13. How long does it take for a design to be completed?
For simple projects, the client generally dictates the timescale. If you have a deadline in mind we will endeavor to meet it for you. The most common delay in the creation of a site is waiting for content (text/images) to be sent to us by the client. For more complex projects, duration can be between 4 - 6 weeks.

14. I'd like a website. Where do I begin?
To minimize the involvement and cost of the web site designer, supply as much information as possible. The following are suggestions to start with:
- Decide what you want on the web.
- Set your goals - What do you want to accomplish?
- Organize your ideas into Main Topics.
- Decide what you want your web site to look like.
- Colors?
- Layout ideas

15. Does it cost extra to move my domain from another provider to your service?
The InterNIC does not charge a fee to transfer domain names. We will submit a domains modification request to the InterNIC free of charge on your behalf so it should cost nothing extra to move your domain. Be sure that you select the "transfer my domain name" option within the setup form.

16. Okay, I'm interested in your services, what happens next?
You can choose from the packages that interests you the most, request for a quote or click on the purchase window which would automatically direct you to the client log-in page. You would be then asked to give your username and password to be added to our database. You would now have the option to pay at once using our secured payment module. You would also be asked to agree on our terms and conditions.

Once you agree on our terms and conditions, a customer service representative would call you to discuss the design of your website, ask you to submit/upload the information/ graphics needed on our ftp server and we would give you an initial layout design within 24 hours. Once everything is settled, design concept is approved, and payment is received, we would then start building the other modules of your website. From the initial design phase, we would be able to give you a timeframe and other pertinent information on project completion. You would then have access to monitor the project's progress using our project update/status report module.

17. How should I pay and how do we start?
We accept major credit cards, money order, cashier's checks and personal checks. Payments should ONLY be made in US$ and should be payable to IT Systems & Design. You can pay online using a credit card or simply call a Sales Representative at 1-818-990-3397 who can take your order over the phone. Payment scheme would be 30% downpayment upon order and 20% upon design approval. The balance must be paid after your website is completed. Your website would not be made live unless all payments are cleared and would be available only our production server for you to check while it is being made.

18. How much time does it take to complete the project?
As soon as we get your payment, we will start working on the website design package you chose, customize it with your contents and show you a draft in 2 business days for your further approval. Once you approve, we will go ahead and make the other pages and launch your website. The whole procedure can take about 5 – 10 working days or more, depending on other factors. The cost would be a little lower.

19. What are the additional monthly costs?
Monthly charges for web hosting packages depend on the web hosting package that you have chosen. Please see our web hosting packages for a clearer description of what kind of package you might need. This is recommended but very much optional and you can continue to host with your existing service provider, even if we design your website.

20. Are you going to custom design my website?
This is our specialty, we custom-build your website to fit your special needs. The pricing on our website reflects the cost you will have to pay for getting a website customized from scratch. However, if you choose that we use an available web template, the cost would still be the same.

21. Why are your prices very low?
How do we manage to keep our prices so low? Are you wondering how can we charge as much as 60% less than our competitors and still be in business? There are a number of things to consider: Clients – The first thing to consider is the importance of our clients. It is our opinion that our clients always come first. We like to be able to cater to their needs and wants. Without clients we have no business, without business, we cannot make money. So, with that in mind, we always make sure we take care of them and we are sure they would recommend us through word of mouth and in turn, bring our marketing costs down.

Promotion and Advertising – We choose the way we design our web design business very carefully and we ensure every promotion dollar pays for itself. We've spent a lot of time researching in this field. This is what our business is about, “Web Design and Internet Promotion”. So we take this to the extreme. We find the absolute best values for money as well as the most popular ones that may cost a little more. We look at every different angle of advertising and promoting in order to promote our company and to keep expenses down while keeping prices low.

22. Will we have a complete control over the website?
Of course you will. In fact, on your request we will ship you a CD with your complete website. So, in case you don't want to host it with us in the future, you can freely choose not to do so. We also give you an advance control panel with all our hosted website, using this, you can check emails online, web space usage, etc.
