FAQ

How long does it take to build a website?

We generally quote a lead time of about three months to ensure a high-quality result. This timeline allows for a detailed process that includes thorough planning, design, development, and testing phases.

Initially, we spend time understanding your needs and crafting a custom design that aligns with your vision. Next, we develop the site, integrating features and functionalities, and then rigorously test it to ensure it performs flawlessly across various devices and browsers.

Each stage is crucial for delivering a well-functioning, polished website that meets your expectations and stands out in a competitive digital landscape. This thoughtful approach ensures that every aspect of your site is meticulously addressed, resulting in a robust and effective online presence.

How much does website maintenance cost?

Our routine monthly maintenance ranges from $99-$499/month which includes comprehensive services to ensure your site remains in optimal condition. This means you benefit from regular updates, security patches, and performance optimizations without any additional costs. Our team proactively monitors and manages your website’s health, handling everything from fixing minor issues to performing essential upgrades, so you can focus on your business without worrying about technical details.

By bundling maintenance with your monthly service fee, we provide peace of mind and consistent support, ensuring your website operates smoothly and effectively at all times.

Can I do the maintenance myself?

Website maintenance is exclusively managed by our highly trained and qualified staff to ensure the highest standards of performance and security. We handle all technical aspects and updates to guarantee your website functions seamlessly and remains protected from potential issues. We do not use any third-party vendors or offshore assistants. Your website is managed right here in the USA by our local team.

Unfortunately, customers are not able to perform their own maintenance tasks directly. However, if you prefer to have another party manage your website, we can discuss alternate arrangements and collaborate with your chosen provider to ensure a smooth transition and ongoing support. Our goal is to offer you flexibility while maintaining the integrity and efficiency of your site.

Who owns the website after it's finished?

Once the website design is completed and published online, you retain full ownership of your site and its content. However, please note that access to backend databases are not provided as part of the standard service. This policy remains in effect for the duration of the maintenance contract to ensure that our team can efficiently manage updates and security measures.

If the maintenance contract ends or you have specific needs for access, we can make arrangements to provide you with the necessary credentials. Our goal is to balance your ownership and control with the ongoing support and security of your website.

Can you help me with content (photos, text, etc)?

We offer an add-on photography service to help you acquire high-quality digital media for your website, ensuring that your visual content is both professional and engaging.

While we can assist in capturing and providing compelling images, we prefer that you supply your own text content. This approach allows us to focus on creating striking visuals while you contribute the personalized and specific messaging that best represents your brand.

By working together in this way, we can create a cohesive and effective website that showcases your unique identity and meets your strategic goals.

I have some other questions. Can we talk further?

If you have any additional questions or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to provide the support and information you need to ensure a smooth and successful experience. Whether you have inquiries about our services, the website development process, or any other aspect of your project, our team is ready to assist you. Reach out to us at your convenience and we’ll be happy to address your concerns and guide you through any details.

Samples of Our Work

Crowns of Hope

We were approached by Crowns of Hope, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, to help them reignite a previously existing website that had been down for years.  The old page was no longer available so instead of doing a Migration or Merging, we started with a blank canvas.  Crowns of Hope chose our Basic package and indicated that they wanted something very simple, most likely only one page.  After meeting in person and addressing their needs, we mutually decided that a multi-page site would be most beneficial.  The result was a beautifully stunning color layout.  We also assisted Crowns of Hope in setting up and learning how to manage their social media platforms.

Parkside Hotel

East Shore Technology partnered with the Parkside Hotel in Hershey, PA to launch their first website.  Their website was crafted during a special time as while their website was being created, their bar and grill also closed for 5 weeks of renovations.  Since its reopening and website launch, the Parkside Hotel is now enjoying the conversions of online visitors to new customers.

E-Vision LLC

East Shore Technology teamed up with E-Vision LLC in Lancaster, PA to build a website for their small consulting business.  E-Vision was interested in creating a layout that was user-friendly and provided eCommerce capability to sell products online.  They also wanted a platform to give clients updates on their niche industry that provides workshops for individuals in human services.  Together, we designed a project that accomplished all of their needs and provide routine maintenance.

 

What Our Customers Are Saying

I am an accomplished professional in the media sector with two decades of experience in marketing.  After collaborating with East Shore Technology, my organization’s digital presence has grown exponentially.  The impact of our new followers has proven to be a tangible surge in online sales traffic.

Stephen Martine

The Cline Project

As a non-profit organization, we have to be mindful of how we spend our money.  Working with East Shore Technology on our website design was not only cost-effective, but they gave themselves fully to the project, far exceeding what I had in mind.  They were creative, flexible, and made suggestions that were outside the box of my original thinking.  The outcome was beautiful and they continue to make themselves available to us for support.
