F.A.Q.
Here are some of the common questions asked by our new clients.
We are based in Canada and you operate out of Florida, is that going to
be an issue?
Location does not matter in web design but a good firm does matter to your
business. This is the sole reason why clients from other countries like Nigeria
and India have chosen to do business with us. You can either email, call, fax or
post mail the information and we will design your web pages accordingly.
The samples you have are very good. Unfortunately I need a website that is
similar to one of my competitors website ? Can you design something similar ?
Will that be more expensive ?
Sure, we can design your website the way you want it. The cost structure will
remain the same. Our pricing is based on the number of pages you get designed
and our rates are the same for custom or template web designs.
Can we meet you in person before we begin our web design ?
Yes. We generally recommend clients to call us and fix an appointment. At this
moment we do not travel outside Florida.
We got a quote from another web design firm that is 100$ less than
AmeriFocus with $25/month hosting. How do you compare against your competitors?
Hosting refers to the server on which your web pages will reside. AmeriFocus
offers free hosting for life with no strings attached. Here is a comparison
chart. In fact we are the only web design firm that offers free hosting.

The free hosting has got me excited about the web design project ? How can
you offer free hosting ?
Since we do a lot of web site designing, we can afford to offer hosting as a
free service. Click here to learn more (opens in new window).
We were told to pay a setup cost for web design ? What is a setup cost ?
Many web design companies charge clients with setup costs to initially reserve a
domain and create email addresses. With AmeriFocus you are assured of having no
setup costs.
What is my monthly maintenance fee going to be ?
Unlike other web design firms, we do not have any monthly recurring maintenance
fee. You pay only when you need enhancements to be done on your site.
What kind of contract documents do I sign with AmeriFocus ?
For most of the web design projects, we do not have the customer sign any
contract. If you decide not to choose us, we will be sorry to miss you as our
client but make sure you read the contract pages if you are told to sign the
contract documents with other web design firms.
We do not like out web design firm. However our contract states that we
are bound to them for a year. Can you help us ?
You should have read the contract before signing. Many firms stick setup fees,
monthly maintenance charges and contract length in the contract document. Its a
painful process to go over the contract documents. Believe it or not some firms
will have you sign 8 or 10 pages of contract documents.
There is a better alternative ... choose AmeriFocus and you won't have to sign
any contract documents.
I am new to web design. How do I evaluate a web designer before selecting
him ?
Make sure he is certified. Certifications are industry standards that the
designer is capable of delivering a good website.
Make sure you look at all the samples and client websites that were designed.
Don't go with a rookie. Your business will know the difference.
What if I do not like the initial web design ?
This happens very often with other web design companies but not with AmeriFocus.
You choose your own sample. If you do not like the sample give us some
description on how you want your website to be. If you are not happy with the
design, we will provide you with as many revisions as it takes. With all other
web design firms you are restricted to two revisions at most. At AmeriFocus you
are free to suggest revisions for one full month. Our clients do appreciate the
initial month of free revisions so they can forward their new site to friends /
families and get their inputs.
I got a quote from a web design firm and they wanted us to pay half the
fees upfront? What are your initial starter fees?
All we ask is a $99 to get started. At AmeriFocus we believe in "client
satisfaction" so we design your website before reaching for your pockets.
How long will it take to design our website?
An average small website is between 5 to 15 pages. That takes about a couple of
weeks to design.
I have my own domain and I need to host my website with AmeriFocus ? Will
I still own the domain after the transfer ?
Yes, you will still own the domain after the transfer. For your peace of mind we
will be more than happy to sign and mail you a document that says that you will
be the owner of the domain after the transfer.
I know some basics of web design. However I want AmeriFocus to design my
website and later I can maintain it. Is that a possibility?
Yes, we can design a website for you and you can maintain it for yourself.
However we recommend you should know web design well enough to maintain your
site. If for some reason you mess up the pages, it will be all the more
difficult for you to get it right. But if you are confident, we are open to the
idea.
I need a copy of my entire website on a CD just in case .. Is that a
possibility ?
..Yes, we can burn you a CD. There will be some administrative expenses
involved. We do recommend clients to keep a copy of web design with them for
backup purposes or if you choose to do business with another web design firm in
future. Till date no client of ours has left us to do business with our
competition.
