|
Q: What steps are taken when you are creating a website?
A: Several steps are taken during a website creation. I have listed them below:
Step #1: Choosing A Domain Name
You will need a domain name for your website. A domain name is a registered address
or name for your website. There are many options for domain name extensions. Some examples
are: .com, .net, .info, .biz or .org. When choosing a domain name, please be mindful of
SEO. Pick a domain name that directly represents your company which will help
you reach a higher ranking in the search engines. Owning your domain name
restricts others from using your business name & it also adds the address to
your name so internet users can find your website. You may also use a
domain that you already own from somewhere else that's not from the
below suggested domain companies to use.
We ask that you purchase & chose your own domain name. We would like to recommend
www.godaddy.com or
www.mydomain.com
for purchasing your domain name. The cost will be appx. $9.99 per year.
When you purchase your domain name,
please include your keywords that you want to be found in the search engines for
in your domain name as that will help your website a lot with
SEO (search engine optimization)
and your ranking in the search engines.
Step #2: Choosing A Category Menu Style
You will need to choose a website menu style that suits you best! You currently have 6
menu styles available to pick from! Each menu style is custom created from scratch by
us! If you are only going to have a few pages, then menu style #'s 2, 4, 5, & 6 would
work best for you! If you need alot of website pages then menu style #'s 1, 3, 5, & 6
would work best for you! If you plan to have more then 3 rows of categories, we'd
be happy to custom create a cascading drop down menu for you! As you can see,
we always custom create websites with our clients specific needs in mind!
Step #3: Choosing A Color Scheme & Design Template
You will need to choose what you would like for a color scheme, background (striped,
polka dotted, plaid, scroll, stars, etc), & fonts! That's right! You have a choice! We
will pull you into every aspect of the creation of your website! We offer very chic,
elegant, hip, affordable, professional website designs that you won't find any
where else! Before you decide on a color scheme etc, we would like to ask
that you take a look at our design templates
to see some of the designs we currently offer so you can get some ideas of
what you would like to have for your custom website design template!
If you would like to use one of the design templates we currently offer, please
let us know! Please let us know if you see anything on the design templates
that you like so that we can incorporate it into your website design! You
can even mix and match any of the design templates that we offer! Your
custom designed website will be created from scratch with your specific
wants & needs in mind! No cookie cutters here!
Step #4: The Creation Of The Complete Website
Once we have created your custom website design template, category menu system, & implemented
the layout structure of the website, we will provide you a "peeka boo" link so that you can
watch the progress & the implementing that goes into creating your complete custom designed
website! We will first create your home page & ask you to approve it! Once the home page
design, menu system, & layout structure of the website has been approved, we will then
start creating the rest of your website pages so that we can start adding all of the
products, services, images, content, descriptions, prices, & shopping
cart to your website!
While we are creating your template design, menu, & layout structure... you will
need to decide which and how many pictures & products you plan to carry on your website!
You will need to decide how you want the products to be titled & write up
descriptions for each of your products. You will need to write up any text
content you want to be placed in your website pages. When creating your
content for your web pages please keep your keywords in mind that you
want to be found in the search engines for! This will help with your
SEO. Please also remember when you are providing the content for your
web pages to personalize your website! Show your personality within
your web pages! A website is an entity of who you are! It will allow
those who have not yet met you, to see who you are inside!
Make your website interesting to visitors!!
Step #5: Shopping Cart Set Up & PayPal
We create websites that use the PayPal shopping cart system. PayPal is known for
only allowing it's shopping cart users two drop downs & no coupons; however, we
have created scripts that will allow our clients to offer as many options as they
want and even offer coupon discount codes they can give to their customers. Our
custom scripts allow us to combine all options before the customer gets to the
PayPal check out section. In case you don't know, PayPal is the most secure
on-line money system available! PayPal accepts all major credit cards (Visa,
Master Card, Amex, Discover, bank account, PayPal account funds) and your
customers are NOT REQUIRED to have a PayPal account to purchase from you!
Your customers would just use their credit card like any other online pay system,
it will just be processed through PayPal. PayPal automatically encrypts ALL
confidential information using a Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL)! The regular
http:// address turns into https:// which means it's SECURE!
You will need a PayPal account to accept payments automatically through
your website. If you don't already have a free PayPal account,
click here
to sign up for one. Please read more about payments here!
