Information Regarding Red Truck Design Services
How much do your charge?
We are happy to provide a quote for your website. We charge a fraction of the price of other quality web designers.
Can you build me a shopping cart?
We don't build E-commerce systems for our clients. We are happy to assist you in linking your third party E-commerce system to your website with us.
Lots of web designers have hidden fees, do you?
No. We discuss with you your website requirements and then price accordingly and once you have placed an order for your website design with us we will adhere to the price unless there are deviations outside of our contract requiring additional work not agreed upon. We are a fair business with a high level of integrity.
Will everyone see my website the same?
Your website visitors will see some things differently depending on their browser, screen resolution setting and their individual computer settings and toolbars. We design sites with that in mind and preview them in several browser types and resolution settings before publishing. Obviously as technology alters then eventually all websites may need reevaluation.
Do you guarantee the website will be 100% error-free?
No web design services can guarantee 100% uptime. However we can say that our servers have had 100% up time for many years.
Do you provide Emails?
Yes you can have email and you will probably wish you set-up several email addressed e.g. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
What if I don't like the design?
If you do not like the design which we have suggested for you, we will discuss further with a view to ascertaining what type of design you would like to see and then place another "suggested design" in your web area for you to view. We would not like to think that you are not happy with the final website design. Our aim is to design for you a website specific to your requirements which you are completely happy with.
Do I need professional emails?
It is amazing to find that in this day and age, some companies have still not realised how important their email communications are. Your email address may actually be more important to your image than your logo, letterhead or business cards combined!

How long does it take to build a website?
The timescale of a website design project is often dictated by the client. If you have a deadline in mind we will work hard to meet it for you. The most common delay in the creation and completion of a new website is waiting for content (text/images) to be sent to us by the client.
Will we need to meet?
In the majority of cases a meeting isn't necessary and most of our websites are generally completed with contact via email and telephone only. We work with you regularly to discuss the web designs in order that the website design and functionality is exactly as you wish.
What happens after the website is built?
We provide a full twelve (12) months maintenance on every design we build.
Will my website show up in Google?
All our websites are created with search engines in mind and the website design is compliant with search engine guidelines. It is a good idea for your website to be re-evaluated in time as over a period of time the search engines do alter their rules and algorithms and you will want to be certain that your website is kept up to date and complies with new rules etc.
My website isn't showing up in Google!? (freak out here)

Can I see how many visitors are accessing my website?
