| Is this a do-it-yourself product? | |
Absolutely not. You get a fully operational website backed by our dependable client support. Depending on your needs and preferences, your staff can use WebBridge™ (our special content management software) to make changes and to add information to the website, or we can do some or all the content updates. This gives you the perfect balance of comfort and control over publishing information on your website. More answers to questions about our custom website design

| Do you offer a free trial? | |
All XENTAGE™ websites are custom designed and built to meet your unique business needs. The amount of work involved makes it impractical for us to offer free trials. | |
| What are the steps for getting a XENTAGE™ website? | |
If you already have a website and you want to improve it, we recommend you start with a free website review. If you know what you want from your new or improved website, please request an estimate for the project. Detailed information about the website development process | |
| When can we have our new website ready? | |
It depends on the size and complexity of your project. Our streamlined development process and flexible allocation of resources allow us to meet even the most challenging deadlines. Find out if we can match your time frame – request an estimate. | |
| How much does it cost? | |
Each XENTAGE™ website is unique and so is its price. We will propose a solution that will maximize your return on investment, based on your goals and budget. While we can provide an effective website for as low as $3,500 and $50/month, we recommend an investment of minimum $10,000 for the first year, to allow for proper strategy planning, design, development, maintenance and promotion of your website. Find out what solution we can provide within your budget – request an estimate. | |
| What is the monthly payment for? | |
The monthly fee pays for the on-going services, including the software licence. Instead of a large upfront investment in a software application that will become obsolete in a couple of years, you get to use software that is always up to date and continuously improved, for a small monthly fee - just another way the Website-as-a-Service model maximizes your ROI. The monthly payment also covers the hosting, domain registration, maintenance, support, and promotion services included in your solution. | |
| But other web development companies don't charge monthly... | |
Regardless of the provider you choose,
you will face ongoing costs, at least for hosting, domain
registration, maintenance and support services. Many web designers do
not offer these services, leaving it up to you to find and deal with
one or more additional providers. Other companies simply don't disclose these
costs upfront, to give you the illusion of a better deal. We prefer
to provide a complete solution, with everything your website needs to
achieve your goals, at a completely predictable and clear cost.
| |
| Still, we can find cheaper hosting... | |
Sure you can find hosting packages for
less than your XENTAGE™ monthly fee. Only that you'd be comparing
apples to oranges. Your XENTAGE™ website monthly payment covers so
much more than just hosting services. The monthly fee pays for all the on-going
services, including the software licence, worry-free
domain registration, maintenance, support, and promotion services, as
included in your solution.
| |
| What other charges should we expect? | |
All services included in your solution and the corresponding fees are clearly specified on your order form. If a fee is not listed there, you don’t pay it. Period. | |
| For how long are we locked in the contract? | |
We don’t believe in taking prisoners. You can leave whenever you want, but we are sure you will be with us a long time, simply because our services are profitable for your company. Well, our unbelievable client support may be a factor, too. | |
| Who owns the website? | |
You own everything you paid for, which is almost everything a visitor to your website can see. We own the software, for which you only have a right to use, granted for the period covered by the monthly fees you paid, and subject to the terms of service. | |
| Can we move the website to another hosting company? | |
Yes, but only if you terminate your agreement with us, and only the components you own. That would make a complete but static website. You will most likely need replacement software, probably from your new provider, in order to achieve the website functionality you want. | |
| What do you do to drive traffic to our website? | |
Every website has unique promotional needs, determined by its target market and the actions of its competition. We will help you define and implement a website promotion strategy that is right for you. | |
| Will our website come up first in Google? | |
We build your website to be search engine friendly, so it has a good foundation for the search engine optimization process. Achieving and maintaining a good position for popular keywords requires a lot of sustained work. We can perform the work for you, or we can assist you in your own SEO efforts - our CMS gives you complete control over on-page optimization. If you are interested in these services, we will provide you with a quote, based on your specific needs and requirements. |
