General Website Questions
How much does it cost to set up a website?
The cost of a website depends on a number of factors, including the number of pages, level of design, and kind of functionality.
Generally speaking, you can expect to pay between $2,250 and $10,000 for a new website in 2018. Learn more about the cost of a website.
What will my website address be?
That's up to you! It will depend on the domain name, or URL, that you purchase. There are a limited number of URLs available, so it may be difficult to get the specific address you want.
How will people find my site?
People can find your website by typing the address into the address bar of their Internet browser, by searching for keywords related to it, or by seeing some form of advertising (both online and offline) that directs them to visit it.
Will everyone who sees my site see the same thing?
Generally, yes. However, due to advancements in web design technology, some sites can now dynamically display content differently depending on the device or screen size of the visitor.
Additionally, WebFX has a proprietary set of tools that allows our clients to change landing page or website content to target leads in different industries or companies. Learn more about our company targeting options.
Do I need to create a separate mobile website?
You do not, but you can if that is your preference. It depends on what is easiest for your customers and website users. Learn more about mobile website development.
Internet Marketing Questions
How do I market my website?
There are many ways to market your website. You can use social media, content marketing, inbound marketing, blogs, email, SEO, outreach, PPC, and so much more. There are many options, which is why we recommend relying on a trusted partner to create a plan that suits you, rather than trying everything blindly without knowing what will work. Learn more about Internet marketing strategies.
How do I increase my website traffic?
There are countless ways to increase your website traffic. We recommend reading our guide, "101 Free Ways to Drive Traffic to Your Website", to get started.
Will my website be listed in the major search engines?
Yes, it will, but you typically have to submit your site for this to happen. If you build a website with WebFX, we will do this for you.
What are ways that I can market my site online?
If you're brand new to the topic of online marketing try our, "Inbound Marketing Starter Guide" to learn more about all the ways that you can increase visibility, drive traffic, and create leads and conversions.
How cost-effective is online marketing compared to traditional marketing?
Online marketing is much more cost-effective. But more importantly, it's far more easy to track than traditional marketing methods. You can't measure the exact number of people who saw your billboard along the highway, but you can track the impressions on a PPC ad.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Questions
What is SEO?
SEO refers to a number of practices that are used to improve your site's performance in search. Basically, they're things that are done to make your site show up more often for more relevant words or phrases.
How does SEO work?
SEO is very complex. Sometimes not even people who call themselves SEOs or Internet marketers fully understand how SEO works!
To put it very simply, though, everything that is done online involving your website—all the links pointing to it, all the shares of your content, all the content written for it, all the transactions and page views—either build or detract your authority. The more authority your site has, the better you rank.
So, basically, what we do for SEO is try to build you more authority. Link building, copywriting, keyword research, pagespeed improvements, and so on, are all to increase your authority and get you to rank better.
Do I need different SEO for different search engines?
Not really. Although there are differences, they are subtle. You can usually focus on Google when it comes to SEO, since a large majority of people prefer this as their search engine, and most organic traffic comes from here.
How much does SEO cost?
Great question! If you've looked at any other agency sites, you may have noticed their SEO pricing conveniently missing. This isn't the case with us. We publish all of our rates online, so you'll never be left wondering "how much should I expect to pay for SEO?" with us.
WebFX offers SEO packages that are affordable for companies looking to optimize their sites on an ongoing basis and rank for the keywords most relevant to their business or brand. Learn more about our SEO pricing.
Can I do SEO myself?
You can... but use caution. SEO can be time-consuming, and it's a lot to keep up with, especially because the industry is always changing.
Website Design Questions
How long does it take to have a website designed?
Website design timelines vary based on the number of pages needed, the level of design, and whether or not there are any special effects, like Flash design, or development. It can take as little as 15-20 hours, or as much as a year in some extreme cases for very large sites.
What is the process for redesigning my existing website?
To get an idea of what the redesign process looks like, we recommend reading our "Complete Guide to Redesigning Your Website."
What is responsive website design?
Responsive design is a fairly new method in which a website's content is scaled up or down to display properly on devices no matter what size or resolution their screens are. It's a way to make websites look great on both desktops and cell phones without requiring a separate mobile site. See some responsive websites we've created for clients.
