How much will my web site cost?
Partnering with Boasberg-Carlton means you know the importance of a well developed web site and the value it can bring to your company. We believe that each project must be approached differently as each company will benefit from a different set of functionality and web applications. Therefore, there is not a set price and it will vary from company to company. Boasberg-Carlton believes very strongly that a client should be in on the decision making process and we will not suggest or try to persuade you to take on features that will not be beneficial to your company. Contact Us for a consultation on creating a new web site, or updating an existing online presence that you may already have.
Do I need to hire a neighborhood web design company?
The great thing about the internet is that it has made the entire world "local". At Boasberg-Carlton we work with companies of all sizes in Kansas City and the surrounding area, but we are also excited to work with companies outside of the region. Web sites can be posted in "beta" form meaning that an incomplete site can be seen online to test features and development as it happens without actually posting the site where anyone would be looking for it. This means that you can see what's happening with your project almost instantaneously from anywhere with internet access much faster than if you were in Kansas City and decided to drive to our office. When you choose to partner with us, we are available to your team through phone, chat, or video conference if needed to keep you satisfied that your project is progressing nicely.
How long does it take to have my web site designed?
Much like web site cost, this question is subjective depending on what functionality you need. We are not a web development company that will rush your site out the door in an unsafe manner. Extensive early planning eliminates loopholes in web design which can come back to be dangerous and expensive later on. At Boasberg-Carlton we realize that your web site reflects not only on you but on us as well. If you're looking for a "quick and dirty" web presence, we are not your company. If you're looking to partner with a web design company that cares about how well your site is constructed and how easy it is for search engines to find you, we're your firm and we like you. Give us a ring at [816] 222.4584.
Do you offer web site and e-mail hosting and how easy is it to switch to your hosting service?
At Boasberg-Carlton, we offer reliable Web Site and E-Mail Hosting at an affordable price. When you host your web site or e-mail with Boasberg-Carlton, you receive a toll free number that you can call 24/7 to help you through any questions that you may have including setting up your e-mail to work in proprietary programs (Thunderbird, Outlook, OSX Mail, etc.). Please visit our Capabilities section to learn more about hosting your web site or e-mail with Boasberg-Carlton.
If I hire you to develop my web site, do I have to host it with you also?
While we prefer that you host your web site and e-mail with us, it is by no means required. We are control freaks when it comes to making sure your site is up and running so you don’t miss customers due to down time. However, we are happy to develop your web site and help you set it up on alternative hosting. Not all hosting options offer the broad range of support for various web applications that you get with Boasberg-Carlton, so your choice of hosting providers is something that should be determined early on. It will affect how your site will be best developed. Read more about our Web Site and E-Mail Hosting options and what advantages you receive by choosing to host with Boasberg-Carlton.
Do you offer site maintenance and how does it work?
At Boasberg-Carlton we stand behind each of our projects and are happy to provide site maintenance to each of our clients. From simple text and picture updates to load balancing traffic and optimizing eCommerce solutions we are available to keep your site running at optimal speed and performance for whatever you need.
Do you offer discounts to specific organizations?
Boasberg-Carlton is proud to offer discounts to schools and non-profit organizations. As an added bonus, we have a consultant on staff that has worked with successful non-profit organizations for over 20 years.
What is search engine optimization, and how does it benefit me?
Search engine optimization is the process of developing a web site properly and cleanly. This allows search engines to catalog your content and increase your relevancy to potential customers searching for your product or service. Boasberg-Carlton offers search engine optimization as a feature of each site that we develop as well as the opportunity to re-develop existing sites through [SEO] techniques. Making your web site search engine compatible is one of the most important features that a good web development company can offer. Please visit our Search Engine Optimization page to learn more about how partnering with Boasberg Carlton can increase the number of "clicks" to your site.
Is "developing web site content" as intimidating as it sounds and is it your responsibility or mine?
Developing web site content is easy. Developing good web site content is hard. If you don't deal with web development on a daily basis, how are you suppose to know what you need to say and not say in your text and imagery? Not only do you need to relate what you want your customers to know, but through Search Engine Optimization, you also need to make sure that search engines are reading what you want them to read and increasing your relevancy to customers. Please visit our Media Center to learn more about developing content for your web site and how partnering with Boasberg-Carlton can make the task much less intimidating and more worth the time you need to invest in the process.
