What are your qualifications?
In
1989 I started my programming and web design career working
for computer manufacturing companies Cray Research, Silicon
Graphics, and Celestica. I have over 24 years experience
upgrading, networking, and troubleshooting home computers.
2.
Why should I have you do my web site?
Budget
Homepage is all about saving you money. Since this is
a home based business, we don't have large monthly office
expenses to worry about. Work is completed on-time, to
meet your specifications, using Macromedia and Adobe software.
3.
Do you also make personal web sites?
Yes,
if your content does not contain obscene or offensive
material. Personal web sites do not usually require a
designated URL and can be created and hosted for free
on Yahoo, Tripod, or one of the other free hosting sites.
We are focusing on small business owners who need someone
to manage their site. But if you feel that you have something
that we can help you with please let us know.
4.
What if I want to maintain the site?
Most
of our customers don't have the time or experience required
to maintain a web site. So we provide that service. If
you feel comfortable doing the maintenance yourself, we
can give you access to your site. The charge will be same
and we will provide phone support. If you need specific
modifications on the site after you take control, we will
quote the work at our hourly rate.
5.
How much do you make from the ads?
It
depends on the amount of traffic your site generates.
Typically only about one percent of the visitors will
click on the ads. It is a good way to add content to your
site and it helps us lower your annual fee.

How long does it take before my web site is online?

and two weeks for us to complete your web site. Sites
that require custom cgi programming will take longer.

What happens if I need something changed on my site?