Step #6: Hosting
We offer very affordable and reliable hosting for all of your hosting needs!
Our hosting cost is only $45 a year. We are fast in creating our client's
hosting accounts, we are super affordable, always reliable, and we offer the
best hosting support around. We pride ourselves in offering our clients the
very best! I try very hard to give my clients the best deal for their money!
I offer experience so that my clients can have exactly what they want for their
business! We will always be here to support you in all of your web needs!
Step #7: Take The Time To Promote Your Business
It is so important to
promote your business website! SEO alone is just simply not enough to make your
website a true success! Many people think that because they have a
website and great products as soon as they go "live" on the web and are open for business
that people will just automatically come... even flock to their website and start buying! This is not at
all what happens. To be completely honest, it takes time and alot of work to build a business
and your customer base! After you have created your products, created a beautiful website, completed
the organic SEO
needed... you then have to wait for the search engines to rank you! This could take from 1 day to 3
months depending on how the search engines want to do their job. While you are waiting to be indexed
by the search engines and especially after you have been indexed... you will need to spend alot of
time spreading the word about your business and the products you offer! It can take anywhere from 6
months to 2 years to start seeing regular sales depending on what you offer, how competitive your
niche is, and the customer demand for what you offer! SEO is essential to every business, but
it's not the only thing a business owner should rely on!
We all need to be realistic when it comes to having a business and what it really entails.
Success is out there... you just have to take the time and do the work needed to be able
to reach up and grasp it!

website property! Period! We will happily maintain your website for you, but
your domain name and website is all yours! |
|
Q: I purchased one of your newsletter design templates, but how do I use it?
A: Using our simple 6 step newsletter design templates is super easy! This is what you do...
1.) Look at the email that contains the newsletter template I sent you... Click forward. (Forward it because hitting reply will put funky lines in the email body that you don’t want there and forwarding keeps all lines out.)
2.) Once you click forward.... you will have an open version of the template. PLEASE do not touch anything above the top line or below the bottom line across the newsletter as those area’s could be messed up.
3.) Currently your title is “Grand Opening”... so you will need to type the title of what you want to talk about in the "Grand Opening" title. In other future newsletter emails you will want to type another title.
4.) Place your text! Simply click in the text field where it says “please fill in this area.” You will want to write whatever you want to write there. Fonts and colors have already been set. Just start writing.
5.) If you need additional titles and text..... just copy what’s there, click enter and paste..... and then fill in the title area with a new title and replace the text with the new text. It's that simple!
6.) Now you are ready to send your newsletter! Your own email address should go into the "TO:" section. All of your contacts/newsletter subscriber's email addresses should be placed in the "BCC:" section as it is YOUR responsibility to safe guard your contacts email addresses. "BCC" keeps your contacts safe so that no one can take any of your contacts emails addresses and use it for their own purposes. Always "BCC"! Never put your contacts email addresses in the "TO:" or "CC:" sections!
{ **Please Note** } If your newsletter design template gets messed up... please do not worry!
We always have the original template so we can email it to you again. |
|
Q: My business is small & our products are not sold online, do I still need a website?
A: Yes, if you have a business, no matter if it's online or offline, you should have a
website. Period. No question. Without a doubt! Not only do you need a website... but you
have to have a professional looking website if you want to be taken seriously. Since many
consumers now search for information online prior to making a purchase at an offline store,
your website may be the first chance you have at making a really good first impression on
a potential buyer. If your website looks like it was designed by someone without experience,
your chance at making a good first impression will be lost! |
|
Q: Should I choose a site builder or have a website created for me by a webmaster?
A: You will need to decide which is going to work best for you and what you want for
your business. Having a site builder and having a website created specifically for
you are two very different experiences. Alot of business owners think about going
the site builder route because most people don't know where to go to get a website
created specifically for them or they don't want to spend the money that it
costs to get a website created for them. Many want to go the free or low
budget route but either one of those avenues are not going to look professional
enough to allow a business to go forward and grow... so it often becomes a
loss right from the start. A website is a gateway to all of the people you
have not yet met... so you need to see a website as a very important business
investment!
