Website Design

Yes we can build your website. But before you go out and hire someone to get you on-line ask yourself a few questions:

  • Do I really need a website? The internet is a wonderful tool but it has limitations. It is an excellent source for information but is lacking as a sales medium. If you want an information site or are in the service industry then a website could benefit you a great deal. If your intent is to sell over the internet then you need to carefully consider your product and chance of success.

  • How much do I want to pay? The cost of having your own website or webpage depends on a many things. Like anything else, you will need to shop around for the best price. Consider the overall package: up-front contract fees, design fees, hosting fees, service fees, merchant terminal fees and maintenance fees. What may appear to be a great deal on the surface may end up costing you a great deal of money.

  • Do I like their style? Designers want to impress you with their "wiz-bang" features and mesmerizing graphics. Far too often these features and graphics overpower the site and take away from its effectiveness. A dash of salt adds flavor. A pound of salt ruins it.

  • How is their Customer Service? If you think a company based in Los Angeles or New York is going to give you on-one-on attention you are probably wrong. If you have to deal with the designer via email or phone, it probably won't be easy or effective. If the customer service line is a 1-800 number with an answering system then you are just one in the crowd.

    Because of our workload, a limited number of oldtownyucca sites will be built as maintenance time can be substantial. We welcome new requests but reserve the right to refuse our services for any reason. If we won't have the time to give your site the attention it deserves then we won't waste your time or money.

    Banner Advertising

    The above scrolling banner, which runs on each page on this site, is available for only $5.00 per month. There is no design fee and your business card and/or company logo is all that is required to get started. Once the banner is designed, and you approve of it, you will be billed $15.00 for a 3-month advertising run.
