FAQ
What exactly is an Easy-to-Update Website?Setting up a website can be a daunting task for anyone. Where is the best place to buy a domain name? Should I use the same company for webhosting? How large of a package should I buy? And the biggest issue is always, “How easy is it to keep updated?”
At Palmetto State Web Consulting we have designed and set-up hundreds of websites since 1995. The most common requests of our clients are (1) a good looking website (2) on a minimal budget (3) that’s easy to maintain. Our solution is the “Easy-to-Update Website” package.
When you order an “Easy-to-Update Website” we carry you through a step-by-step consultation process to make sure we understand the look, feel and goals you have for your website. Once the consultation is complete, we set-up a webhosting account in your name for your website. As part of our Easy-to-Update Website services we create custom email accounts for you (yourname@yourwebsite.com).
Once your website template is built, we create your Home page and a Contact Us page that contains a form your customers can fill out to send you comments or questions. With the initial set-up of your site complete, we’ll submit it to search engines and create a Google Sitemap which makes it easier for Google to know what’s on your website.
After this last step the website is yours to update as little or as often as you’d like. We’ll send you a short but complete guide on how to update your website using free online tools which comes with your hosting package. The guide explains how to create additional web pages, add links, pictures, even change your website template if you’d like.
A feature we have just recently added, in case you’re nervous about messing up your newly created website, we also create a Test Website which allows you to play with all the online tools and not risk your existing website.
What’s does the website costs after set-up?
During the consultation process we determine the best fit hosting package, which can cost anywhere from $10 to $20 per month, paid via a credit card you provide.
Can I upgrade/downgrade my hosting package?
You are free to change hosting packages at any time, once your website it set-up it's completely yours to do with as you wish. Lower-cost hosting packages may not support some of the features we chose for you during our consultation and set-up. If you choose to downgrade your hosting package you risk certain features of your website being permanently deleted. We are not able to recover anything lost due to downgrading your hosting package. Feel free to send us an email at anytime if you're not sure about certain features.
I’ve already have an “Easy-to-Update Website”, can you make some additional changes for me?
