RXR Web Design - F.A.Q. Page
(Frequently Asked Questions)
Our FAQ is divided into three sections.
Section 1 - "Why should I (and my company) choose the Internet?" |
Section One:"Why should I (and my company) choose the Internet?" How interactive is the Internet?Unlike an ad in the local phone book which gives only your business address and phone number, the Internet allows people to interact directly with you and your company. For example - you may dedicate part of your page to giving directions to your store from anywhere in the local area or even anywhere in the world. You could list specific items that you sell so customers know what you have. As a matter of fact, they don't even need to come inside your store anymore - they can buy products directly from your website! Here is another example for a business in the service industry. A person connects to the Internet from home, goes to an online search engine (such as Yahoo), types in "Centre County, PA and Restaurants" and immediately receives a list of eateries - complete with menus, prices, directions, hours of operation, etc. Pick a topic of interest and try your own interactive product search sometime - I promise the results will amaze! Some other possibilities are: You can provide an online tour of your company and products, show your company's history, play interactive trivia or games for prizes, or initiate special online promotions to spice up your website. The Internet provides an opportunity to always put your best face forward and interact with people in ways not possible just a few years ago. Remember, there are now 75+ million people online, and they are all potential customers, 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week. What are the two basic types of webpages?There are two basic types of webpages - business and personal. The difference is simple - business sites sell a product while promoting a company's images and values, while personal sites promote ideas but do not sell anything. These websites vary from one page advertisements to an intricate web of thousands of pages. What is the #1 reason to be on the Internet?Customer Convenience! The Internet is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Although your company may only be open during regular day and evening business hours, the Internet never closes, allowing your company and products to be viewable by anyone at any time. Do people really use the Internet?DEFINITELY YES! Over 75 million people are now connected to the Internet with 760 new households online EVERY HOUR! People are using this fantastic technology to look for many things: entertainment, news, restaurants, gift ideas, and possibly you and your company. Because the Internet is accessible from the comfort of home, more and more people are using the Internet to shop for and purchase the products they need. How does advertising on the Internet compare to other forms of advertising?There is no question that television, radio, and newspaper advertising works. But ads in these media are very expensive and have strict size and length restrictions. In stark contrast, the Internet is an advertiser's dream. The Internet is inherently designed to provide as much room and as much time as you need to promote your company and the values it stand for. For a very reasonable cost, it allows your company to supply vast amounts of information to current and potential customers. In addition, your company has the capability to sell products directly to customers while they are reading your ad online. Try that with a television or newspaper ad! The Internet has quickly become one of the best (and most cost-efficient) way to increase the visibility of any company - whether big or small. Quite simply - For about the price of one newspaper ad per month, your company can have a significant presence on the Internet. This trend toward Internet advertising is evident today as many television and newspaper ads refer potential customers to a company's website. In short, the Internet has revolutionized the way most companies advertise and conduct business. Does RXR Web Design create personal webpages too? If so, what are the benefits?A personal webpage is put up to further the sharing of knowledge and/or information. There are millions of people on the Internet right now who have personal webpages. They tend to gather into collections of similar pages, kind of like a network of neighborhoods. Neighborhoods where people share what they know with one another. You will be surprised to find how many advantages there are in having a personal webpage. Some of these are:

Section Two:"Why should I choose RXR Web Design?" RXR Web Design. Who am I? What do I do?I am Rob Radzanowski, and I run RXR Web Design from my home as a freelance website designer and webmaster. I do have a full-time job, so right now I run RXR Web Design during my free time. But I devote as much as 40 hours a week to RXR Web Design when necessary. (In case you are wondering, preliminary plans are in the works to expand and, if necessary, add a few more programmers.) What RXR Web Design does is work one-on-one with our customers and create custom websites, graphics, and advertising banners for business and personal use. RXR Web Design does not maintain its own web server, but I can quickly set up an account with a company who does, and assist you in domain name registration and setup - all things you will need. Don't worry, it is just a few easy forms and steps. I will walk you through the entire process. By working from home and focusing solely on website design instead of maintaining expensive hardware and web servers, RXR Web Design can keep operating costs minimal and offer website solutions at a significantly lower cost than the big design companies. What kind of personal attention does RXR Web Design provide?RXR Web Design's goal is to provide customized services and products on an individual basis. I believe strongly that once you tell me what services you desire, only