Frequently Asked Questions.
How much does web design cost?
We might as well state the obvious question first because we get it a lot! We wish we could give you a hand’s down price of our services – but web development doesn’t always work that way.
Because your ideas, wants and needs for your business are unique, we will provide you with a unique price. Contact us for a FREE quote, we will more than likely classify your needs and goals for your new site into our four different flexible packages.
Why do I need a Web site?
The Internet Super Highway, as it was once-known, has changed...and rapidly! Think of your own surfing habits. Is Google your home page? Do you constantly search out your doctor, your church, your newspaper? Do you use the web to review business competition, manage your life and social groups?
If you answered 'yes' to any of those questions, you already know the value of the Web: it educates. Position yourself as a leader in your business and educate your customers before they pick up the phone or walk through the door. We view the web as an extended arm of yourself, business or social group. The Web today, is where your customers expect to find you. Let INS Web Development empower you to take control of your online presence!
How long have you been around?
INS Web Development has been a primary business unit of Iowa Network Services since 2005. While we initially have been providing service to our 127 Member Companies, we have also had the opportunity to branch out and create exciting solutions for small business owners as well. We're a smaller team that has the luxury to work within a business that is Iowa based, values people, technology and our network. So while our department is young, 2008 will mark the 20th anniversary of Iowa Network Services. Happy 20th Anniversary!
What's a Content Management System?
CMS = Content Management System.
A CMS is web-based editor that grants the user the ability to edit their own web site. Through an online editor, the user can update content on their site without having to rely on an in-house web developer to make copy changes. Over a period of time, think of the money you can save by not paying someone else to manage your content.
I want to upgrade to a CMS! How do I do that?
Just press this button, and consider it done!!! If it was only that easy. In all seriousness however, we do have packages setup for existing INS Web Development customers that are currently on the Standard Design package. The same design will carry over, and all your copy will remain the same. However, you’ll be granted the ability to manage and take full control of the content on your website! If you are a new customer, give us a call or drop us a line, we would welcome the opportunity to empower you as a site owner, with a new, state-of-the-art Content Management System.
Can you help me maintain my website?
We know your busy - and even with a CMS, managing content can be a tough. Why not let us do that for you? We have some post-launch options for you that could relieve the stress of having to always maintain your own content. Like site design, not all maintenance is priced the same. Please contact us to learn more about this option.
