Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do before I contact you regarding Web Design?

Purchase your domain name and hosting plan.  When you have a website there are yearly fees for your domain name and monthly fees for your hosting plan.  Many times you can purchase both of these with the same company.  As with anything else, try to find a company that offers more for less.  For example, choose a company that offers free e-mail accounts if you already know you want numerous e-mail addresses on your site.  Or, if you know that you are going to want  to add video and/or sound to your site, choose a package that offers a lot of Megabytes/Gigabytes (space for your site to "live") so that you will have room to expand freely.  If you need me to do this step for you there is an extra fee...

What will happen once I contact you regarding Web Design?

When you contact me, please provide your name, company name, contact numbers, e-mail address, & any questions/comments you might have.  Along with a brief description of your website ideas.  Please expect an e-mailed response within 24-72 hours.

What happens once I have all my questions answered and I'm ready to move forward?

You will then receive a 'Victoria Regina Designs Your Web Checklist'.  This checklist must be completed before a contract is drawn up and any work commences.  You will be required to pay a 50% deposit before work commences.  This can be done by including a check or money order with your completed checklist packet (made out to Victoria Regina).  The remaining 50% is due once the site is complete (arrangements can be made, if you wish to split the last payment into two payments before the site is complete).  Publication of the site, and substantial changes, will occur upon receipt of the final installment. 

How long will it take to have my website up?
Once you have given us all of the necessary "paperwork" along with your deposit, a 2-3 week turn around should be expected for the completion of your website.

What happens once my website is set up? Can I change and/or add information?
YES!  Once your completed website has been published, any future edits and additions will be billed at $50/hour.  (This cost will be pro-rated for every 1/2 hour.) It is recommended that you compile your edits and changes and send them over once a month.  This way, you can keep your maintenance costs low.

Can I add video and sound to my website?
YES!  But it is your responsibility to send video and sound clips that are formatted for the web and ready to be added to your website.  Use your yellow pages or search the web for companies that can help you with this area.

Do you offer discounts?
Yes!  I offer discounts and trades.  Please contact me regarding your situation to see if we can work something out.

How do you keep your prices so low?
By having YOU do some of the leg work, I am able to charge only for the physical labor of designing and formatting the website, the maintenance and upkeep, and any special features which include, but is not limited to, the Shopping Cart Feature.

I already have a website I just need someone to maintain it...
Depending on the size of the site and the amount of maintenance needed on a hourly, daily, weekly, monthly basis we can work out an arrangement that fits your budget...
