Why do I have to pay extra for a domain name and hosting?
Registering a domain name costs $70 for two years and can be renewed after that for $35 a year. Hosting your website is also separate, starting at 9.99/month, if paid yearly. Some of our recommended web hosting companies offer specials for hosting that include domain registration. We can help you pick the one that is right for your budget.

What if I want to update my website?
Your Business Webpage can be changed at anytime. Just email or call us with the changes, and we will do them for you. Ask about our maintenance service if you have a business that changes often (daily, weekly, monthly, seasonally).
What do I do if I change something like my hours or phone number?

Your Business Webpage reserves the right to decide what is considered a minor change, and limits the number of total changes made to the website free of charge.
How do I check my email?
Your Business Webpage will have your website email forwarded to your existing email address, or will show you how to check it directly using your preferred email software. Don't want to check it? We can make Your Business Webpage without an email address, or you can add-on our email services option.

What do I do with my website once it is finished?
Your Business Webpage will be glad to show you the ways to get your website out there to the public.
How long is my domain name good for?
Your domain name, or website name, is generally registered for 2 years the first time, then available to be renewed for 1 year or 2 year increments. This fee is not included in your website design, but some web hosting companies do offer discounted fees if you choose them to host your website.
What exactly is web hosting?
Web Hosting is a service you must pay separately for. They hold your files in a place where the rest of the world can access them when they visit your website. Web hosting can be as inexpensive as $9.99 a month. Your Business Webpage will help you choose the right web host.
How do I know if anyone is visiting my website?
Your Business Webpage can put a counter on your homepage, for a general count you can check yourself, or, as part of our maintenance package, we can send you monthly reports that will tell you details like who is visiting your website, and where they are coming from. You can also choose options like a printable coupon or mailing list to get an idea of how many people visiting your website are actually using your services or products.
Do I have to advertise the website? Won't people just find it?
Your Business Webpage strongly suggests that you advertise your website and register it with the top search engines. Having a website without advertising it is like having a phone number and not giving it out. No one will call unless they know you are out there. Ask Your Business Webpage designer about advertising options for Your Business Webpage .
How can my website pay for itself?
Your Business Webpage can pay for itself with as little as one new customer, depending on your business. If your average customer spends $300-$500 a year, it will only take one new customer to pay for your website expenses. And if that customer recommends you to at least one other customer...the potential is unlimited. With the right advertising campaign, your website has the potential to attract hundreds, maybe thousands of new customers every year.
What are email services? Why would I need them?
Email services are for people who do not have a computer or internet access at their business, or for people who do not check their email on a regular (daily) basis. We will receive your email and call you with the information the potential customer has sent. You can choose either a per email option, or a monthly unlimited option if you have a high volume of email.
What is the newsletter about?
Your Business Webpage offers an option to collect email addresses and send them a newsletter as often as your business dictates. This is perfect for businesses that have seasonal events, such as sales, or special products/services.
What is updating? Why is it important?
Updating is highly suggested if you want people to return to Your Business Webpage often. Also, some search engines will list you further down the list if it has not been updated in a long time. We suggest you update your website at least once a year, more often if your products/services change frequently.
What is a search engine?
A search engine is used to find information on the internet. When someone wants to find something of particular interest, they enter a few key words, and the search engine will return webpages that match the text you submit. Your Business Webpage will make sure you have the right words on your website to attract the customers you want.
What is a photo Gallery?
A photo Gallery is an optional page that showcases up to 25 pictures that are relevant to your product/services. If you have a visual product, this is a perfect way to show people what you have and what you do. Ask Your Business Webpage designer if a photo Gallery will help increase your business.
How can I have a map on my website?
Just ask! Your Business Webpage offers an option for an interactive map link so people can get printable maps and directions to your place of business.
Why would I want a mailing list?
A mailing list allows you to contact potential customers who are already open to your product/services and have requested to be informed of new things. This tool can be used to build new and repeat business. Ask Your Business Webpage designer if a mailing list will help increase your business.
What if I want to add a service or an add-on page?
Just contact us. You can always build on to your website as your needs change or add services as you realize your business will require them.
