Why a Website?
A small business website allows you to provide
information about your company, products or
services. It allows your business to be open 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. It gives you global
exposure and immediate feedback from your customers.
Today, not having a website puts you out of touch
with your customers. As more Long Island businesses
venture online, those who do not, are increasingly
at a great disadvantage.
What is your design process?
Our service is close and personal- it is the
only way to guarantee a custom solution tailored to
your specific needs. We work WITH you- every step of
the way! View our client
portfolio!
- Initial Consultation - Here we survey
your needs, discuss costs, and determine the
objective of your website.
- Review Information and Design Layout
- At this stage we gather all material related
to your company. Then, for initial review,
develop a layout that includes the site's home
page, a content page, and site navigation.
- Site Development - During this stage,
you can view your site in-progress. This ensures
your satisfaction and input. After your review,
any final edits will be made.
- Final Approval and Delivery - Upon
completion and approval, the site will be moved
(or setup) to your domain name. Any e-mail
addresses will be established and, if you choose
to host your site with us web site statistics
will be turned on. At this time, the balance of
the payment is due.
I already have a site. Do I need a
complete redesign?
Today, just about every other business has a
website- yet many of these are lackluster and
ineffective. Why? It's because many of these sites
are not only visually unappealing but they outdated,
boring, inactive and static.
The first thing we do when a business is looking
for a redesign, is conduct a complete site audit.
Sometimes you may not need an entirely new site,
just an update here and there. Many times, by adding
some new visuals - clean, crisp graphics - or
updating your sites content and/or layout, you can
really improve your online presence.
Whether you're looking for a simple edit or a
complete redesign, regardless of your needs, we can
help! Click here to request a

estimate today.
I want to set up an e-commerce
store. Can you help?
YES! We have experience in a number of different
types of e-commerce solutions. We have a proven
success record when it comes to the following:
Yahoo!, Amazon, e-BAY stores and Miva merchants. We
also design and develop our own e-commerce solution.
How much does a website cost?
Our web design and consulting services are
competitively priced. Since every project is
different, we do not believe in standard design
packages. The final price of a site depends on a
number of different factors. How many pages will
your site be, do you need custom graphic work, are
you selling products or simply providing
information, how interactive would you like your
site to be...etc. Lastly, will you need web hosting
and/or domain name registration? If you have a rough
idea of what you want in a site you can
request a free quote
or speak to a representative at 516.541.3616.
What is billable?
The actual time we spend working on the site and the
time consulting with the client on the
specifications.
Do you design for businesses
located solely on Long Island?
While Long Island businesses are our core clientele,
we can create websites for out-of-state clients as
well. Today's technology allows us to communicate
with people anywhere and at anytime through email,
fax and phone.
How long does it take to have a
website designed?
The turn-around time for any site design/redesign is
dependant upon the size of the site, the amount of
content, how the content is to be presented (to us
and on the web) as well the complexity of the site.
We work with you every step of the way. You will have
the opportunity to "check-in" on your site as its
being developed.
How soon can a project start?
Most web design projects begin upon the receipt of a
signed contract and retainer fee. Initial
discussions, site drafts, images and content reviews
begin shortly thereafter.
Many times, it's best to gather your content and
thoughts ahead of time. Your assigned designer will
ask you a number questions to ensure that your
vision is evident your site's design. What do you
want to accomplish online? How will customers use
your website? What type or style of site do you
like?
If you have all your content and materials ready
now, we'll work out our schedule to get started
sooner. Additionally, if you want a site but are not
quite yet ready, let us know! We would gladly
schedule your project for a future date.
Do you provide web hosting and
domain name registration?
Yes. Learn about our hosting
packages or find a domain
name.
Do I have to host with NextWave
Solutions if you designed my site?
No.
What is site maintenance?
The most effective and popular sites today are those
that are updated regularly. Fresh content,
streamlined style and crisp, bold imagery will keep
your visitors coming back for more. Having a site
maintenance contract will ensure that your site
never gets old.
What type of content should I put
on my site?
This depends on the type of site you want. As a
business, you should put up as much information as
possible. From contact information, to the products
you sell or services you offer. Visitors to your
site should never leave with questions relating to
your services, products or your accountability. Put
your best foot forward.
If you choose to work with us, even though it is
your responsibility to provide us with the content
you want to see on your site, we can help in
narrowing down the amount of information. Content
should be in electronic format such as Microsoft
Word. Yet, in many cases we may be able to work with
what you have. Please keep in mind that it may be
more time consuming.

I have a site but where's the
traffic?
If you are interested in
online marketing
or search engine
optimization we can help guide you through this.
This too, like our design process, is done on an
hourly basis. It usually takes a couple of hours to
compile some data. For instance, we will need to
review your website first, to see if it is "search
engine friendly". If it's not, we will make
recommendations that will improve your sites
ranking.
In addition to
search engine optimization, we offer a
Pay-Per-Click
campaign as well. Here our consultants will work
with you to determine a list of keywords that will
be incorporated into an online ad. This ad we be
placed on the results page of a number different of
search engines.
A pay-per-click
campaign for your site can be set
up for your site with wonderful results. Here, the
actual cost for clicks would be billed directly to
your credit card by Google or Yahoo!. We would
simply maintain and monitor this for you on an
hourly basis.
Start the process today!
