FAQ - Frequently asked questions

Here are some questions and answers that may be helpful when you are considering a website for your small business, and if you have any other questions please don't hesitate to contact us.

Q: How do I know what to include on my website?

The number of pages and content you include depends on the type of site you need.  For example, you may only require a brochure style site - say, 3 pages to advertise who you are and where you are based.  On the other hand, a company selling multiple services may require many pages to describe each service. 

Whatever your needs, remember that we provide a FREE initial planning session, and will work with you to produce a page plan for your site.  We can also provide you with tips and tricks for writing the content, helping to ensure that you include those valuable keywords throughout your site.

Q: How long will it take to build my website?

This will depend on the number of pages and level of complexity of the site, but an average 6-8 page static site can be completed within 3-4 weeks (provided you have all the information to hand & graphics ready to go).

Q: What is the process you follow to build my website?

We follow an easy 5-step process:

1. Establish your website needs
2. Agree on a design & domain name
3. Develop your test site using the chosen design
4. Review and update your content
5. Go live!

Q: How much will my website cost?

The price for a small business website depends on the number of pages and complexity of design.  As an example, for a simple static 5 page design with one email address link the cost would be $550 plus the one-off template cost (between $100 and $140).  Content managed Joomla sites (that you can update yourself) start at $750 for a 5 page site plus $140-200 one off cost for page design.

In addition to this you would incur charges for web hosting and domain registration (about $100 per year for a static site).  Please refer to the Pricing Guide for more details on costs and the Services page for a range of services available.

Q: Can you guarantee that my site will be at the top of the Google searches?

No-one can guarantee your site to be top of the list - but Love2Web does ensure that the content of your site is keyword-rich which is one of the main factors considered by the search engines.  All sites developed by Love2Web have very good rankings in Google - most appearing on the first three pages when searches are done on the keywords for the related business.  It is worth noting also that search engine "rules" change regularly and we will always try to ensure that your site is search engine-friendly by keeping abreast of the latest updates. 

If high search rankings are paramount to your site, you may decide to use the services of a Search Engine Optimisation company (SEO).  We can recommend some options for you if this is of interest.

You can also consider buying Google adwords to get your site into the Sponsored Links on search results.

Q: What is web hosting?

Web hosting is a fee that you pay to have your site accessible on the Internet. It is paid directly to the web hosting company, but Love2Web can help you set up your web hosting (and domain registration).

Q: What template designs do you use?

We have two main template designers for static HTML sites who we highly recommend.  Their templates are affordable, and they offer great creative style.  Check these out:

For Joomla CMS sites, we create the template design for you using a web design package.  For sample designs for Joomla, please contact us.

Q: What is a domain name?

A domain name is a specific web site address that you choose and register each year. Our domain name is "www.love2web.co.nz".

Q: Can I include a video on my site?

Absolutely!  A great (and inexpensive) way to include video, is to load up your movie to YouTube or Vimeo, and then embed the link in your site.  Another advantage of using these sites is that the movie is stored on their server, so it doesn't take up space on your site.
