Do you have any documents to help me prepare?Yes! Our How to get prepared document is helpful in the early steps.
-
What information should I have ready upon purchasing my design package?
We will need your company profile, contact info, products and services, and any other information you intend to present on your website. You can also review our How to get Prepared Document.

How much input do I have?
We welcome your input! The more input we receive from you the better able we will be to satisfy your needs and produce a site that will have the desired look and impact that you want. It's your website, we want it to look the way you want it. We guarantee it 100%
-
If I already have a site can you help me improve it?
Yes. We can usually redesign or freshen up an existing site quicker, and for less money than building one from scratch. Whether your company's website "doesn't look professional", takes too long to load or the navigation is baffling to visitors, we can help.
-
Can you use my business's existing logo, brochure design, and other materials for my website?
Certainly. If your logo and promotional materials are not in electronic format, we can convert them to a format appropriate for your website for a small fee. We can accept almost any type of file. If your materials are printed, we can scan and convert them. Flying Fuss Design's designers will help you establish your online image to be consistent with your existing image that your customers already know & remember.
-
Does my business need to be computer-based in order to have a website? Do I need to know about computers?
NO, you do not need to own a computer or have computers involved in your business in order to have a website. Many companies do filing, invoicing and more without a computer. Creating a website is more about exposing your business to new potential clients and generating new sales. There is no need to overhaul the way your company does business.
-
What does 'Website Maintenance' or 'Website Updates' mean?
Website Maintenance or Website Updates refers to changes made to your website after the initial design & setup. Keeping a website up-to-date is essential in having repeat visitors to your site. Updating the site with sales, articles, new products, newsletters, press releases, financial figures and links are all examples of website Maintenance. You are welcome to send over your list of necessary revisions. We are happy to assist you with any changes you would like at $45/hour.

My company is in the service industry. Will a website help my business?
Absolutely! Over 80% of the population who are online from home or the office are doing so to research about businesses that provide services or products. Your service-oriented business can provide samples, references, location, hours of operation and more right away from your website 24hours/7days a week/365 days a year.
-
Who writes the copy/text for each of the pages on the website?
You are responsible for writing the copy/text for your website. However, Flying Fuss Designs will place your supplied copy on the website for you. We can often help start you down the right path to the appropriate text for your site.
-
Do I have to host with you?
No, unlike other companies we don’t make hosting with us mandatory. However, choosing to host with us is a BIG advantage for you. You don’t have to worry about any technical aspects of managing your hosting account and the servers, we do it all for you. Plus you just have a one point contact for your Web Presence. If there is a problem it is always better to call a single company who can take care of everything while you concentrate on your business. We will make your website one less worry for you.

How Does Your Web Design Process Work?
Our mission is to build the best and most cost effective website for you. A professionally built website can promote your products and services, enhance your image, and generate sales. With that in mind, we will carefully research your business needs and plan a strategy to create the ideal web solution.
Initial Consultation All our services begin with a free initial consultation to determine your requirements. We will work closely with you to determine your exact needs and desires. This helps us gather information about your company, services, audience, purpose, site goals, and more.
The consultation step is very important. We prefer you call so we can provide you with faster service, but emails are okay too.Proposal & Paperwork After you are confident we have addressed all your ideas, questions, and requirements, you can get specific recommendations for your project. There are many different ways to meet your specific needs. We explain these options with the proposed pricing to deliver them. Once you agree, you receive a formal proposal that contains all of the work you require, prices and payment schedule. Payments We require 50% Deposit to start your work. After “you agree”, “we agree” and paperwork is signed and faxed or mailed to us, we start the actual design process. If you do not understand the smallest of points at this step PLEASE ASK FOR CLARIFICATION! Miscommunication and false expectations do NOT move the design process forward in a productive manner. At ANY time please contact us about any concerns, questions or comments you have about your project. Collecting Your Content You will provide us with the text and any other content for your website and any specific pictures you would like. We will work with you to find any stock images that you might wish. During this stage it is important to stay away from copyrighted images. Design Development We ask you to provide examples of websites you really like, colors you like, and your competitors’ websites. We can also provide you with access to our professional high quality Semi Finished Designs and you can choose the one you like. Once you provide that information to us, usually within 1 week, you get a creative "mockup" of what your website will look like when it's completed. At this stage, you and the designer work closely to develop a look that will be both visually pleasing and user-friendly. Design Selection & Finalization After the initial "Mockup" is designed, you will review it on our servers. We send you a web link to view the "mockup" and ask if you would like any changes. You request revisions as necessary and then you provide final approval. Web Development After receiving your final approval on the "mockup", we will then begin building the website and web pages, incorporating the design and all of the content that you provide. Pre-launch Evaluation After the site is built, you will be able to view all pages to make sure everything is exactly how you want it. You will submit any desired changes to the copy and then give final approval before the site goes live. Launching Your Website After final approval and payment has been received, your website will be published on your domain, and it will be live for all the world to see!
We can register your domain name and host your website too – so you don’t have to worry about technical aspects of your website and we become your one stop shop for your web presence.Ongoing Support After your website is launched, we will work with you to establish a regular review and maintenance schedule of your web site to accommodate your requests, user feedback, system upgrades and any new emerging web technologies. -
What is your typical turn around period?
Due to the high level of custom work and the collaborative process involved in each website we build, it's difficult to predict an exact turn around time. We will work together with you to complete the Web Design Project in a timely manner. We agree to work expeditiously to complete the Web Design, but delays can occur if any milestone that requires your action, such as approving design mockups or web design changes, is not acknowledged on time. As an example, a 5 page website can be finished anywhere between 1-6 weeks after we've received all content and feedback from you. It's a safe estimate to expect at least a month for your project, though it could be much quicker or slower, depending on your input. Always remember, we can only work as fast as you allow us; turn around time is client-dependent. If content is provided sooner, initial and on-going instructions are clear and revisions requested are reasonable, turn around time can be significantly decreased. On the other hand, it could drastically increase due to client in-action, delayed mockup approvals, back and forth change requests, etc.

Yes, we would love to. We charge a low $10.95 monthly fee for web hosting. Domain Names are $20/Year. We can provide numerous custom email accounts and stats to about your website.

After you have designed our website, can we manage it ourselves easily?