A LOT of people have trouble starting a business with a site builder. Most people
who have site builders... do not own their site builders. They typically rent the site
builder each month. If this is the case, they don't own their website. The person (company)
they rent from owns it. Most web companies do not support you after a site builder purchase
has been made. Often, the web companies don't even take the time to really teach their
users how to work the site builder! Too many people get left to struggle with site
builders ALONE. With site builders you have to do everything yourself. You have
to have the knowledge or skills to be able to add your own pages, directories, shopping
cart buttons, products, etc. You name it... you have to do it yourself. Site builders
are also very limiting in everything they offer. You can't pick which kind of menu you
will have. You can't add features that are not provided by the site builder! Unfortunately,
because site builders are very limiting... they cause a huge amount of unnecessary
frustration and stress for their users (business owners).
Many of our clients tried the site builders and decided that it wasn't for them! They
decided it was more convenient and less stressful to have a webmaster create a website
for them. When you have a website created for you by your webmaster... none of the
above site builder issues happen. The web world becomes your oyster and your choices and
options become almost endless! You must have a webmaster that is experienced and is able
to give you all the things you might want for your business! You as the owner of the
website... get the say in how the website is created, designed, & structured!
Everything! You tell the developer what they want and the webmaster gets it done...
without you having to deal with the stress of struggling with your site builder to
get these things accomplished. You give the webmaster the information you want to add
to the site and they do it for you. You then get to concentrate on your networking,
selling your products, getting your business name out there without having to worry
about the website. Webmasters are fairly inexpensive and are very valuable. It is
also very important that you find a webmaster that knows SEO and who can get you
up in the search engines. SEO is very important and if you don't get your website
into the search engines... you will be missing out on a lot of traffic and business
that you could be getting.
Many website companies will offer to buy your domain (URL) for you and they often offer
domain, site builder, & hosting package combos as well! THIS IS A TRAP that alot of
business owners fall into! Do NOT allow this because that means they own your domain
name and your website and you don't! Down the road, if you chose to leave them and
want to take your website and domain with you... you can't! You will be forced to
stay with them or you will have to start all over! After spending alot of time
building your business... this could be a huge blow to you! You don't want to have
to go through this in the future so please be careful!!! You have to protect yourself...
because not everyone is going to be honest with you!! You always want to make
sure that you are the owner of all of your business property!
If you would like to know more about the differences between having a webmaster and a
site builder, please read my article "Old Fashioned Webmaster Coding vs Do It Yourself Site Builders". |

Q: Can Consultants with Corporate Websites Promote Their Sites Too?
A: Whether you can participate in the ALL of the web forms of promotional tips
depends solely on which kind of website you have. Please read my article,
"Ways Consultants With Corporate Websites Can Promote Too"
to find out more! |
|
Q: Are the forms you create secure? If so, how are they secured?
A: Yes, the forms we create a VERY secure! We add triple securityin each
and every one of our forms.
1st - Our form scripts double check and verifies to make sure all *required fields are
filled in.
2nd - Each script has a set of php required checks to be sure that select *required
fields are filled in. This is a security measure we added in case java is ever turned
off in the browsers by spammers (it’s possible).
3rd - We add our personally created (copyrighted) “captcha like” system where your form
can not be submitted unless they fill in the field requiring the captcha image wording.
You can’t get past our “captcha” system. There is no way to trick the script and just
type in anything you want. The captcha script knows what the letters are in that image
and if you don’t type those letters in the script will keep asking for a valid code.
No spam bot can send any of our forms. None. They simply aren’t allowed. It takes a
“live person” to actually fill in all of the *required fields... and then click send to
actually activate any form we create.
None of the online forms that many others use on their website have this kind of security. |
|
Q: What's LinkedIn? Should I use that for my business?
A: YES! Every business should have a LinkedIn account! LinkedIn is a great way to
establish validity in your business. Many companies will now 'check you out' on
Facebook and LinkedIn before agreeing to do business with you. Wouldn't we all
love to get our products noticed by national retailers? LinkedIn is a great way
to find that company and reach out to them. There is also an opportunity to post
references for people you have worked with and vice versa. It's an important
promotional tool for your business.

is created just for you with your specific wants & needs in mind! I will do everything I can to
take all of your website wants and needs and put them all together to make your dream
website a reality! I believe that you deserve to have your own unique design rather
then have the same old design as everyone else. I believe you deserve a design that

|
Q: Can I offer discount coupon codes on my website?
