Our business
hours are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
How long will it take to see my site listed on the search engines?
After launching, it will take 40 to 50 days for the major search engines (ex: Google, Yahoo, Hotbot) to acquire and display your site.
What is Blue Fox Creative's payment schedule?
We ask for
one third of the agreed upon amount at the day of signing. The
second third is due at the beginning of mid-project and the balance
is due on Launch Day. This payment schedule applies to projects
created from our online estimate pages only.
Other projects and maintenance contracts are invoiced on a monthly basis.
Is it necessary to have a local company design my website?
No. The telephone
and internet will satisfy most communication requirements; however
if needed, we’ll be happy to attend personal meetings, too.
What's the difference between static and dynamic pages?
A Static Page
is created by a Website Designer and is posted to the server so it
can be called-up by a user. It resides on the server at all times.
An example of a static page is the front page of a typical web site.
A dynamic page is built on-the-fly by a program residing on the
server. The page is instantly built when it’s called-up by
the user. An example of a dynamic page is an invoice that appears
after a user places an order on an online
shopping cart.
What's an example of a low cost site?
One example is an online brochure comprised of five pages with simple graphics. There is no dynamic content with the exception of a simple
“Thank You” page that is returned to the user when he/she
hits the send key at the bottom of a “Contact Us” form.
There is no use of Flash or animated gifs. The page loads fast, has
a professional look, and satisfies the client because its purpose
is to inform people about the company.
What's an example
of a high cost site?
One example is a site with 40 pages and a front page containing a Flash graphic that
changes every time the user revisits the page. The site has an online
shopping cart along with a page that allows the customer to post opinions
and questions about the products. There’s an online support
function that lets the customers chat with the support department
in real time. One page allows the client to maintain sections of the
website on his/her own. There are five submission forms. One form contains
a survey asking questions about the best selling product. The data
from this form is saved so the information can be viewed in an Excel
spread sheet at a later time.
What is a Webmaster?
His/her job
is to maintain and update a website after it has been launched.
A Webmaster's job may also include web design.
What is a Web Designer?
A Website Designer
is a technical artist who creates websites and in the process, decides
how the website will look and how the site’s information will be organized on the browser (ex: Netscape).
What is a
Website Developer?
A Website Developer
is a programmer who creates and installs programs that run on web
servers (ex: Linux/Apache) but not on the surfer’s browser (ex:
Netscape). The Developer creates scripts and databases that instruct
the server to automatically create web pages. The end result of his
/ her work is a website containing “dynamically generated”
web pages.
