Frequently Asked Questions
How to contact?
Simply complete the online order form. This will give us a
general sense of what kind of site you will need. If you are
not sure about what you need, just send us an email. We will
then contact you about any details. Then, we will ask you to
send us any material that you have (such as business cards,
letterhead, logos, photos, etc.) so that we will be able to
determine the best look for your web site. We prefer to receive
text in computer-ready format, either as a Word document or
an email message. That will save us some time in incorporating
it into your web site. If you have any pre-designed web pages
or graphics to send us, they can usually be emailed as attachments.
Lastly, we will notify you when the first draft of your web
site is ready. You will have an opportunity to view the site
and provide us with feedback. That way, you can rest assured
that your site will be just the way you want it before it goes
live.
What is e-commerce?
E-commerce usually refers to the process of selling products
or services online. Typically, this involves a shopping cart
system and credit card processing capability. Credit card processing
can be obtained by opening a merchant account with a merchant
service provider.
Banners
We also make banners - rectangular graphics that are used
to advertise products or services on other web pages. Banners
are displayed by popular high-traffic web sites like search
engines. A link to the web site associated with the banner is
accessed by clicking on the graphic with the mouse pointer.
We design banners for high visibility and interest, and can
even animate them to make them even more noticeable.
Why to have a Web Site?
The Internet serves as a powerful tool to attract customers,
maintain their business, and strengthen the closing process.
Your web site can showcase your best products and services,
allowing your clients to view all your products and services
from their own personal computers. Your customers no longer
have to rush to get to your offices before you close, they can
visit you online 24 hours a day 7 days a week to easily obtain
the information they need.
Using the Internet is THE new and exciting way to generate
sales of products and services. Because the customer can make
a purchase from the convenience of the office or home, in an
informative and entertaining way, Internet sales activity is
only going to increase in popularity and importance. Take advantage
of it now before your competition gets too much of an advantage.
If you're wondering if your competition is already on the
Internet, just try doing a few key word searches at some of
the popular search engines, like Yahoo! or Alta Vista. We think
you will be amazed at the number of your competitors that already
have a web presence. Don't let them get the edge on you!
Providing information to prospective and existing customers
can be time-consuming and costly when performed by traditional
marketing and communication methods. With an Internet web site,
however, keeping your customers informed can be quick, easy
and cost-effective. Updates or additional pages of information
(as well as other features, like fill-in forms) can be incorporated
into your site at any time.
Having an Internet web site not only provides information
to your customers, it let's them know that you are keeping current
with today's technology and business trends. It also means that
you are taking measures to service your customers as best you
can. Putting your new Internet web site address on business
cards, letterhead, signs, announcements, advertisements, etc.,
will communicate to the world that you are progressive and service-minded.
It can only serve to enhance your business image.
The Internet never closes. People are using the Internet at
all times of the day to look up information, rates, directions,
products and services, and everything else imaginable. If you
have customers in other parts of the country or the world, or
just down the street, having your own Internet web site can
provide an easy and hassle-free way of staying in touch. Consider
too that, when you're busy, or out of the office, or on vacation,
or even sleeping, the OPEN sign can still be in
the window.
Search Engines
A search engine is a program, built into a web site, that
provides a way for users to locate other web sites. This is
usually accomplished by typing keywords into a text box and
then clicking on a Search button.
Keyword Coding
EasyStart will help the search engines find your business
by coding keywords into your web site--for FREE! All you need
to do is fill out the Form and, where indicated, type in 20
words that people would think to use to find your business.
Internet and business relationship
The Internet has revolutionized the way everyone does business.
In today's business world, this means that having a web site
is no longer an option or luxury. It has become the way business
is conducted in today's Cyber age. You can effectively use the
Internet as a marketing tool to maintain and strengthen current
client relationships as well as pool referral sources for prospective
clients. In all business scenarios the Internet is the easiest
and most efficient way to reach your clients.
Domain name
In order to have a web site on the Internet, you need to
register a domain name. A web sites domain name is merely
the address of operation, such as www.webmagicians.nl. If you
don't have a domain name, we can handle the domain name registration
for you.