A: Yes! Offering discount coupon codes to your customers is a great way to not only
get a new customer to come and purchase... but also to get previous customers to
come back and purchase from you! Offering a discount coupon code is a GREAT
promotional tool for your business! I recommend anyone that has an ecommerce
website (product selling website) offer discount coupon codes! It's
a VERY enticing & SAVVY way to get people to purchase from your site! |
|
Q: Will you work on my website even though I use a site builder?
A: I don't currently work on websites already created with site builders. I don't
use site builders. I design and code by hand to create all of the design templates,
menus, and layouts that you see on My Colorful Treasures Web Design & Development.
I am a website developer which means I create my client's websites from scratch.
I guess you can call me a human site builder! lol! : ) There are alot of issues
with site builders but I won't go into what they are. If you are interested in
knowing what the issues are, please refer to my article titled,
"Old Fashioned Coding vs. Site Builders".
If you would like us to custom designed website and maintain it for you... please
contact us! |
|
Q: What are the "links" and "link to us" pages used for?
A: Link and link to us pages are included in our packages because they are VERY
important pages to have. That is why we don't offer for you to trade them for a
product page or informational page.
Exchanging links is an important part of SEO. Search engine spiders look for
link popularity
(lots of link exchanges) on you website so it's going to be
important for you to participate in link exchanges.
Your link exchanges will go on your links page! Having a links page is a GREAT
way to keep all links in one easy to find organized place which will make it
easy for search engines to find!
Your link to us page will have an advertising banner and square button that we will
create for you as well as boxes with the link exchange coding in them! We offer this
page for our clients because most of them do not know any coding. The link to us
page makes it easy for you the client... and those who want to exchange links with
you because all they have to do is go to your link to us page... copy the coding
provided for them... and then paste that code in their websites. It's as easy as
that. |
|
Q: I am a Scentsy Consultant. Does Scentsy need to approve my new website?
A: Yes, once your website creation is complete... Scentsy Consultants are required by
Scentsy to register their website for approval (www.scentsyonline.com/webregister).
When you receive your approval graphic...... I will place it on your website for you for free. : ) |
|
Q: I have seen websites with blogs in them! Is this something I should have?
A: No! A blog is something you definitely do not want integrated into your website.
Websites naturally carry more weight in the search engines then blogs do. Because
websites carry a heavier weight in the search engines integrating a blog into
your website would basically cause the search engines to demote your website or
rank you lower. I don't integrate blogs with the websites I create for my clients
for that reason! Please don't get me wrong... blogs are terrific! I love mine,
but I would never... make it part of my website. |
|
Q: Should I list my small business in Google Maps/Local Business Center?
A: Yes! Google Maps/Local Business Center
is something every business owner should check into! It’s a good way to get extra
business promotion through the Google search engine system! It’s easy.... it’s
good for your business.... you can do it for yourself... and best of all... it’s

through Google Maps/Local Business Center for a price... but it’s something
YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF. It’s as easy as filling out a form and clicking
submit. It’s that easy! No one should get paid for something so simple... that
Google offers for free. DO IT FOR YOU!

have to be willing to put your house number, street address, city, state, and
phone number into the free business listing. I mention this because many people

|
Q: I see so many businesses have blogs! Should I have a blog for my business too?
A: Yes! Blogs are fabulous promotional tools! You can talk about your latest specials,
new products, discounts, contests, sales, & so much more! I could keep naming but I think
you get my point!
Blogs are a terrific way to get your personality out into the world so that people see
you for the person YOU ARE rather then a tight upper lipped stiff shirt that most
quite large companies seem like. I love my blog! There are tons of things you can do with
a blog! Blogs are a great extra for any business! |
|
Q: Which blog type is better... blogger or word press? What's the differences?
A: Blogger - Blogger is FREE and the best blog system available
because it's the easiest for someone new at blogging to use! With blogger
you can pick from any one of their templates or you can have a custom design
created for you! You can have a customized blog design and blogger will still
remain to be FREE!
Wordpress - Wordpress is FREE to start as well, but they are the
most difficult to learn and navigate through for beginners. With wordpress you
have NO CHOICE but to pick one of their templates or the wordpress blog
will NO LONGER be FREE because if you want a custom design template created for
your wordpress blog you will have to purchase a domain and hosting (that supports
Wordpress)!!!
