Lucid Green: Websites made simple

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much does web design cost?
    The cost of your web development project will vary depending on the visual sophistication of your site, the features you require, and the overall complexity of your website. In essence, it comes down to time and materials; the more time and features your website requires, the more expensive it will be.
  • Do I really need a website?
    Yes, in today's world you do not exist if you do not have a website. You are simply expected to make basic information about your business or organization available on the internet. What time are you open? Where are you located? What kinds of goods or services do you provide? Most people will prefer to look up the answers to these questions on your website over calling you on the phone.
  • Can I update the website myself?
    Yes, most websites we build utilize a convenient and powerful content management system. This allows you to update your website from any computer connected to the internet.
  • How much does it cost if I want you to update it for me?
    We charge $35 per hour billed in 1/2 hour increments. Most simple updates can be done in an hour or less.
  • How long does it take to build a website?
    A website can be completed in just a few days, or it can take several months. There are two main factors which contribute to the time it takes to develop a website. First, the size of the site, and second, the amount of time it takes the site owner to provide the needed content and feedback.
  • Can I just design a website myself?
    Certainly! In fact, we love to see people take this kind of initiative, and even have resources to help people do it.

    Still, it takes a significant amount of knowledge and skill to create a website that is both functional and beautiful. You could settle for a very limited do-it-yourself package offered all over the web, but the results are generally "cheap" looking.

    This is why we exist. To help people like you who don't want to learn the technical stuff but still want an excellent website.
  • Can you guarantee my website will be listed in the major search engines?
    No, and no reputable company should. Getting a website listed in search engines is not an exact science. All of the websites we design are optimized for search engine placement, and we will do our best to help you get listed, but in the end the only way to be assured of high search engine rankings is to frequently update your website with great content that people want to read.

    Yes! If there are any problems with your website's functionality, it is our responsibility to correct them to your satisfaction.
  • Will I have to use you to revise or update my web site?

Once we complete your site, however, we provide you with all the source files and passwords and other information that any competent web designer would need. In other words, you are completely free to choose whomever you wish to revise or update your site.
