FAQ

Is Relvio Media available to take over maintenance of my web site if it was designed by another company?

Possibly. Much depends on the scope of your needs. If you simply need someone to add or modify text in your existing site this may not fit within our workload. If you’re looking for a significant redesign of your site this is more in line with what we offer.

I have an existing web site that I want to keep. I would just like you to change how it looks. Can you do this?

Although web sites can be very flexible, the coding required to put it all together can be very complex. It’s usually much easier to create a new web site from scratch, rather than trying to modify someone else’s existing code.

In some ways, the coding required to build a web site is similar to building a house. If, after the house is finished, you decide to take out a main support beam, the whole house might collapse. Web sites are structured much the same way. Generally, building a completely new web site is the way to go.

How long will it take to get my web site completed and online?

Professional web sites require care and planning to do things right. In most cases, We suggest allowing 6-8 weeks for a site’s completion. The timeline is very much dependant on how well-prepared the client is - if they have their text written, photos taken, and various other details worked out. For some clients, we’ve had their web site completed within a couple weeks. For others, the process turns out to be more complex than they anticipated and the site has taken longer to finish.

Why does the guy down the street charge less / more for his website design services?

There are thousands upon thousands of “web site designers” out there - everything from inexperienced teenagers making a few extra bucks, to high-end firms that charge many thousands of dollars. Relivo Media offers affordable, high-quality custom web site designs along with the experience necessary to make your website successful.

What can I expect from having a web site? Will I be overwhelmed with customers?

Quite honestly, the scenario of putting your site online and the next day being bombarded with thousands of customers is highly unlikely. A realistic view is that the average small business web site may get 50-150 visitors a day. Some of those visitors turn into real business, others are simply browsing around online. However, your website will be online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Even a modest 30 visitors a day translates into about 900 visitors a month - around 10,000 visitors a year. Clearly, a properly designed web site has the ability to reach a wide audience of potential customers. For a relatively small investment, the payback of having a custom website can be well worth it.

Do you offer Flash sites?

I am not currently offering Flash. In many cases, Flash is overused on web sites, to the point that the web site visitor is annoyed and irritated. We believe in keeping sites clean, simple and easy to navigate. This does not mean that in the right circumstances, small Flash elements cannot enhance a site. Used properly, Flash can be quite beneficial.
