Web FAQ's

What is the World Wide Web (WWW)?

The World Wide Web is formed by a network of inter connected computers that run web server software which allows them to distribute the content held on web pages which are viewable using a web browser

What programs can I use to browse the WWW?

The main programs you may want to use to view the web pages distributed by the webservers for the PC are Fire Fox and Microsoft Internet Explorer, these have now been joined by Googles own browser branded Chromium. If you are using a Mac you will probably be using Safari although you could also still be using an older version of Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. If you are running one of the many flavours of linux you could be using Fire Fox, Konqueror or possibly one of the many smaller aps which have been developed

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is an easy way to allow people to find you website. All computers on the internet are assigned a unique numerical address, but early on it was realised that it would be very difficult for people to remember these numbers so Domain Name Servers were created to allow real words to be translated into these numerical addreses making life easier for everyone.

Can Dr Mobeus help me with my website?

YES

What size web sites do you create?

Dr Mobeus Have worked on a wide range of sites over the years, from small static sites up to enterprise level solutions. We are happy to quote for anything from a 5 page brochure site up to complex, database driven sites that integrate your existing software systems.

How much will me website cost?

This is always a biggie, like all things you get what you pay for. It's impossible to give an accurate figure without assessing your requirements exactly, however a small 5 page website may cost £500, a simple eCommerce site around £2,500 right up to £25,000 or more for a complex application which integrates with your existing systems. Also bear inmind how much you value your own time. If you charge out your services for £50 an hour don't be surprised is we charge a similar amount for performing web design work on your behalf.

How long will it take to finish my site?

This depends largely on the complexity of the site and the speed at which you produce content, images and other deliverables at your end. A small static site can be completed within 2 weeks, while a large site may take 3 months +

Who owns the copyright to my website?

You do. All content, images and code belong to you, after full payment has been received. The exception is when using 3rd party software, which is licensed to yourself. You will retain the licence for that software to be used on your chosen domain name.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

We can provide a suitable content management solution to empower you to keep your own site updated easily. The majority of our clients manage their websites without the need of our assistance, however, if you prefer we can manage your site for you, we are happy to offer an inexpensive maintenance contract for this work. We can also perform monthly maintenance/updates as you require, you are basically booking some of our time each month and will work on whatever you think is the most important job to keep you site at the forefront of your industry.

Do you work with flash?

Yes, of course! Generally we advise to use Flash only for adding multimedia elements to a site (Video, image rollovers etc.). or for complex graphically rich applications such as interactive maps. We can, however, create entire Flash websites, and even include content management systems into a Flash site.

Can you add video to our site??

Yes, we can add video in any format, including QuickTime, Windows Media Player and Flash Video (as used by www.youtube.com).
