I’m New to All This. Where do I Start?

If you’re new to developing an online presence for your business, things can seem seriously complicated… and they are. There’s essentially an unlimited amount of data and information you could take in and it all may become extremely confusing. At Wonder Web Development, our goal is to deconstruct and simplify this information and make the whole process as easy for you to understand as possible. For clients who are completely new to promoting themselves and their businesses online, the first…

A example of a website domain is “WonderWebDevelopment.com“. This is the name/web address that you want people to see when they search for or go to your web page. Every computer connected to the Internet has a long string of unique numbers used to identify itself called an “IP address”. Without a domain name, you would need to remember the IP address in order to view a website. Domain names are purchased using a “registrar” which acts like a phone…

Yes! Many web design companies won’t mention recurring costs before starting your project. At Wonder Web Development, we believe being as open and honest from the start is the best way for our potential clients to understand what they’re up against. It makes everything easier for everyone involved. At the absolute minimum, you’ll need annual web hosting and annual domain name registration. These expenses can often be lessened if multiple years are paid for in advance and we always recommend…

This can be a tough question to answer. Realistically, it all depends on how extensive your initial build is and how much original content must be created, written, or posted to the site in order to “complete” it. Most standard website design projects can be completed within a week or two if there isn’t too much content creation involved. We happily offer time for proofreading as well as time for corrections and adjustments to be made to the site so…

Absolutely! Wonder Web Development offers packages to take care of all the initial setup and registration hassles. We can also walk you through the process, although this can often take more time than allowing us to handle it for you. Either way, the choice is yours and if you enjoy learning new skills, we happy to help you along the way. When it comes to the actual building of the site and determining the type of site and content you’re…

Many small businesses start out using social media accounts as their main gateway to attract and engage with customers. There is nothing wrong with this, especially when first starting out, but it’s not the ideal or logical choice if you want to grow your brand. We see this frequently with small family-owned businesses, independent contractors, freelancers, and sole proprietors. Again, there is nothing outright wrong with this option, however you are definitely holding yourself back by not having a site…

A website is a lot like a car. If you’ve had a website for a long time, you may be in need of an upgrade. Depending on how the site was originally built, you may be using outdated code, themes, and/or plugins which can cause the site to function poorly or crash. Older sites often used applications like Adobe Flash to display video content. While popular and functional in their time, many modern mobile devices, tablets, and desktops do not…

Yes! Wonder Web Development does develop online storefronts. We can create complex storefronts for dedicated online retailers, as well as simple sections if you only have a few items you wish to sell. Depending on the complexity of your store and product lines, setting up a store can take a considerable amount of time. We can set up the store and hand it off to you, or we can take care of setting up each item for sale and even…

Absolutely! Showing up on Google and other search engines is a relatively simple process. The hard part is getting your site to show up on the front page of Google. This can take a serious amount of time and effort depending on your location and the amount of related competition you have in your region. It is important to note that your site may not show up on the front page, even with a serious amount of back end web…

Yes we do! Just because you don’t see an example site or example project which matches your particular field doesn’t mean we haven’t worked on them in the past or that we can’t handle something new. Wonder Web Development is open to take on projects of all shapes and sizes for all types of businesses. We love to work with small businesses of all sorts and can help market online only, as well as brick and mortar businesses. We have…
