What's the big
hype about being on the Web? Top
Relative to the conventional methods of advertisement, the Web is an inexpensive
way to advertise your business utilizing easy to use updated information
with eye catching graphics in a wide variety of colors..
What is the difference between
Internet Service Provider (ISP) and Web Hosting Provider (WHP)? Top
An ISP such as America On Line (AOL), or SBC, etc., provides
access to all the features of the Internet, such as browsing the world
wide web (www.) and e-mail. They provide the dial-up or other internet
connections such asDSL, etc. WHP are providers that allow you to
post your web site on the Internet. They also provide the means for search
engines to locate you on the world wide web.
Does Digital Designs DFW provide internet connection and Web hosting? Top
No, we are neither an Internet Service Provider (ISP), nor a Web Hosting
Provider (WHP). In order to keep the cost down for our clients, we only
focus on web site design and give our clients the option of picking any
ISP and WHP. We can however, direct you to a few web hosting providers
(not affiliated with Digital Designs DFW). Keep in mind that the web hosting
provider you choose should have appropriate extensions in order for your
web site hit counters, interactive forms, etc. to work correctly.
What is the difference between
Virtual and Non-Virtual Domain? Top
A virtual domain address will allow you to have a direct domain, as in
www.yourname.com, org, net. A non-virtual domain will look like www.servername.com/yourname.
As you can see, a virtual address is more professional, more direct and
easier to remember. It also allows you the option of having unlimited e-mail
addresses such as sales@www.yourname.com, org, net.
Why can't I just use the free
homepage that most ISPs provide for my Web Site? Top
While you don't really have to choose a Web Hosting Provider (WHP), keep
in mind that there are many limitations to the free homepages provided
by your ISP. Most ISPs only allow 2-3 Mega Bytes of space which is not
much at all. Accessing your web site through homepages is often slow, due
to an ISP's advertisement which is often included on those free sites.
Also, keep in mind that you will not have the option of a virtual domain
(they will only allow non-virtual domains such as www.serversname.com/yourname)
which is hard to remember and does not allow direct e-mail associated with
your domain. Finally, web hosting for your domain is very inexpensive relative
to the conventional methods of advertisements.
Do you provide E-Commerce? Top
Digital Designs DFW does offer E-Commerce solutions which include shopping carts,
or PayPal.
What can I post
on my Web site? Will you design anything I want? Top

web site the way you would like it to look.

24 hours of your request.
Once my business is posted on
the Internet, will I automatically be present in the search
engines? Top
The answer to this question depends on which company you choose as your
Web Hosting Provider (WHS). Often WHSs include the promotion of your web
site as part of their package (usually for an additional cost). It is crucial
to maintain presences on the web by resubmitting your site to the search
engines once every few months. Even if your WHS does not provide the web
site promotions, we can help you choose a provider which does specialize
in web site promotions.
How do I give you some ideas about
what I would like to include on my web site with the
budget I have in mind, and get your feedback? Top
