Here are some of the most
frequently asked questions we receive regarding our web design services
and various online resources. If there is a question you want answered
that we currently don't have listed e-mail us and we will add it!
Q. You are known
as the Calgary Web Design Network, does this mean you do work for
Calgary residents only?
A.
No, although our company is
located in Calgary we do work for clients throughout Alberta and
Western Canada, even extending to various parts of the United States.
If you want a website built we can do this for you regardless of
your location provided you have and internet connection and have
access to e-mail.
Q. How much does
a website cost? Do you charge by an hourly rate or a flat fee?
A.
The price of a website will vary based on the size and scope of
the project. To get a basic estimate we recommend filling out our
price
quote form
which is free of charge.
Cost is determined by the number or hours needed to complete a particular
job and is influenced by factors such as how many pages will
your website need and what additional features will your
site require (flash, e-newsletter, shopping cart ect.).
We charge a flat fee only agreed upon in advance by both parties.
Q. Can I update
a website myself as opposed to paying an updating fee or charge
for any changes I want made?
A.
Although we recommend that updates are done by a professional due
to some of the potential problems that can occur we do offer training
on how to update and maintain your website. The amount of training
time necessary will vary with each individual so we charge an hourly
rate for this service.
Q. I do not want
to change or upgrade my current website I just want someone to help
me update it only. Can you do this?
A.
Yes we are able to easily update other people's websites as well
as the ones we create ourselves and offer the same rates we do to
our regular clients.
Q. Do you offer
payment plans for those with a limited budget or who would just
rather pay this way?
A.
Yes the Calgary Web Design Network has several payment plan options
available so you can choose which method is most comfortable for
you. Our prices are designed to keep all types of businesses in
mind including small or single-owned companies.
Q. Is there fee
necessary to maintain my website after it is completed and I have
paid in full?
A.
Keeping a website online requires
paying an annual domain name fee for your site name (ex.www.mybusiness.com)
along with an additional fee to host your website online typically
paid monthly. A domain name usually costs about $20-30 per
year based on your service provider and hosting can be
attained for as little as $5 per month.
Q.
What do you offer in terms of quality assurance so I know my website
will be completed on time and to the standard I expect.
A.
Before any web project begins there
is a standard legal form signed by both parties which is done for
the protection of both us and the client. This form includes all
important info regarding completion dates, copyright issues, payment
schedules and more.
Q.
I like your website, is it okay if I link to it? Do I need permission
first?
A.
Yes please feel free to link to our
website as many times as you wish. We prefer that any link to our
page has our company name "calgary web design network"
included within the actual link as opposed to a link that merely
says "click here" or "visit now". You do not
need our permission to link to our website but ir order to keep
track of all our website users we would appreciate the gesture.
Q. Are the photos
on your website free even for commercial usage or professional purposes?
A.
Yes our photos can be used for any purpose whether it be recreational
or commercial use. If you are planning to use one of our photos
for professional purposes however please be aware that by using
our images you are accepting any and all legal obligations that
may occur. Since a great number of our photos are submitted by our
website users we cannot 100% verify their origin and therefore assume
no legal responsibility. All of our photos SHOULD be safe
to use for commercial purposes but it is up to you to find out for
certain.
Q. Where do your
free stock photos and images come from?
A.
Our photos are sent in or submitted by the users of this website
along with various freelance photographers in the Alberta area.
Some of our photos are also taken by members of the Calgary Web
Design Network staff.
Free Arcade & Video Games
Q. Where do your
games come from and are they legal to use?
A.
Yes, these games are considered freeware or shareware meaning that
they are free for all public use provided they are not sold or distributed
with the intent of making money. These games can be found through
hundreds of different sources throughout the Internet, we simply
provide a directory of how you can find the best games quickly and
without charge.
Q. Is there a limit
to the amount of games I can download per day. Are any of these
games trial versions or games with an expiry date?
A.
No there is no limit, all of the games featured on this website
are FULL versions as opposed to trial versions and have no expiration
period. Play these games as much as you wish for as long as you
wish!
