FAQ

What is a domain name? How do I get one?
A domain is simply www.whateveryouwant.com. This is your address on the internet where your website or blog will be installed. You must first check and make sure your domain is available before you can buy it. Feel free to check your domain availability now. You cannot get hosting without a domain name, they go hand-in-hand. We can purchase your domain name for you at the same time we are setting up your hosting account.

What is a CMS?
CMS stands for content management system. We typically recommend using a CMS like WordPress or Expression Engine for your website. What this means is that your entire website will be controlled from one interface. From this one admin panel you add and edit pages, easily add links and images, and customize your design, all without having any technical experience of your own. Without a CMS if you wanted to edit just one word on a page this required an HTML editor, a FTP client and a basic understanding of HTML so you could wade through all the code to find the word you want to change. Most people don’t know how to do any of that and would be dependent on their designer to change it for them. A lot of changes like that can add up to paying a lot of extra money.

A CMS gives you full control of your website to save your time and your money.

How do I make a payment online?
Payments made online are done through PayPal. An extra charge will be incurred, so checks are preferred. If time is tight and you need your project files immediately, then visit PayPal https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=marketing_us/send_money and send the payment for services to payment@april-edwards.com.

So how will the whole design process work?
Please see our Design Process page for full details.

Can you still make changes to my site after it’s done?
Yes, but within reason. After we have finished installing your site, you will get a chance to look over everything and list any changes you want to make before it goes live. At this point we cannot make any changes to the layout or imagery because you approved these at the mock up stage. However we have no problem making smaller changes: link and text colors, fonts, alignment, content, etc. We prefer if you look over the site fully and make one big list of changes and send that to us in one email rather than sending us 20 emails with one or two small things. Once you have given final approval and the site goes live, all responsibility transfers to you. If there are any major or minor changes you want to make after final approval you will have to contact your designer, who will add you back into her schedule and charge accordingly.
