Frequently Asked Questions

1.  Why should I hire a professional designer? 

Great design is an art form.  Not everyone can design, not everyone has the technical and artistic abilities necessary to put a project together.  It's a skill, and there is a lot more to it than meets the eye. 

I have been designing all my life.  On the technical side of things, I have been training for years and almost every day I have to learn something new.  If you don't do it everyday, there's no way to keep up with the fast moving technology and artistic trends. 

Lastly, design is a value-added service.  Imagine the amount of circulation a website or a logo actually receives.  Imagine how many people will view it. Imagine the amount of value it will add to your business. 

2.  Why do I need a website? 

Because if you don't, you may lose market positioning to your competition.  Today, people want to type your name or business into a search engine like Google/Yahoo and find information about you on the internet.  Whether it be to look up your phone number, or find driving directions to your location, or see pictures of your products, people want to find information fast! 

The web is becoming as important as the Yellow Pages to deliver information to your customers.  It's not a trend, it's here to stay.

3.  Do you offer hosting and SEO optimization? 

Yes, I am affiliated with a great hosting provider and can recommend a package to suit your needs. 

Yes, my sites are optimized to be indexed by the major search engines. All sites include basic SEO strategies.  It depends on your business, but I usually achieve good results with the techniques I utilize in all my websites.  See my portfolio for case studies.

4. Can you give me a quote on the spot?

Generally not, but I will put together a free quote after we have discussed your project in more detail.  Websites and other design projects are highly diverse.  I have to ask a lot of questions of you up front, and you have to give honest and complete answers in order for the project to be estimated. 

5.  What sets MAGwebs apart from other design companies? 

I believe it's my eye for design and attention to detail.  I can think big picture as well as very fine details associated with bringing any kind of artistic project together.  I also believe my work speaks for itself.  Visit my portfolio for examples of my work.  I take my work very seriously and believe in achieving the most attractive and functional design possible. Your project will not look like any other project, it will be completely unique and designed to your specifications.
