Chrystal Clear Images [ Important Web Design Client Information Part 1 ]

Before we go directly into describing the services that we provide for our clients or start talking abour how we can assist you in growing and/or improving your business, we believe that it is important that you know what all you are getting into. This web page is dedicated to people who are new to web design and Chrystal Clear Images would love to address a few issues that YOU, the prospective client, may have.

We want give you a little insight on this phenominon that has become Web Design and answer some of the most common questions that we always seem to get asked. We also will talk about the most common reasons why people don't want to get a website...What to expect before, during and after the web presence has been created...and lastly, how Chrystal Clear Images can become a staple in your business and/or personal website marketing strategy.

For those of you who are already familliar with web design, we still welcome you to read through the following paragraphs so that you can apply the information learned to bettering your online presence, even if it's not created by Chrystal Cear Images.

1: "It might be expensive...": Chrystal Clear Images creates budget wise but professionally designed web sites and e-advertisements for small businesses and individuals. We understand that small businesses can have a rather tight cash flow situation, as we are one ourself. So to accomodate our clients, we make site payments modular, as they get built, so you can build what you can afford and add on to it later, when convenient.

Feel free to contact us directly to discuss your needs.

2: "Is it cost effective?": At Chrystal Clear Images, we understand YOUR reasons for wanting to be on the web. We RECOGNISE YOUR NEED to generate income, and as such, we hope to help you make your web site productive. We're not here to simply sell our services, we are here to help YOU sell YOUR products and/or services. While we can't guarantee that customers will flock to your web site and spend lots of money, right off hand, together we can craft your web site so it's predisposed to assist your business positively, which will, inturn, pay off in the long run.

3: "I think it's just plain unnecessary...": If you need to advertise, display product information widely, be easily contacted 24/7, generate extra income, compete efficiently with competitors, readily answer all of your customers' general questions without having to spend lots of time on the phone, plus enhance your own personal prestige and that of your business, you DO need a web site and having one is anything but unnecessary.

4: "We just don't have the time...": With designing your project YOU really don't have to do much. We thoroughly explain how web sites work and the general outline of what you are likely to want to include on yours. Just jot down or take mental notes about what you want on each page, add in some photos to show to your online clients and let Chrystal Clear Images do the rest.

5: "Maybe I'll do it later...": Procrastination is the ENEMY of productivity but sadly, and all too often, procrastination runs rampant in today's business practices, especially when it comes to getting a website. Please understand that every day that you put off designing your online presence means yet another day that your customers are not only NOT VISITING your company but they are also becoming familiar with your competitors' web sites and purchasing from them!

6: "I'm not technically savvy/I Don't know much about computers...": Well, this might come to you as some surprise, but we don't know all there is to know ourselves, we aren't genuises, that's for sure, but we do know web design. Luckily, you don't need to know much. We do all the tech work and then we show you how to access your web site so that you can keep track of your own website.

7: "I don't understand what all of my options are...": Don't worry, we will describe the details of what's available in non-technical plain english and help you to determine what options are best for you and your business.

8: "I don't know anything about domain names and hosting...": We will secure an appropriate, available domain name and web hosting service, according to your needs and wishes AT VERY REASONABLE PRICES.

9: "I know nothing about FTP uploading...": You get to relax because Chrystal Clear Images does all uploading via our high speed connection. All but extremely large sites can be uploaded within minutes once we've set up the upload parameters which usually takes approx. 10 - 15 minutes.

10: "What about web site maintenance...?": Chrystal Clear Images will maintain your site when you want text and image updates, new pages, forms and more. We also have monthly maintenance packages for your convienience. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
