FAQ's about website design

Q:	What is a Web site design?

A:	Web site designs are professional-quality templates that include complex features such as intricate page layouts (versus basic headers and wallpapers), custom interactive buttons (versus hyperlink navigation), unique font and color schemes (versus basic HTML text styles) and the use of dynamic button rollovers.

Q:	What does E-commerce mean?

A:	E-commerce (an abbreviation for Electronic Commerce) is the buying and selling of products and services by businesses and consumers over the Internet.

Q:	What is a domain name?

A:	Practically speaking, your domain name (Web address) is the core of your Internet identity, your online brand. Your customers will remember this name and use it to find your Web site, your products or your services. And since no two parties can ever hold the same domain name (Web address) simultaneously, your Internet identity is totally unique. Technically, a domain name (Web address) is an addressing construct used for identifying and locating computers on the Internet. While computers use Internet Protocol (IP) numbers to locate each other on the Internet, people find them hard to remember. Therefore, domain names (Web addresses) were developed to permit the use of easily remembered words and phrases to identify Internet addresses. For example, the domain name (Web address) elite-media represents elite-media Web sites. When you type elite-media.co.uk into a Web browser or send e-mail to someone at elite-media.co.uk, the Domain Name System (DNS) translates elite-media.co.uk into the IP numbers used by the Internet and connects you to elite-media.

Q:	Do I get e-mail with my Web site?

A:	Yes.

Q:	Do you have examples of sites that you have previously done?

A:	Yes.