Custom Blogger Design ='s FREE
Custom Wordpress Design ='s $9.99 + $45 (maybe more) per year for domain and hosting
Clearly blogger is the better choice especially when you are
talking about ease of use for beginners and blogger ALWAYS remains free no
matter if you use one of their templates or have a custom design created.
If you want to create a blog through blogger... here is the link:

Q: How do I choose the best domain name for my business?
A: Choosing a domain name is one of the first and most important steps when creating an
online business website. Here are some tips and guidelines for choosing the best domain
name for your business...
Choose the shortest domain possible. Short domain names are easier to remember
and easier to type. Our domain (My Colorful Treasures Web Design) is rather long, and
ideally it would be much shorter; however, I had a jewelry business before web design
and I spent years branding myself to our biz name... so I choose to keep it.
If the domain name you want is taken, sometimes you just have to make do. Do your
best to keep your potential customer in mind and make it as easy for them as possible
to get to your website.
Avoid choosing a domain name that has a hyphen within it. Let's face it...
people find having to type hyphens to be extremely annoying. Also, since most
domains do not have hyphens, it can be confusing. Most people won’t think
to include a hyphen when they’re typing, so avoid them if you can.
Use keywords in your domain name, if possible. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT! Making
sure that you add your keywords into your domain name... gives you a better chance
of being found in the search engines for the products you offer. Being found in
the search engines for the name of your business, city and state of your business,
and some of the products you offer is the ultimate goal... right? Use keywords!
Choosing a domain name with the .com ending. The .com ending is generally the most
desired and the most commonly used domain form. But if the .com domain you want is
not available, avoid choosing a variant of that domain like .net or .biz etc. Most
people will type .com when searching for a website, which means you are going to
probably lose traffic to the .com version of your desired domain, and that’s not
something you want to do. Another risk is that the owner of the .com domain has
most likely trademarked their domain which means you are risking legal consequences
by using that domain, regardless of it's ending. You also then risking chance of
having to close your website that you have built from ground up... simply because
the owner of the .com version of your domain trademarked their domain.
Protect your domain identity by purchasing multiple versions of it. This is
something I tell all of my clients about! A lot of website owners (including myself)
purchase the .com of their domain and they also purchase the .net, .biz, .info, .org,
etc, as a means of protecting their domain identity. If you can afford to do this...
I recommend it as it helps prevent other people from using a similar domain to offer
similar content. |
|
Q: Does clicking on my website in search engines hurt my ranking?
A: No, it doesn't hurt... it actually helps it! Click on your site. Have
friends/family do this same search and ask them to click on your site. It only takes
a minute so do it as often as you can. That tells Google “I found what I want” and if
we make Google think several people found what they wanted, then your site will keep
coming up! And, it will help your site come up under the other main search tags
designed for your site too. |
|
Q: How will my website be customized for me?
A: Every part of your website will be custom created for you by us with your
specific needs & wants in mind! We will custom design your website graphics,
your header/logo, your menu, & your design template structure/layout for you!
You have the freedom to choose your own fonts, color scheme, layout, menu
style, background, etc! We aim very high to please our clients! |
|
Q: How long does it take to get a website up & running?
A: Our website creation time is estimated at 2 - 4 weeks depending on how
quickly the information needed to create the website is provided to us and our work load.
Please understand turnaround times are just estimates. Timing will depend
on your communication, our workload, how soon you provide the required
information that we need, and the number of revisions you request for your
design. Sometimes projects are completed sooner... sometimes it's later when
our client's don't provide us the information we need and we are left to
wait. We often have several client sites we are working on all at one time
which includes new client custom creations! Please be assured, we split our
time fairly so that we can provide all of our clients quality dependable
services! Your happiness and satisfaction is very important to us!
Due to the high demand of our services we have to complete
work for all of our clients on a first come first serve basis. Please understand
that we must spread out our time fairly between ALL of our clients equally. |
|
Q: Once my website has been created, will you maintain it for me?
