is hosting?

A website has to live on a server. A server is a computer that is on 24 hours a day. All web pages have to be hosted on a server.

 

What is WordPress?

WordPress is a platform that allows us to create web pages quickly. WordPress is used by most web designers.

 

How many years experience do you have?

We have 3 years of experience working with websites.

 

There are sites that allow us to create free pages, why use BlushSites?

The free site providers that you see online and on TV are very limited. You (the customer) have to add content and information. The designs are very simple and do not appear in the search engines. They do not offer support, and other companies have the liberty of advertising on the page that you created. If you are not familiar with code and graphic design, a page done the wrong way can damage your professional image.

 

Does the website come with a blog?

Absolutely! The blog option is available for you to use. If you are not interested in blogging, we can deactivate that feature and activate it when and if you decide to start blogging.

 

How long does it take for the website to start appearing in search engines like Google?

A new page can take 1-6 months to start showing in search results. Thousands of new pages are created every day, so it takes time for search engines to index them.

 

What is a domain?

It is the name of your website. For example, our domain is www.blushsites.com.

 

Why don’t you offer a domain with page?

While some web design companies offer to register the domain name for you, it’s best to do it on your own. With this you retain control over your business and brand. If you one day decide to cancel your account with us and use your company domain with another web provider, you can do so without any problems.

 

Do I have to sign a contract?

There is no contract. You can cancel your account at any time.

 

I don’t have the initial fee ready to pay now. Do you offer monthly plans?

We offer different payment options depending on your situation.

 

What is a “Responsive” website?

Do you have an iPhone or iPad? View Blushsites.com with those devices. Notice anything? This is considered a responsive website. It rearranges itself according to the size screen and device that you are using. We only work with responsive sites as these are the most up-to-date technology. It is important to have a site that is mobile device-friendly as more and more people are using their smartphones and tablets to surf the web.

 

Do you use flash?

Nope! Flash was great 5 years ago, but it has a big flaw: it doesn’t work with iPhones and iPads. We only use HTML5 sites. Great for desktops AND mobile devices.

 

What is Search Engine Optimization?

It is the practice of creating and or making websites Google-friendly. We optimize all of the sites that we design.

 

Can you guarantee that my website will be on the first page on Google?

We promise to do everything in my power to make sure that your site is up to Google’s standards, but we can not promise a certain ranking on search results. In fact, nobody can. And if you talk to a company that does promise you that, it should raise a BIG red flag. There are companies out there that only work on optimizing websites. Be careful!

 

I currently have a WordPress site that needs updating, can you help?

Absolutely! Even if it is not a WordPress site, we can take a look at your current site to see if its something that we can work with and help you makes changes and update it. Contact us for a consultation

 

Why should I hire you over other web designers?

You will never be alone. I am just an email and/or phone call away. You will deal with only one person rather than speaking to a call center overseas with thousands of tech support people.
Design. I use WordPress, the most widely-used content management system by designers. Just check out this list of high profile companies and people that also use WordPress for their sites: MSNBC, CNN, BBC America, Katie Couric, Rolling Stones, ebay, Urban Decay and Snoopdog.
