1. You have already done that by looking into it! Once deciding on which Host Site / Website Designer to use, and checking their references (very important) you have completed step #one of the process.

2. The answer to this depends on what you need and what your expectations are. Sure, you can have all the wiz-bang goodies if you want to pay for them, but for many commercial websites we believe that this just is NOT needed. Tell people who you are, what you do, what you can do for them, give them some helpful information and as many ways to contact you as possible. If you do this using user-friendly navigation, in a non-boring manner, with some color, a professional layout and maybe an animation for novelty it will normally do the job for you. A professional first impression is the main ingredient here. We have found that the K.I.S.S. principal works very well in most instances on the web. Examples of your products or services and legitimate testimonials are also very helpful to prospects. Sure, things are not as inexpensive now as they were in the past due to changes on the Internet, but it is still MUCH cheaper to do things right on the net than a traditional brick-and-mortar business.

3. The short answer to this is YES...but only if you have checked out the Designer(s) and found them to be responsive, ethical, honest and most importantly - knowledgeable in the BUSINESS applications for websites. A GOOD designer knows that it requires more than just good looks to make your website work for you and be acceptable to the Search Engines, etc.

8. Ad Wizards was founded by Don Allen of Austin, Texas. Don comes with over 48 years of experience in sales, marketing and customer service in various industries. After spending approx. 2 years learning the ropes of using computers in sales and marketing on the Internet vs. traditional business, and then learning to design and create web pages...Don left the company he had previously contracted his services and clients with and started Ad Wizards. Don felt that if a company offered great customer service, combined with an understanding of the goals of marketing on the web in an HONEST atmosphere, it would eventually thrive. This attitude towards the importance of customer service etc. proved itself correct in a very short period of time! Ad Wizards currently has a number of professionals we work with that keep things moving in a timely fashion...from graphic artists, to website designers, programmers and SEO professionals.

10. Many of Ad Wizards' clients receive a phenomenal number of inquiries and leads. Because of the variety of businesses hosted by Ad Wizards, results do vary. The Internet is best used as an additional tool in your overall marketing "bag", as opposed to the sole method you use to market your products or services (with some exceptions of course). In most cases, it takes several months before a business new to the web sees any substantial traffic. Usually this is due to the time lag between Search Engine submissions and when they are actually accepted and indexed into the databases and then popularity metrics being established (usually by using a linking campaign). Patience and persistence is the key here. Everyone wants the same thing: be found using a lot of keywords, be on page 1 and be #1 on that page. Reality shows that to accomplish this is not something for the faint of heart. It takes time, money and expertise to rank a site well in Google. We know how!

11. We will. We include this service as part of what we do when we create a new website for a client. For best results we highly recommend our Advanced Link Management Services for incredible search engine ranking results. Contact us for more information.

12. Absolutely! There are a number of ways this can be accomplished and cost depends on your particular needs. The cost for the domain name registration, is currently $25.00 per year. There are cheaper sources around, but it is MUCH easier and ultimately less expensive if you allow Ad Wizards to register the domain name of your choice for you. We don't charge our clients for this service. These charges apply only to the registration of your domain name, and not the actual USE of it which will incur additional costs depending on what you need.

13. Yes. Ad Wizards will add the Google Analytics Code to all the pages on your website if hosted with us. Then we will grant you access to all the metrics and information that this will make available to you.

Once we have received your check, signed agreement, text copy, and images you want included on your Home Page, generally we have an initial draft for you to proof within 2 weeks or less, depending on work load.
