How long does it take to build a website?

The process can take anything from a few days up to a few months, if it's a simple website with only content and images, the website can be finished in a few days providing the customer has supplied the web designer with all necessary content and website details.

If the website requires a shopping cart, chat room, forum or any other features and functions the website should only take up to a week again providing the customer supplies the web designer with all necessary website content and information.

How do i get my website onto Google?

The process of getting your website submitted and indexed onto Google is not necessarily as easy as it sounds, if your company is based on a unique product or service it can be easier to get onto Google because there's not as many competitors. If your company is based on a much more everyday product or service such as plumbing, computers, DVD's or accountants for example, there's more competition and we have to work harder to get your website out there and noticeable.

How do I prepare for a website?

There are a number of things you will need to bring together before approaching a web designer. A website is made up of numerous pages, all of which at preference to you, the basic pages known in most website are the home page, about us page and contact us page. If you are unsure of what pages you will need you can always ask.

Also you should think over a domain name to have, keep in mind the domain name you want may not always be available. Its always good to look them up to see if they are taken. If you want a '.com.au' will need to provide the web designer with an ABN number.

Another thing to think about is if you want any special features or functions such as a shopping cart, forum or any flash animations, provide the web designer with any details and how you would like it to look.

If you would like emails with your website, you will need to supply the web designer with which email you would like (info@domain.com.au or admin@domain.com.au etc) and password associated with the emails. Also keep in mind you can have emails redirected to another email account saving you having multiple email accounts.
