Questions about My Needs:
- I have an existing website that I want "converted"
to your CMS system. Can you do this? - On site of your
website layout and content, we will be able to determine if
this is possible for your site. As our CMS uses certain server
software, layouts might need to change according to what works
best with our technologies.
- I have designed my website / a few websites in PSD
format, can you convert this into a theme/skin for me?
- Shebang Websites is not a PSD to HTML company. Though this
is perfectly within out capabilities, we prefer clients use
our team for their website designs - this ensures that we have
both creative and technical control of the site. Requests for
this service are handled on a case-for-case basis.
- How do you cost your websites?
- We offer three packages: The Little, The Big, and The Whole
Shebang. Each package has been put together quite specifically,
based on our experience with our clients' requests over the
years... The three packages are designed to suit both your needs
and budget.
- Why do I need a website? - Well,
we could give you thousands of reasons, but simply put, if you
have a business, you should have a website. The bigger question,
is how you plan to use your site... Do you simply need a web
presence (brochure-ware)? Or are you looking to trade online?
The answers to these questions will help determine the package
you'll need.
- Can I edit my website? - If
you purchase one of our CMS packages (Big or Whole Shebang),
yes, you can.
- How easy is the CMS to use? -
If you can operate a program like MS Word and know your way
around a web application like Facebook, with a bit of training
you should pick it up quite easily.
- Do you host email? - No we don't.
Shebang websites design and host websites. We recommend using
either your ISP or a dedicated email provider for hosting mail. Alternatively, if your business has less than 10 staff members, we can set you up on Google Apps for a fee.
