My site is not showing the updates that have been
made?
Most browsers are set to store a certain amount of files
offline so that is saves time when browsing sites
regularly. This means it doesn't refresh the site each
time you go there, unless its been some time in between
visits. The way to view the site is to reload the entire
site from the server, so that you download all the files
from scratch. To do this go to the page that you would
like to visit; press and hold control and then press F5.
This should reload the page and the new info will
appear.
Google Adwords/Sponsored Links: (Very Quick
Overview)
Adwords apprear on the right hand side of google. These
are adverts that have been paid for and they are
activated by entering certain search strings into Google
Adwords when setting up campaigns. If a user enters the
search words it will activate the advert, but there are
certain factors, namely pricing that effect the
performance of your Adwords. There are two factors when
budgeting for Adwords. Firstly, the person that pays the
highest price for a click will usually be at the top of
the list (highest in the list/ratings). The other factor
is the budget, this can be set in various ways, per day
or per month etc. Once your budget is exhausted your
advert will not apply. For example if you set your max
click price for R10 per day and your daily budget at
R30, your ad may appear at the top of the list for many
searches, but once the ad has been clicked on 3 times at
R10 per click, your ad will no longer appear for the
day. The per click prices are not
displayed, so the only way to know roughly how much
someone else is paying is to slowly increase the per
click price until you appear above, it is like an
undisclosed auction pricing system.
Online ordering vs Online payments
Orders via html It is
possible to collect order information via submission
form online using basic html forms. The user can enter
in almost any required information into the forms and
submit the form via the website. The information will be
sent to the relevant email address and will contain the
order information specified. This option is very
affordable (usually the same price as any other html
page)
Online orders with payments
In order to process
payments online, you need more specialised programming
with databases as well as an online payment system and
bank account linked to it. The option increases all
development costs as well as your monthly costs to
host/run the more advanced processes. We do not offer
this option as a part of our standard products/services.
Google – how do I get up the rankings?
We do not want to give
away our trade secrets regarding Google ratings and
there are no guarantees that we can offer with regard to
placements and hits, however we will advise you as best
as we know possible should you order a website from
Fdesign.
How long does it take to get my site and email running?
We will setup the account with the hosting company as
soon as we get the go ahead from you to do so. They will
invoice you directly and send you an invoice for the
amount due. Only once they have received proof of
payment will they activate the account. This process
usually takes 2-4 working days (from payment). Once it
is active we are able to setup the email addresses and
hosting. In order to speed things up we recommend that
you make payment and email proof thereof as soon as
possible.
Font Limitations on Websites: Why can I use any
font for my sites text?
Internet browsers and most operating systems only come
with a certain amount of fonts installed by default. If
you use a font that is not installed then the font will
default to one that you do have on your computer. This
means that uses with out the fonts installed will see
other substituted font and not the one you would like.
For this reason we stick to browser safe ones like,
verdana. tahoma, , times and arial. |
