HTML Websites

"Is HTML the way to go for my business?"

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) has always been the standard coding language of the web and is the most basic and standard platform for designing web sites. HTML is supported by all browsers on all platforms of computers. So whether you are using Internet Explorer 3.0 on a PC or Safari 1.3 on a Mac, an HTML website is easily understandable by all browsers.

HTML is best suited to content-based sites whereas Flash is best used for animated multi-media demonstrations. Both have their place. And of course, sites need not be one thing or the other; Flash is often put to good use as an element within an HTML page.

HTML Pros

  • SEO
  • - Any thing you type can be crawled by the major search engines. Granted you can do SEO in Flash, but it is no where as easy as HTML.

  • Availability
  • - Anybody that surfs the web can view HTML. This is good for any new devices on the market that want to integrate the web into their device. You can always be sure that they will be able to see your HTML.

  • Loading Times
  • - Due to the lack of complexity on most HTML pages, load times are fairly quick.

    Basically, if you have a lot of text or "wording" on your website, then HTML is for you!

    What does it cost to start my website?

    This will depend upon your individual project. If your website will be hosted by us, then you will need to pay your hosting fees up front. Your hosting fees will depend upon the length of hosting time you choose to pay for at a time. All hosting fees must be paid for on a minimum quarterly (3 months) basis and are non-refundable. If we are registering a new domain name for you, will need to pay for that up front as well. For the design portion of your website, you will you will need to pay a minimum of 50% of your design fee up front. The remainder will be due upon website completion. There are no setup fees, no startup fees.

    What about domain names?

    If you already have a domain name, then we will give you the DNS nameserver values to point your domain to. Or you can send us your login info for your domain registrar and we will change them for you. If you do not already have a domain name, then you can register one or as many domain names as you like. You can choose to register your domains for 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or more. Domain names cost just $12.95 per year. If you cancel your hosting plan with us, you will need to transfer your domain name. We will release the domain name to you and you will be responsible for registering it with a new domain hosting company.

    How about email accounts?

    If you host your site with us, you will be able to create your own email accounts like you@yourdomain.com. You get unlimited POP3 email accounts each with 2GB of storage (That's a LOT). You'll be able to login to your emails online, or use them with your fav desktop program, like Outlook or Incredimail.

    How long will it take before my website is done?

    Once the initial payment has been received, your account will be setup immediately. You will receive confirmation emails once domains are registered and hosting accounts are created. From there, your website completion time will vary greatly depending on a number of factors. The average website can be completed anywhere from 2 days to 1 week. Below is a list of the most common factors that will influence your website design completion:
  • How quickly you send us your website content.
  • How involved your website is - i.e. shopping cart, extensive scripts, programming, etc..
  • How quickly you respond to our questions during the design process - THIS IS THE MOST COMMON DELAY.
  • How many revisions you request of the design layout.
  • If you need graphic designs as well.
  • You get the idea.....

    Are my design options limited?

    No. However, your design cost will depend on you. In order to keep design costs to a minimum for our clients, Dacia's Artistic Solutions uses basic HTML and CSS coding in conjunction with pre-designed templates. We can customize a large variety of templates to suit your needs. In fact, many of the end results look NOTHING like the template we began with! For clients needing larger projects with more difficult coding options, these options are available at a higher price. However, most sites that we create are full of goodies such as contact forms, slideshows, galleries, etc...
    Don't worry, we make it look GOOD!

    What kind of options do I get in my design?

    You can get a whole host of options! We can do quite a few things without skyrocketing your costs. Examples include a custom Flash Intro, customized contact or input forms, speaking avatars, flash slideshows, awesome looking photo galleries... you name it, we do it. We strive to make all our clients happy. Any type of design or programming is available for our clients' website design needs. However, please keep in mind that anything beyond basic HTML coding and little extras will raise your design costs. We will do our best to get you the best possible price quote. For more detailed information on the little extras we can pop into your website, please click HERE.

    How secure will my site be?

    Your website will be hosted on a dedicated server and you will have a unique IP address for added security. In addition, you may purchase SSL certificates from us. While many companies offer free shared SSL certificates, we do not recommend them. Shared SSL certificates will only cause many of your customers to shy away from your website upon seeing "There is a problem with this website's certificate" displayed by their browser. We offer only the best to our clients. For SSL purchasing prices, please CLICK HERE.

    Will I be able to see my site's visitor statistics?
