The Gray Walls FAQS list
How much does a web site cost?
There are quite a few factors that are going to affect the ultimate cost of
your web site. These factors include how many pages you are going to have,
if you will sell products on your website, the graphic work involved, and how
interactive your future web site will be. You will also need web hosting and
domain name registration.
Do I need to hire a "local" web site designer?
We create web sites for clients who are a local in Chicago as well as out of
state. By using the Internet and email it is possible to communicate effectively
with clients in any location.
How long does it take to have a web site designed
The time frame is determined by the size of your web site, the complexity of
your site design, and our current client design schedule.
What is a URL?
It stands for "universal resource locator". This is the address typed in to
view your web page on the Internet. For example, you would type in
http://www.graywallsgraphics.com to
access our home page.
What is a domain name?
A domain name is a specific web site address that you choose and register with
Network Solutions (the official registrar of domain names ending in .com, .edu,
and .gov). Our domain name is "digitalev2000.com".

Can I choose you to design my site and use my own web hosting?
Yes.
What is web hosting?
Web hosting is a monthly fee that you pay to have your site accessible on the
Internet. We can provide web hosting for our clients.
What is site maintenance?
Maintenance is a fee paid monthly to keep your site updated with new content
that you provide. Most good web sites have new content updated regularly. Fresh
content is what will keep your visitors coming back. Do you offer any type
of discounts? Yes, we offer discounts for schools and non profit organizations.
Why can't I find my web site in the search engines?
Once your site has been submitted to the top Search Engines they may require
several weeks, or even months to actually spider and list your web site in
their directory. How fast your site is listed depends on each individual Search
Engines database update schedule. Watch your server traffic logs for visiting
spiders. We suggest you use Guaranteed Search Engine Submit. Your site can
be listed on AOL, MSN, Overture in a couple of days.