then can I custom-build an effective solution to meet your needs. On the web, one size doesn’t fit all. It is my goal to build you a creative, cost-effective solution that will set your company apart from the rest of the pack, every time. As I strive to provide you with a high-quality product, I also strive to get it to you as quickly as possible. Let me be honest, it may take RXR Web Design a little longer than the big internet design companies to create your site. But you should keep in mind that RXR Web Design will never compromise quality for the sake of speed. My promise to you is this: RXR Web Design will complete all projects in a timely manner AND at a lower cost than the large companies. So, depending on your budget, a few extra days of personal service from my company could save you a lot of money on your website. Here is one more advantage of having RXR Web Design on your side. Being a published photographer, I would be happy to visit your business and personally take the pictures necessary for your webpage. It is yet another way RXR Web Design can offer a level of personal attention that the bigger companies cannot match. What does RXR Web Design specialize in?RXR Web Designs specializes in creating custom-built websites for small and medium size businesses as well as personal websites (including families, job hunters, churches, and non-profit organizations). If you need a website built from scratch, or if your current site needs a facelift or a total overhaul, RXR Web Design can help! I want to give you an attractive product that you will be happy with and your customers will visit again and again. From eye-catching graphics and flowing content to easy-to-read layouts and consistent navigation, RXR Web Design can build a solution for you that best portrays your company (and personal) image and values. What other internet related services does RXR Web Design offer?If you hire RXR Web Design to create your website but do not want to be bothered with weekly maintenance and routine updates, you can also choose to have RXR Web Design manage your website. I will periodically update your site to reflect the changing needs of your business and to give visitors a fresh look from time-to-time. I can create company logo graphics as well as theme and animated graphics for your site. RXR Web Design can also help publicize your presence on the Internet. If you have plans to advertise on the Internet, I can design advertising banners specifically for you and your company. When you place an ad on someone else's website, the banner will link directly back to your website. Another way RXR Web Design can promote your site and increase its "find-ability" is by submitting it to hundreds of search engines like Yahoo and Lycos. Has RXR Web Design won any awards for website design?Yes, RXR Web Design's quality is award winning. Please feel free to view the expanding list of awards and accolades our "Family of Websites" has already won (now totalling over 100). |

Section Three:"How much will this cost?"
What programming options does RXR Web Design offer?There are a variety of options available in any price range. But I will optimize RXR Web Design's resources to ensure your completed website is what you desire. You only pay for what you want and need. Original eye-catching graphics - no problem. Animation - done. Navigation bar - simple. Sound - voilã! RXR Web Design offers a wide range of the HTML programming options, including:
Can you tell me about RXR Web Design's rates?Like all other web designers, my rates vary depending on exactly what you need. For example - the more pages or original graphics you want, the higher the total cost will be. But, by teaming up with RXR Web Design instead of going to one of the big web design companies, your final cost will be less. You can get a FREE price quote right now by filling out our simple form. The other web design companies have to charge more to maintain their expensive web servers and related hardware. RXR Web Design concentrates solely on designing webpages, keeping our overhead costs minimal. RXR Web Design also uses a different rate structure than other web design companies. The others charge you by the hour (and often upwards of $50 per hour), while I charge based on the number of individual webpages and features you want. This again allows RXR Web Design to charge less than our competition. Can I get an estimate for an average package?Sure, but keep in mind that an exact total will depend on your needs. At RXR Web Design, we understand that each company (and person) has its own unique spending budget. But our promise to you is this:
We will always do our best to work with you and provide the services you need at a price that fits within that budget.Now let's talk numbers. Basically, a standard website with five pages including several graphics on each page will cost around $25-$40 a page. The main page will cost around $100 because it requires the most setup and is the first impression people will see. So, RXR Web Design adds a few extra touches. So, an estimated cost to you of a five page website like the one I described would be around $200-$300. And that includes a choice from thousands of graphics which are ready to use. I can scan in photos you provide if you desire, or I will even visit your place of business and take the pictures myself (if you are reasonably closeby). Again, your total cost will be determined by exactly what you want in a website. So, the answer to "How much will this cost?" is: It costs exactly what you can afford it to cost. Can I get a free price quote with no obligation?Of course you can. With a wide range of programming options available, RXR Web Design can create the ideal online plan for you. To get your FREE price quote, simply fill out our simple form. You may also contact us to ask any questions not covered in our F.A.Q. RXR Web Design will happily respond with your free price quote and answers any questions within two business days.
