Can I choose you to design my site and use my own web hosting?
Yes, you can use any web host you like. We prefer you host with us as we are familiar with our own control panel. Once you have purchased your hosting you will have to provide us with your web hosting ftp login username and password so that we can upload your website for you.

What is website maintenance?
Website maintenance is a fee paid monthly to keep your site updated with new content that you provide. Most good web sites have new content updated regularly. Fresh content will give you higher search engine rankings and will keep your visitors coming back. This is an optional service that we provide for our customers. If you want to maintain your website yourself you can do so.

Why can't I find my web site in the search engines?
Once your site has been submitted to the top Search Engines they may require several weeks, or even months to actually spider and list your web site in their directory. How fast your site is listed depends on each individual Search Engines database update schedule. We suggest you use 562 Graphix Traffic Blazer. Your site can be listed on AOL, MSN, Yahoo in a couple of days. Click here to read more.

Web Site Content - What Do I Put On My Site?
That would depend on the goals of your web site. If you run a business website you would include as much information about your products or services that your customers would need to purchase from you.
