This is one of hundreds of videos where I answer some of the most commonly asked questions related to website development and small businesses. Today’s question is, “What parts of a website are critical when you’re developing a website? Make sure it has your name, phone number, contact information so that if somebody wants to get a hold of you and give you money. The big thing is, as I’ve mentioned in other videos, when people come to your website they have questions that want to be answered so just be sure to answer questions on your website. Pick 10 questions and begin to answer those questions.

This is one hundreds of videos where I answer the most commonly asked questions related to small business websites. I put on a suit coat today so that I look very intelligent. 😉 Anyway, today’s question is, “How quickly can a new company get its website up and running from the start of the development process?” This is a very important question and a place where a lot of web developers get a bad name, because web developers they’re a special bunch. They’re not very good at setting clear expectations somehow and so this is something we’ve really worked on at Fiddler Online. But make sure if you’re working with a web developer that he or she is setting clear expectations so that you’re not disappointed in the long run. We generally ask for eight weeks from beginning to end of the development process. That gives us enough time to acquire all the information from you and get the website up and running in a good amount of time so that it can actually start working.
