How long will it take for my website to be online?

If you have a clear idea of your needs and keep the scope towards the simple side, we can have your website up within a week. Of course this varies greatly from project to project. We can give you a better estimate once we gather your requirements.

Do you use the latest standards?

Our preferred method of programming uses the latest languages that will work on 95% of the browsers used today. We can accommodate clients that have needs for older web standards. Our most common languages utilized are XHTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, and MySQL.

Who owns the website once PLT creates it?

You own your website. Point Loma Technology simply gives the professional knowledge you need to design, code, and implement the project.

Will I have my log-in information for updating my website?

Absolutely.

Do you require a month-to-month contract?

No. You can choose to stop our services at any time with no advance notice.

I just need someone to design my initial website and think I can do updates myself. Would your design support this?

We would be happy to create a design that allows you to easily update it. We build the website to your specifications and can make an effort to make the code simpler and easier to update. We can also train you to do simple updates. Of course we are always there to help you get over any future obstacales on an as-needed basis.

I already have a website, but feel that it doesn’t meet our needs. Can Point Loma Technology re-design our site?

This is a common request. With a short consultation and a few hours of analysis, we can provide a report with recommendations for your re-design.

I got a very low quote from another company to do a web page. How can they do it so cheap?

As with most things in life, the value you get is likely to match what you pay for. Sometimes buying cheap means buying twice. There are companies out there exclusively using templates and/or overseas workers. A bad website is sometimes worse than no website at all because the impression you leave customers is negative and cheap. I'm sure most people would be worried about an electrician who charged rates at 80% less than the industry standard. The same holds true here. Enough said.

I am doing my own website. Can you help me get through a few roadblocks?

We can offer consultations. Sometimes just a few hours of professional help is all someone needs to get over a hurdle.

What is SEO and do you offer it?

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. This is the process of designing and coding your website in order to maximize results on the search engines' searches (Google, Yahoo, Ask!, etc...). Point Loma Technology's designs are made with SEO as an integral part of the code.
