Why does my website not show up on the search engines? I created it weeks ago.
First of all, there are several search engines, all with different types of ways to accept your website. Some need to be submitted to by hand, some you have to pay for, and others take time to spider through your website to find the information. You created it weeks ago and still no response? Several search engines will take months and years to comb through your website even after you've submitted it. There are some that will take a week or less, but with payment. You can get traffic directly with a Pay-per-click account, though managing it yourself can become taxing. more about search engines...

How much will it cost me to build a web site?
There are many factors in cost related to your website. Depending on your needs, a website can cost as little as $500 to $10,000. A basic custom-designed brochure-style small website from SharpNET Solutions can generally run you anywhere between $500 - $850. Because of our staff's ability to design and create custom graphics quickly and onsite, you will not end up with a cookie-cutter template website. No two business are the same, why should two websites be?

Programming and custom graphics, Flash, downloads, etc. can add to the cost of your website as well as additional pages. Although we offer custom programming and design solutions, we also have other options that may work for your company. At SharpNET Solutions, we listen to your needs and find an appropriate solution for your requirements, future and budget.

You also must consider costs of hosting, domain registration, security certificates, merchant accounts and more when dealing with high-end e-commerce or intensive dynamic database solutions. SharpNET can provide you with a bid on a solution we feel will be best suited to your needs. contact us for more info...

Why shouldn't I just hire a designer and come back to you for marketing?
First of all, you can. We have several clients that have done just that. However, something that SharpNET offers that other design firms do not, is the ability to create a website that is both functional and marketable. Being a marketing firm at the core, any designs that SharpNET provides to you will be created with marketing in mind.

SharpNET also firmly believes that form follows function. The look of your website is important, but comes second to functionality, useability and user-friendliness. If your website is hard to follow, looking good really doesn't matter. A website should always work as good as it looks.

How long will it take for my website to be done?
Depending on the type of design project you require, a website can take anywhere from a week to a month to design. For basic brochure websites (static HTML, limited graphics), we can design and complete your website within a week - provided that we have all the content organized properly within the site map. Database and e-commerce shopping cart websites will take anywhere from weeks to a month to complete. This is because testing and development take time.

The largest hang-ups with progression of web development at SharpNET Solutions are the client-side decision making processes, receiving up-front payment and receiving the web site content. If you are in a rush to have your website done, we need will need: your signed contract, payment, all the content, images, logos, etc. up front. More accurate time estimates can be made once the scope of work has been completed.

Does my company really need a web site or marketing?
Website
A website is an excellent tool to your business just as a Yellow Pages ad is. The bottom line is that your clients are online. If you are online as well, you immediately offer more to your client as a service. A website serves as an ad to your business, but it offers so much more than just a print ad. So is a website an essential need? You decide. Do your competitors have a website? Maybe you should too.

Marketing
Many clients come to us with a desire to market, but the inability to figure out what is best. Should I market my site? Absolutely. The questions isn't "should I" but "how can I get the most for my marketing dollars?". If you are a tire shop in Georgetown and you can only service Georgetown, it wouldn't be wise to spend your money on a high-budget international internet marketing campaign. For you, it would be best to print your website on your business card, or your truck, or advertise locally. However, if you are an e-commerce web-based business that sells gadgets anywhere in the world, why advertise in the local newspaper when the entire world is your clientele? Marketing is more than just money, it is a science or an art that we can help you solve. more info...
