How will people find my web site?
We will list your site on the major search engines and encourage you to put your world wide web address on everything you can... i.e.: advertisements, business cards, letterhead, checks, fax cover sheets, etc. There are also many banner exchange programs you can get involved in, depending on the type of business you have.

Most of the search engines take 2 to 4 weeks to list your site. With a small amount of print, radio or TV advertising it can begin immediately!
How can I keep track of the traffic at my web site?
If you use our host server of choice you will have access to statistics that will tell you how many visitors you have had, what time they visited, what part of the world they are from, how long they spent, which of your pages they viewed, etc. This is a service that is essential to promote and build a successful web site.
How long will it take to have my web site created?
What usually takes the longest is gathering the necessary information. Once we have the material we need it goes quickly. Most sites are up within two to four weeks.
