| | | | General Website Design Q&A |  |
• |
I want to put my business online, but I don't know where to start. Can you help me? | | | | Absolutely! CompuNet Services offers free initial consultation on all website services—just contact us. For in-depth assistance on your Internet strategies, we offer expert consulting services at competitive rates.
| | | • | Do you redesign existing sites? | | | | Yes. We can usually redesign an existing site more quickly, and for less money, than building one from scratch. Send us your existing site's URL (Web address) and a general idea of what you'd like to do, and we'll be glad to give you an estimate.
| | | • | Where do I submit requests for website design proposals, cost estimates, etc? | | | | Send your questions and requests to compunet@wam.co.za, or contact us by one of the means listed on our contact page.
| | | • | I have a great idea for a business website, but how do I know you won't steal my idea? | | | | To give you an estimate, we don't need to know specifically what you plan to do with your site. Just give us some general information: whether you'll be selling products or services; how many pages you think you'll need; any special features (shopping carts, etc.). If you decide to hire us, you'll receive a contract guaranteeing the confidentiality of all materials you submit to us and protecting your intellectual property rights.
| | | • | Your services seem geared towards business. Do you design websites for individuals, too? | | | | Of course! Our competitive and flexible pricing makes professional website design affordable for individuals and organizations. We can build a website for your club; a family reunion, wedding, or other special event; a tribute to a special person—the possibilities are endless. Tell us what you have in mind. | |
| | Submitting Materials | |
• |
Can you use my business's existing logo, brochure design, and other materials for my website? | | | | Certainly. If your logo and promotional materials are in electronic format, we can convert them to a format appropriate for your website. We can accept almost any type of file, including Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Microsoft Word, Excel, Publisher, and other Microsoft Office formats. If your materials are printed, we can scan and convert them. CompuNet Services designers will help you keep your online image consistent with your existing one.
| | | • | Some of the photos I want to use on my site are slides. Can you handle those? | | | | Yes. Our equipment includes scanners made specifically for slides and 35mm negatives. Our processing is state-of-the-art, so your digitized images will look their best.
| | | • | The text I want on my website is printed, not on my computer. Will I need to type it out for you? | | | | You don't have to. We use the latest OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to convert printed text to electronic format. Even the best OCR software is not perfect, however. If for some reason your printed text can't be scanned, we can input it manually at our basic hourly rate (see our pricing page). | |

My existing website needs a few minor changes. Do you handle small jobs like that? | | | | Sure! Our pricing is based on our hourly rate schedule. (See our pricing page.)
| | | • | Do you offer discounts to charitable organizations? | | | | We offer substantial discounts to charitable organizations that are registered as nonprofit. E-mail us at compunetza@gmail.com for details. |
