FAQ

Where are you based?

New York City, USA (that's GMT-5).

What do you mean by 'web consultant'?

It means that after examining your current web presence and listening to your goals I will give you a custom recommendation, advise you all along and explain the reasons behind each suggestion. At the end of the process you will have the most powerful online marketing tool possible and the skills to maintain it yourself.

Can I have auto-playing music on my website?

No, you can't. But you should have big images, dead-easy navigation and a clutter-free design.

Any good with PhotoShelter?

Certified PhotoShelter ConsultantI am a Certified PhotoShelter Consultant.

Will I be able to edit my slideshows myself?

Absolutely. All my websites include a very user-friendly slideshow admin tool.

Are these all-Flash websites?

No. When Flash is used (for good looks) it is embedded in html/css pages. SEO preserved.

So, what about SEO?

My websites are search engine optimized (code & content) in accordance with best practice methods.

Will my site be visible on the iPhone and iPad?

Yes. And your images will look fantastic thanks to the best smartphone/iPad image display tool available.

Do you offer hosting?

No. I don't want to get between you and your website. And I would hate to charge you for something you can so easily take care of yourself.

Where is your price list?

My rates depend on the amount of work each project requires. I charge by the project, not by the hour. And I aim to compete primarily on quality and availability. Hiring me gets you expertise, personal attention, honest advice and detailed explanations. Post-delivery tweaks and upgrades are also included.

What's your PhotoShelter discount code?

DA6BR5BT44 will get you up to $30 off new accounts. No strings attached.
