Who is
Comfort Web Design?
My name is Linda Cook. I have been
designing websites since 1999 and specialize
working with small to medium size business
concerns all across the US.
I work with each client
to design specific graphics and layouts to best
showcase their businesses. But having a
great looking site is only the start of having
an effective website to increase your bottom
line. Once the design is complete I go to
work behind the scenes building out meta tags, google
verifications, site maps, geo maps, links, site
submission to all of the major search engines
and looking for trade links from other sites to
increase your site traffic. I enjoy
the challenge that each new site brings and can handle just about any project you need,
from simply adding one page to an existing site, or completely
starting from scratch. So if you're looking to design a new site
or re-do an old one; I'm here to help, call me. |
Can I maintain the
website myself once it is set up?
You can use the file manager html editor
through your hosting panel or any number of html
editors to edit your pages. I do not
recommend such actions since your website will
be custom designed and most likely contain
scripting that requires you know about html
computer language to effect changes correctly.
95% of my clients find my maintenance fees
extremely reason and your updates are done
quickly.
How long does it take to set up a new account?
I process orders 7 days a week! Once an account is set up an activation notice will be sent to you via email including a userid,
password, and FTP hostname. If you are designing your own site you can begin uploading files to your new web site immediately.

Why use a
design house to build your homepage?
No matter what the software
companies say, learning and building a website can be very
frustrating, time consuming and difficult for the everyday PC
user. Unless you enjoy hours upon hours of surfing the net for
just the right graphics, learning how to use a graphic program to
create your own, then learning how to use an HTML editor and FTP
program to upload your files to the web, Comfort Webs is who you
need. My prices are affordable and my personal service will ensure
you a wonderful site that you will be proud to display. Personal
relationships with my clients are a must! I want your site to fit
YOU! |
How much is hosting?
I offer 3 different levels of hosting and
can adjust the plans to fit your needs. Hosting is billed
annually to keep the cost down and due upon signup. Click
HERE to review our hosting plans
and services.
How do I place an order?
First read my policies page and then fill
out the form on my contact page. I will contact you quickly
with how to proceed from there. |
Where will
my site be located when I use Comfort Web Design? Your
website will be hosted on our servers at
Hostgator.com. They are the 5th largest
hosting service in the US and offer an extremely
reliable server Linux platforms to ensure your site
remains active 24/7. We offer a range of hosting options for you to
consider. I will be happy to discuss all of your options upon
contact. |
Can I check domain name availability?
You can check for domain availability directly
from
http://godaddy.com
to check for domain availability. |
What about
privacy?
Once your site is built, I will give you the access address for
your site and ask you at that time if you would like to have the
site placed on my client portfolio page. If you wish for
your pages to remain private I will fully respect your wishes and
will not add your pages to my client list. If you choose to keep
the site private then the only people who will access the site
will be those who obtain the website address directly from you. |
Can I transfer existing domain to your services?
Yes. When you place an order, be sure to specify that you are requesting a transfer and not a new domain. You
should keep the service at the present site while waiting for your current Registrar to complete the transfer.
We will provide you with all the necessary DNS information you need to transfer your domain to our hosting services.

How do I
get my pictures, logo and text to you?
You can either mail your pictures via U.S.
Mail or send them as an attachment in an email.
If sending your graphic information through
email, please save and send your images in a .jpg .tiff .png .bmp or .gif format. If you are sending your pictures
U.S. Mail please include a self addressed stamped envelope for me
to return your photos once I have scanned them and placed them on
your site. *Comfort Web Design will not be responsible for lost or
damaged photos through the U.S. mail.* |
Why do I
have to have a domain name and
how do I get a domain name?
Every website has to have a "Web Address" to
be accessible on the World wide web. Think of it as your home
address. Without one you couldn't direct people to your
home. To obtain a Domain Name just Use the Domain Registrar of your choice such as
Godaddy.Com
to register your domain name.
Godaddy.Com has the best
pricing that we can find. |
How long
will it take for my site to be available for me to see?
I will begin working on your site
as soon as I receive your photos and text. Usually you can
expect to see a preview site within a week after you send me your
material. However I do take the time and care needed to
present you with the best website for your money. Often I will
spend hours on end researching or designing just the right
graphics and layout for you. |
Will you do the domain name registration for me?
Yes I can register your domain name for
$20.00 a year, Or I can guide you through the registration process
for you to do this yourself at $12.71 yearly
How long does it take before my domain name is active?
Once your account has been activated your domain should start responding within 12-24 hours. |
I'd like to
have a page that's very interactive with all the bells and
whistles! I want flash presentation, java scripting, applets and things like that. Will
that cost me extra?
Not at all, most design elements
such as java scripting and css style sheets comes included in the prices listed
on our pricing page. You'll find that I go the extra mile to
include many things in your package that cost extra with other
designers. I love a good challenge, and are prepared to bring
excellence to your site - no matter what you may want or need! The
only extra charge you will incur is if you ask me to retouch
photos or consistently change out graphics, photos, music samples,
etc. or if Flash Animation is requested. Those are separate
charges from your website cost. Ask me for details* The only thing
I ask is that you provide the text content for your site. I
can assist with some structural ideas but only YOU know your
business and how best to describe it. |
Do you host other domains besides the .com .net or .org extensions?
Yes, I host ALL domain name extensions.
What contract and payment terms are available?
I offer annual payment for hosting accounts
payment is due upon signup. Design services require payment of
$100.00 when you order and balance due upon competition of site. For more information, visit our
plans &
pricing section. I accept credit cards via
paypal.com as well as personal and business checks (Please note all checks must clear before processing new accounts. |
Will I be able to access my domain name with or without the WWW?
Yes, you will be able to access the domain name with or without the WWW in front. For example, you could
access the domain name "yourdomain.com" by going to "www.yourdomain.com" as well as "yourdomain.com".
