1.
Why do I need a website?
You have probably heard or seen at least one advertisement today in
regular media that has mentioned or displayed a website. Websites are
the latest, hottest advertising and marketing tool used today. This new
medium is less expensive than traditional advertising, allows for
increased flexibility, and reaches the entire world. Now, companies
cannot only take hold of the international trade boundaries, but can
also offer a new, exciting way for potential customers to interface with
their company.

What are the different types of websites?
1. Business Website: The primary function of a business
website is to clearly display information about your company, its
services and products and how visitors can contact you. Generally,
business websites can perform important market research for your
business, increases your image, increases inquiries and increases the
level of customer service that you offer.
2. Storefront
Website: These websites are commonly known as E-Commerce or Merchant
Stores which focus on selling services and products online. This type of
website may sell products generated by your company, however, they can
also function as auction houses that sell wares produced by others.
3. Educational
Websites: Educational websites are dedicated to a particular
interest and provides information in various forms to its readers.
Your website
is an investment. What you plan to get out of it will dictate how much
money, time and energy you devote to its success. KatzEye Designs

on your website investment by offering the best solutions for your
business.

What Can I Do With My Website?
The sky is the limit when it comes to what you can do with your
website. You can sell your services and products on-line, offer
memberships, post your newsletters and press releases, display
photographs of your company, advertise current events and upcoming sales
and promotions. The list is endless and nothing is impossible.

4.
Should I Hire a Professional Website Designer?
The answer is yes or no. There are a lot of free website building
locations on the internet, as well as packages of software that you may
either download or purchase. This is a great idea for those who have a
personal website and for those who are not invested in the results that
their website attains them and for those who have the time to learn how
to get their website to work for them.
For those of
you who want a completely functional and professional Internet Presence
then yes, a professional Web Designer would benefit both your business
and your audience fully. Websites can be very complicated and require
various elements of programming that most "do-it-yourself"
programs are unable to fulfill.

5.
Is It Expensive to Hire a Professional?
Most professional Web Designers charge by the hour and tend to
charge thousands of dollars. At KatzEye Designs, our sites range from
$500 - $2000 and go up from there depending upon the complexity of the
site. The advantage to hiring KatzEye Designs to build your site is that
not only do we put together the best possible package for your business'
website, but we also go beyond and will take care of all of your
advertising needs. From business cards through to portfolio's, you no

marketing needs met.

6.
Can I Sell Products and Services On-Line?
Absolutely. Selling products and services on-line is now the best
way to do business. If you look around, it is likely that a high
percentage of your competitors already have a website and are actively
selling to their clients on the internet. It is important to consider,
however, that your business will be required to re-evaluate its existing
prices, taxes and modes of delivery to take into account the different
costs involved in e-commerce.

7.
Can I Accept Credit Cards and Cheques On-Line?
Yes. There are numerous ways to accept credit cards on-line.
Merchant accounts and escrow services are just a couple of the ways to
make this possible.
|
|
|
8.
What's a Merchant Account?
A merchant account is an account that you establish with a banking
agency that allows you to accept credit card payments for transactions.
You do not necessarily need a merchant account to sell your products
on-line, however, if you are serious about e-commerce, establishing a
merchant account is in your best interest.

9.
How Do I Get My Website on The Internet?
You need a "hosting provider" which is a service that has
a computer which is physically connected to the World Wide Web. It is
very costly to maintain your own server, so most companies rent space on
the hosting providers' computers.

10.
How Do I Get People to Visit My Website?
There are various ways, both free and paid, to advertise your site.
Banner exchange programs, search engine submissions, classified ads and
e-zine advertising are just some of the common methods of generating
traffic to your site. It is important that your website is programmed
and indexed correctly and that the promotion of your website is ongoing.
