Why do I need a website?

A website provides information and represents your organization with professionalism and credibility. Targeted audiences can explore your business, services, and products in the privacy of their homes or business offices.

What is a domain and why do I need one?

Every website must have a domain. Think of this as the address for people to find your website on the Internet (e.g., www.yourwebsite.com). DuBose Web Group takes care of your domain registrations for new and existing web sites.

What is web hosting?

Every website needs a home on the Internet - a place for your domain name, web page files, and graphics to reside. Essentially, you rent web space through a hosting company. Most hosting companies offer monthly, quarterly, and yearly packages. But don't worry, we'll do all of this!

I want to update my own website — Content Management

We create customized content management tools for your organization that allows you to update your own website. This web-based application takes the hassle away from having to contact an external webmaster for website updates! Our web content management tools put you in the driver’s seat and give you control of your site, allowing you to quickly have control of your investment. Read about our content management system.

How will people find my website on the Internet?

Having a visually appealing website is only half the battle of establishing your presence on the Internet. If potential customers cannot find your website on Google, Bing, and other high-traffic search engines, your organization is missing out on potential business. DuBose Web Group provides a customized Search Engine Marketing Campaign that can expand the presence of your organization on the web for users who are searching for services that your organization offers. Our team has learned the many secrets that can result in your website placing highly among search engine results when customers are indirectly searching for your services.

Can I measure and track statistics with my website?

Tracking performance and gathering information is mandatory for online success. As a part of your website development, DuBose Web Group installs special coding that tracks every dimension of your website and the visitors that visit it.  View a sample customized report

Why should I hire a professional to build my website?

There are many in the field who represent themselves as web designers. The bottom line is you get what you pay for! Some consultants can create great looking websites; however, no one can find this website when a potential customer is searching for services. Other web developers use outdated technology and are unaware of correct web strategies and coding that are essential for your website to universally appear on different Internet browsers. Incorrect development of a website can cause many unwanted headaches in the future.

At DuBose Web Group, we employ different experts to find the most effective solution for your website.

How long will it take to build my website?

Our team individually engages each client – one customer at a time – to tailor the right services around the customer’s website needs. Generally, each project can take 2-4 months and is individually assessed with an estimated date of completion provided when the customer signs a simple agreement with deposit. The following variables also impact the length of time it takes to build the website:

• The complexity of your intended project.
• The customer’s ability to provide content information to the designer in a timely manner.
• The company’s workload at the time of your request.

We consider our work as art and under no circumstances will we sacrifice quality in order to generate more money.

How much will it cost to build my website?

Every website contains different graphics and a great deal of programming in order to effectively reach the intended high quality outcome. After our team carefully examines the extent of your website development, we are able to provide a pricing estimate. You will find our costs to be reasonable and average among most Internet development companies. However, you get what you pay for! Many of our customers are former clients of other web designers who provided these services at a cheaper cost, providing a less effective website.

We are one of four companies that have been in business since 1986 – nearly 25 years!
