Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Q: Why do I need a website?
A: Simply put: in order to generate business. Establishing a website for your company is the first step in increasing its popularity; millions of people across the country use the Internet on a daily basis and there is no better way for word of mouth to spread about your business. An impressive site equates to a well-respected reputation. It depends on you and your business. Some of our clients have websites for offline (store, restaurant) businesses, some have online businesses (amazon.com). The goal of your website is to turn your website’s traffic/visits into clients and/or sales. This is done with the correct internet marketing approach which Feratech can assist and build.
Q: How much does a web site cost?
A: There are many factors to consider when building your web site. The final cost of your site will depend on how many pages you are going to have, the type of graphics involved, whether or not you will be selling products on the site and how interactive your site will be. You will also need to think about web hosting and domain name registration.

A: Again, this is based on a number of factors. The complexity of your site, its size, and our current schedule all play a role in the duration of designing. Our designers are the best in Boston.
Q: Does my web designer have to be a local company?
A: No. Thanks to email and telephones, we can easily communicate with clients in any location. We create the same high quality sites for clients who are local as well as those from out of state.
Q: What sort of content do I put on my web site?
A: Depending on what you want to convey, the content can be customized to deliver that message. We have a team of content writers that can help produce top-notch material. You want to keep it simple, yet refreshing and informative. A "contact us" page is a necessity so that users can find out more about your company and what you can offer should also be featured on a "products/services" page. When outlining your products or business, it's important to prove your credibility and give the users what they want. The Internet is used for research, so include all relevant, interesting information about your company.
Q: What is the difference between HTML and Flash? Is one better?
A: HTML and Flash are both used to build websites. They are both used for web development but there are some distinct differences.
HTML
A code to place and organize text, pictures and even Flash onto a web page. HTML is very efficient at displaying and organizing web pages and keeping the file size of the web page to a minimum.
FLASH
Flash is a multimedia tool commonly used create animations and web pages for the web. Flash is not as efficient at creating web pages as HTML and its file size is generally larger resulting in a longer/slow load time for web pages. Furthermore, Flash is more complex to design/build a website resulting in a longer creation time—Time=Money.
Q: Do I need web hosting, what is it?
A: Web Hosting is where your actual website (the files) reside on a Hard Drive in order for people to be able to access it via the web. You must have hosting somewhere in order for people to access from the web. Feratech, Inc. currently offers top-notch hosting for all of our clients.
