Question: How long does the web design process take when working with Thrive Web Designs?
Answer:
From the time you sign the website agreement to the minute your website is launched live is normally 4-6 weeks. This time includes everything from the initial design process, to inputting your content, optimizing for the web, as well as other final touches. Although 4-6 weeks is the norm, we have been known to take a site live from start to finish within 2.5-3 weeks. Another big factor in how long the process takes has to do with the timing of our clients and how soon they can have their content, pictures and other information ready.
Question: Do you build e-commerce websites? What do you recommend if I only have a few products I want to sell?
Answer:
Yes, we do build e-commerce sites. Due to the complexity and other numerous factors that go into an e-commerce website, it is much more affordable to use Paypal for sites that need very few products. Paypal doesn't charge any monthly fee, only a per transaction fee which is affordable.
Question: Do I own the website after it is built? Or does Thrive Web Designs own the rights?
Answer:
After your website is finished and the client has completed payment, the client will have 100% rights and full-ownership of their website. We courteously ask to tag our name on the bottom of your website so people can link back to our website, although this is at the discretion of the client.
Question: Do you use pre-made templates for your websites?
Answer:
The short answer is no. You will find many web design firms offering VERY low prices for their website design because they are selling pre-made template websites. There are quite a few disadvantages of using template layouts especially when dealing with search engines. We guarantee that every single website built is 100% custom-made and tailored to represent your business. We also offer some free basic website optimization when you choose us to build your website.

Question: When is payment due?
Answer:
Website design payments are paid in two installments. A 50% down deposit is required to start work. The remaining 50% is due when our client is 100% satisfied, pending approval of the website. Your website will go live almost immediately after the remaining payment is received.

Question: How important is Search Engine Optimization or "SEO" for my website?
Answer:
The real question to ask yourself is, "How important is it for my website to be seen online?" Unfortunately nowadays, websites are not always built correctly and designed to be optimized, or search-engine ready. Most businesses need their website to generate traffic in order for them to acquire new business. Search Engine Optimization is essential in having your website be searchable by search engines and rank properly. There are many elements that go into SEO, but the main point is getting your website easily found online.
