FAQs

How long will it take to create my Website?
There are several steps to creating your website. We will start with an “image” of the proposed site and a list of content. We will talk about who will create the content of the site. Generally speaking, the customer is responsible for the written parts.  In some respects, the speed of competition of the site is up to you.  A simple website can be ready in about three to four weeks, but it takes at least six weeks for most sites.

I want to update my Website; can I do that?
The WordPress platform is pretty easy to update for most people. The Blog portion is very easy to update yourself (but you do not have to have a blog).  You do not need training in computer markup language at all to update a WordPress site.  We will train you to update your site and offer services to help you if you should need them. Once your website is launched and live on the Internet, we can help you update it for a nominal fee. If you want a traditional website built with HTML computer code, you will need someone to update your site for you. Of course, if you want a site you do not need to update at all, that can be created for you.

I do not want to update the website by myself, what is your price for a updating the website for me?
We can update your site for $35 for the first 1.5 hours (or fraction). Each additional hour is $25 (or fraction). Many updates can be achieved within the first hour and a half.

What is your price for a Website?
If you want a very basic WordPress site and training, the starting price is $500. (We do have a less expensive alternative. Please see below.) If you need pictures, custom graphics and copy writing the price will increase depending on what you need. The final price depends on what you want. All charges are plainly stated before we start.

I want a Website, but I don’t have a budget for it. Can you get me started?
You can start of with a landing page or a simple “brochure” website. This can be very inexpensive and give you a website address (like, www.yourbiz.com) to use on your business cards, letterhead and in your advertisements. You will own your own website address and can improve your website when your money improves. We will work with you; there is no reason not to get started.

Do I need a Website or a Blog?
If you have a ready audience wanting to hear what you have to say, you should have a blog in your website. If you do not think you have the time to update a blog on a fairly regular basis, stick with a website. Or you can start off with both and drop the blog if it does not work out for you. With WordPress you can add a blog at anytime. So, it is up to you. WordPress makes it easy to drop or add a blog to your website. We will show you.

Do I have to use JW Web Solutions as my hosting company?
No, you don’t have to use our hosting. We will help you set-up your LAMP/WordPress account at your choice of hosting companies for $50. If you want us to have the ability to help you, we will need login privileges to your WordPress and hosting accounts.
Of course, if you use our hosting, it simplifies the process.

Can I have a third-party update my Website?
You own your own website and you can have your choice of person to update it. Of course, JW Web Solutions cannot be held responsible if you use a 3rd party to work on your site. We charge our normal hourly rates to fix websites broken by others.