A: We not only will create the website for you, but we will also maintain your website
for you as well! After your website is completed, we charge $20 per hour for any
changes or maintenance to the website. Changes or maintenance includes, but
is not limited to adding a category link to a page, page content, store name
or slogan changes, a page or form addition,
graphic changes, image sizing, adding or changing a product description,
product price, or picture,
Organic SEO changes needed, etc. If you don't request us to
make changes to your website, then you will not be charged
for us to maintain your website for you!
Our Motto - There is no minimum and if it takes more time to record it for
billing than it does to make the revision, we just don't bother billing it! |
|
Q: Do you offer flash designed websites?
A: We offer flash graphics for those clients who want them; however, we ABSOLUTELY DO NOT
offer flash designed websites and we DO NOT recommend them either! Flash designed
websites may look really cool & super fancy, but in all honesty it truly isn't. It's
horrible for
Organic SEO (search engine optimation) and it's annoying to those who do not have
high speed internet! Please keep in mind that there are still millions of people who
still use dial-up and Flash designed websites can literally take HOURS to load for
dial-up users. Please remember... you are creating your website for potential
clients - not for yourself. Having flash graphics is perfectly fine, but having
a flash website will only delay your customer from browsing your website which will
ultimately result in less customers & less sales! |

Q: What is the difference between static and animated graphics?
A: A static graphic is a non-moving graphic which means that it does not flash and you can
place only a small amount of text or graphics on it. An animated graphic is a flashing or
blinking graphic that you can place a large amount of information on it, but please
remember the more information you add to your animated graphic the longer it
will take to load... so be careful not to over load your animated graphic! |
|
Q: Do you offer payment plans?
A: Yes, we offer payment plans to those who can not afford the entire cost of a website
package upfront! You would need to pay 50% down and then pay payments until the
remaining balance is paid in full! The final payment is expected before the website
can go "LIVE". Please contact us to make arrangements! |
|
Q: Can I add additional pages or forms later?
A: Yes, you are always welcome to add to your website anytime you like. You can
add additional product selling pages or informational pages at our hourly
maintenance rate of $20.
If you would like to add a form (where a user can fill in their information & it
is sent directly to you) added to your website, the cost is $25 per form. Please
understand these are no ordinary plain forms. We do not get free forms and then
place them on your website. We actually custom create all forms with our own two
hands. These are custom created forms run by PHP custom created scripts... all
embedded in a html page.
These are very technical scripts that take time to create and place. All forms
come with a security script that is similar to captcha that we created specially
for our clients that will not allow spam bots to enter anything into the fields
of the form and send it to you. ***Please note that this form price does not
include placing it on your website. Placing a form on a website is charged at
my hourly maintainence rate of $20. |
|
Q: I have a complicated site and I used more time than my base package price allows.
A: If the amount of work involved on any service you purchase exceeds the
specified amount of time allotted on your design package due to the complexity
of the website or multiple requests for changes to the graphics or site, any
extra time will be billed to you at our hourly maintenance rate of $20! We
reserve the right to say when you have exhausted our services in which you
paid for, so please stay within reason. |
|
Q: How will you bill me for revisions to my website?
A: Once the requested maintenance to your website has been completed, we will
invoice you for our time & services through PayPal. If a change to your
website takes 5 minutes, that is exactly what you'll get charged.
All clients are required to pay for any maintenance to their sites upon receiving
an invoice for the completed requested revisions. If payment for the requested
revisions is not received within two weeks from the date of the invoice, we reserve
the right to shut down the site for non-payment. Once a site is shut down,
the owner will be required to pay a $50 shut down fee plus the over due
invoiced payment amount in order to get their site re-instated. |
|
Q: What's the cost to add link exchanges or top 100 banners to my website?
A: Adding other business's or top 100 banners or links = $2.50 per link.
Removing other business's or top 100 banners or links = FREE. |
|
Q: How do I get content added to my website pages?
A: Please note that we DO NOT supply any website page content for you. You must
supply all of the content that you have on your pages! A website is a side entity of
who you are! It's very important for your website pages to have your views and
personality in them! Your website is a gateway to all of the people you
have not yet met! It would be unethical for us to supply your website page
content because we would be placing our views & personality into your
pages! We go by a very strong code of ethics!! Do
not worry, if you get stuck or do not know what to do, we will be
here to help you through the entire website creation process! |

Pay conveniently by credit card, debit card or echeck through PayPal... no PayPal
