1. "What should I have on my web site?"
This is the beauty of having a web site!! Anything you ever dreamed of that might
have been too costly to print, or any printed pieces you are currently using to
promote your business can go online. Even if it's actual product information sheets, catalogs, instructions manuals, booklets, replacement parts diagrams, ads, request forms...anything you can think of. The best part is you can use all the color you want without added expense, there's no mailing costs, no lead time and whatever you can think of, can go on your site easily and quickly. BACK
2. "Should I have my on domain name or go online with another site?"
If you go online with your own domain,the address will be "www.yourname.com". Feel free to contact us at Sunrise Marketing so we can discuss which option is best for your company. BACK
3. "How would a small local company benefit from having a web site?"
Many times, it is the small businesses which benefit the most from a web presence
because it is the small business that has limited staff, and only a certain amount
of hours and only so much energy. By being online, you can sell online, service
clients, offer support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Your customers can contact you whenever it's convenient for them. Your customers benefit, too because you can give them a more detailed answer to their questions that you normally might not have had the time to do personally. You're not limited to your staff's time and energy. You can build and maintain customers worldwide - not only in your own territory. The possibilities are truly endless! BACK
4. "Does it cost a lot of money for a really good web site?"
There are many packages available in several different price ranges. Our planning strategies will help organize your information into an effective web site suited to meet your needs and your budget. Please see our pricing section. BACK
5. "We're just starting out, so why should we register our domain name"
Hundreds of new web site names are being registered every day making
many company names unavailable. Your URL (Universal Resource Locator) will become your global trademark. For $25 per year, you can own it permanently (as long as you registered yearly). By having your company name or something connected with it, your customer will be able to find you easily. Register your
name today! BACK
6. "How long will it take our web site to be up and running?"
Since no two sites are the same, the time frame can vary. We usually get working on your site within a few days. The average small to medium site takes a week or two for our designers and developers to create and can be up and running soon thereafter. BACK
7. "Is there a way to know who's visiting our site?"
Our sites can include feedback forms and a guest counters. You can ask guests to complete your form through various text links through out your site. In fact, while we're on the subject, why don't you take a minute and let us know you stopped by Sunrise Marketing when you visit us at www.sunrise-marketing.com. BACK
8. "Will our site be boring if we don't have a lot of photos or graphics?"
Don't forget, the primary reason people "surf the Net" is still for information. If your site is filled with fresh, useful information, it will likely become a favorite. Your logo and our professionally innovative designs will still create a strong company image.

9. "With thousands of web sites out there, how will people find ours?"
Promoting your site after your site is up and running is key. It is our job to make sure we register your site through various search engines. We are constantly striving to find new ways to promote our client's sites utilizing key words and concept sentences which literally drives traffic to your site. In addition, we recommend you advertise your URL (domain name) on all your printed marketing materials and all advertising media. BACK
10. "As our business grows, can we add onto our site?"
There are endless possibilities for marketing on the Internet. You'll realize the benefits in no time and you may want to expand your horizons to add such options as online ordering, estimating, etc. We look forward to helping you grow! BACK
11. "Can we offer Specials, Discounts and/or Coupons through our site?"
Offering "Specials" has proven to be one of the best ways to keep visitors coming back to your site. In accordance with our agreement, we will update and customize any "Offers" you wish to post. It is this kind of promotion which creates excitement and traffic for your business as well as your site. BACK
12. "How often will our site be updated?"
Our Maintenance Programs offer a very affordable way to keep your site fresh. We do not create your site and dessert you. We'll provide any updates as the need arises. All of our sites have a webmaster contact. BACK
13. "Is it okay to have lots of graphics on our web site?"
We encourage photos and graphics because it's an excellent way to create a professional image for your company. We can either create new graphics or utilize your existing graphics and photos. Our designers will increase the web site's appeal and further its purpose. BACK
14. "We like to sell products on our site, so how would people pay?"
This is better known as e-commerce. At a minimum, you would need to set up a merchant account, a shopping cart and a secure web server. The merchant account allows you to accept credit cards. The shopping cart, of course, allows for online transactions. And the secure web server protects the information that is transferred over the internet. Our designers can help you with these and other e-commerce options. BACK
15. "We can't come up for air as it is... how will we be able to come up with all the information needed to create our web site?"
Realizing how busy business people are, we have developed a quick and easy to follow written plan which will help you gather material you currently have on file. It is this material that will help us create an informative and effective web site reflecting your company's image. BACK
