Faqs
We get asked this an awful lot and its hard to answer; kinda like being asked
"how much does a car cost?" Give us a call and we can let you
know the ballpark range of our services. There is no pressure from us;
we know one of the most important elements is being able to communicate
with your design team.
We always provide full quotes up front and try to break them down as much as possible to allow you to pick and choose the services offered.
We wont be the cheapest quote, but we should be the best price for the quality of service.
If you are looking for your first website a good rule of thumb is to budget
between $150 - $200 per page. This should cover everything from design,
imaging, seo, domain name and hosting.
Will you get me to the top of Google?
Yes, but it does not come free or easy; despite of the spam you may have received offering it for $49.95. Take a wander through our Articles section to understand this a bit more.
Can you suggest things to help my online business?
Absolutely. We have been at this since 1995 and have a solid knowledge of web marketing, customer retention strategies and overall online business practices. All this advice is free for our clients.
Why the name PlainJanes?
We started designing travel websites back when dinosaurs roamed....ok...not
quite that long ago, but it was in the early days. Backgrounds were gray,
text was black and graphics were problematic.
Then things started changing
and at alarming speeds. We got electric backgrounds and animated gif's and
things that blinked. While dancing hamsters were amusing, they did little
to get our clients business.
That is what we focused
on - driving customers to our clients sites and retaining the customer on
the site. Because, with a customer on your site you had a good chance of
selling to him if you were not blinding him with electric
blue blinking text.
So, in a time where the Blink Tag was king - we wanted to focus on the Tasteful, the Artful and the Successful. Hence, PlainJanes.
Yes, things are still changing at warp speed - and we endeavour to provide the best solutions in new technology to our clients.
Do you hand code html/css?
I totally don't understand why people ask this. Neither do my partners. We have thousands of dollars of web software that can streamline the awkwardness of hand coding, yet people still want us to use a free microsoft accessory program.
I don't get it. I can read it, I can understand it and I can tweak
it - but don't ask me to hand code it. I have better things to do than memorize
all the colour codes.
