Welcome to Highland Visuals Graphic & Web Design

How long does it take to create my business site?

The average time required to create a site is about 2-4 weeks, depending on how readily available the content is provided to us.

I don't own a computer, can my business benefit from advertising on the web?

Many of our clients don't own/use computers, but they all have telephones and fax machines. Your potential clients - numbering in the 10's of millions - are on the web in ever increasing numbers. By advertising your telephone, address, fax information on your web site, this substantial client base can now readily contact you.

What is the cost of an average sized web site?

The cost of developing a web site is based on a few factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the number of pages, the complexity of graphic design, database creation (if needed), online catalog implementation, animation, sound, video and any other effects. Due to the fluctuation of prices, we are unable to post current prices on our website. Please use the contact us form for more information.

What can I do to promote my web site?

Aside from the client's responsibility of placing their web address (yourcompanyname.com) on traditional promotion, including business stationary, print media, radio/TV and all other types of existing advertising, there are tremendous opportunities to advertise your web site on the Internet.

What will Highland Visuals do to help promote my web site?

Highland Visuals has developed specific ways to advertise your web site. We aggressively promote your site by submitting it to the top search engines and directories, as well as to specialized business directories. In addition, by the intelligent use of proven design elements, we enable a higher placement of your site when a client conducts a search.

What type of information should be on my Company's web site?

That really depends on the type of business you operate. Many businesses use their web site for customer support and communications with their customers. Other companies market their products online and use the web as a distribution channel. Still others, use the Internet to advertise, and expand their markets, even to international markets.
