What makes you
different from other web design companies?
WE LOVE TEXAS Web Solutions is literally “Pioneering the Web for Small
Businesses™” because we are an all-in-one website service provider.
What does that mean for you? Well, most web designers bill separately for website
design (average $850 to $5,000 including down payments), for maintenance (charged
by the hour), and for search engine registration (often charged quarterly).
After paying for all the above fees, you still have to shell out monthly for
hosting ($20 - $45 per month). At WE LOVE TEXAS Web Solutions you get all those
services for an inexpensive monthly fee with no setup fees or down payments.
But we’re different than template-based web design companies, because
they give you a cookie cutter site and require you to do your own website management.
We create your custom website design, and we handle all aspects of your website...leaving
time for you to run your business.
How long does
it take to get my website up and running?
Our goal is to have your website working 4 weeks from the date we receive your
contract. Of course, we depend on you to get us the content, design ideas, and photos that
will be on your site, so it is important that you get your information to us
quickly (within 10 days of returning your contract). If you can’t get
us your content right away, don’t worry... we will get your temporary
website up and running with a webpage containing your business’ contact
information. We need all of your content so that we can develop the site completely
and to your satisfaction at the four week point.
How do I give
you the information you will need in order to design my website?
Once you sign a contract with us, we e-mail, fax, or mail (depending on your
preference) a booklet that asks the most pertinent questions we need answers
to in order to develop your site. This booklet also has helpful tips for photography
and other considerations that are important to your website. Once the booklet
is complete, you may either e-mail, fax, or mail it back to us. All text and
photos (JPG/JPEG format) need to be sent to us on disk or via e-mail. Note:
If you don’t have a digital camera, you can easily get a photo CD made
from a standard roll of film at most photo labs.
How would we work
together on the website, seeing as we are in different cities?
Our clients are located throughout Texas, and we pride ourselves on developing
strong on-line relationships with each of them, no matter where they live.
We work with all our clients via phone and e-mail. Generally, you give us your
ideas, or else we come up with an idea based on the colors and layout you select.
We get an in-depth feel for your personality and business needs. Then, we mock
up a layout and e-mail it to you for approval.
 Can
I have a shopping cart if I want one?
Absolutely. The True Texan and Big Tex Packages come with a shopping cart built
in. With the True Texan Package you get to list 100 products, and with the
Big Tex Package you get to list 500 products. Each product can have a total
of four pictures associated with it. There is no additional charge for this.
The Wrangler Package is an informational site used to promote your business
and does not include a shopping cart. The Wrangler is most effective for businesses
who need a professional web presence, but who do not have products to sell
directly over the web.
What kind of website
maintenance can I expect?
At your request, we will make up to 50 updates per month to your website with
the True Texan and Big Tex Packages. The Wrangler Package comes with 25 website
updates per month. These updates do not incur any additional charges and can
be used to update your products and information on the site (but not to change
the overall design). You also have access to update your website yourself if
you choose to do so.
How many webpages
and e-mail addresses will my site have?
With the True Texan and Big Tex Packages, you get unlimited webpages. With
the Wrangler Package you receive 10 pages, with the option of purchasing more
as needed. All packages include unlimited e-mail addresses.
How will I be
billed for your services?
You will be billed when your website is completed or 90 days after you sign your contract, which ever comes first. We charge your credit card or draft your checking account
on either the 5th, 15th, or the 25th day of each month, according to which
day falls closest to the date of your first bill. You can also pay by check for the entire year, which
includes a discount.
Do you take design
suggestions from other sites that I might like?
Yes. That is a great way to help us get started on the right track. In fact,
many creative sources can serve as inspiration for your website. Since we design
your site from scratch with custom graphics, it is important to capture the
look and feel that best represents you and your business. While we will not
duplicate someone else’s work, guiding us in terms of color and “mood” helps
us to achieve the site you need and want.
What do I get
with my membership to WE LOVE TEXAS?
There are many benefits to being a member of welovetexas.com. They include
having your site developed, hosted, and maintained by WE LOVE TEXAS Web Solutions,
having your products available to the many visitors of welovetexas.com, having
access to the WE LOVE TEXAS opt-in e-mail list, having access to WE LOVE TEXAS
advertising, and having the ability to market to people interested in Texas… just
to name a few.
Do you use templates or pre-made sites to build my website?
No! All of our websites are custom built for each client. That means a real, live human being creates your web design based upon the
the information you provide. (Nor do we outsource any of our graphic work
overseas or out of state for that matter.) You'll receive a sample mockup to view and make changes to. After you approve your mockup your website is built.
