There are basically three parts to any website. People are often most familiar with the domain name. This is the URL (www.inkdesign.ca - for example) that people use to find your website on the Internet. The second part of owning a website is renting storage on a server (basically, a customized computer that is always attached to the Internet) for your website's files. This is called hosting. We are more than happy to set this up for you, if required. The last part to your website is the design. This is the most exciting part of the entire process, and initially, is also the most expensive. Your website will be designed with clever foresight, lending to its longevity.

We are a firm supporter of W3C standards and well formed HTML. When your website is being built, careful attention is given to content (text, images and pictures) to be placed within your website's pages to make sure the layout is not only appealing to view, but also functions in the 5 major browsers: Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari and Opera. Proper, valid code helps with indexing of your site because you will have no coding errors that would disrupt indexing. We use proper heading tags, CSS, and a user-friendly navigation so people can easily navigate to all of your website pages. When clients are eager for search engine optimization (seo) work I always recommend to consult with a company who specializes in this service. Ask for details.
Project start dates are classified by 2 different types: "Express" or "Normal". Express means the client has all the material ready in advance (images, text, logo) to help expedite the process, Normal means the client is ready to move forward with a webdesign project, but still needs to organize all their information. We usually complete most web sites in 4 weeks (some times a little less, sometimes a little more.) The length of time spent building your website will depend on the design + development complexity, number of revisions, size of website and most often the organization of the client. Remember - clients that have all their material for the project start date have their websites built much faster.
Maybe. It completely depends on my current schedule + workload. It is important to me to properly gauge my schedule so I can successfully reach project deadlines, and waiting lists for a month or two are not uncommon, depending on how many projects are in the works. I will consider a rush project only if the client is prepared at the start date with all items needed to complete the project quickly. Rush work is applicable to additional charges.
Your new website should function the way it's supposed to. We warranty all work and programmed code for a period of 1 month after the time of final website launch. If something is wrong, we'll fix it for free!
