Why I do need a website?
A website is one of the least expensive and yet most targeted, flexible and effective forms of communication and commerce. Thousands of organizations have discovered that a website is a more economical, faster and effective way to make information available to Clients, Customers, Channel Partners and Employees.

An on-line presence through a website could help you:

sell and promote your products or services.
generate new business or expand your business volumes.
conduct on-line e-commerce.
collect or provide information.
communicate with your target audience.

Your on-line presence works for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and remains unmatched with any other conventional form of advertising or communication.

How is a Website different from a Web page?
Website comprises of a number of web pages with different content on each page, which one can browse through, by clicking on the relevant links.

What is the difference between a static website and a dynamic website?
A static website has very limited interactivity with no real time data updating of on-line information. Typically, a static site has a limited number of pages with simple arrangements of text and pictures. On the other hand, a dynamic site displays real time updated information based on user inputs and databases, and contains enhanced graphics, animations etc.

Are the number of pages on my site directly proportional to the web space required?
No, since a website is comprised not only of textual pages, but is a blend of graphics, pictures, forms, back-end databases, etc. each of which consume different amounts of space.

What steps are involved in creating a website?
Systel follows a well structured four-stage process to ensure that the Client’s website is built, stage by stage, to meet all his website objectives and to ensure 100% satisfaction.

1. We begin by meeting the Client to understand their organizational vision, business goals, corporate objectives, product profile/service range and their target audience. We try and understand how the company would like to leverage their online presence to enhance their competitive advantage while integrating it with their off-line business operations.
2. We discuss with the client their website objectives, target audience, information structure, layouts and navigational requirements to ensure that the website meets all the design and architectural requirements of the Client. Based on these inputs, a site template or prototype is developed and an in-principle approval is obtained from the Client.
3. The website now begins to take shape through content creation, editing and development along with incorporation of graphics, pictures, forms and other visuals to meet the overall business and communication objectives of the Client and to generate a positive impact on the target audience. During this entire period, a constant interface is maintained with the Client for any changes or enhancements that may be requested for.
4. The Site is tested thoroughly to make sure that all the objectives of the website alongwith content & visuals meet with complete Client satisfaction. The Site is then placed online and registered with the major Search Engines and Web Directories. The relationship with our Client however, does not end here. We remain available at all times for Site upgrades, redesigns as well as on-going Site maintenance.

Is it true that anybody can design web pages and build a website these days?
While it is true that basic web publishing has become easier, today’s Internet savvy customers expect a different online experience – one that is not only rich and interactive, but is also conducive and intuitive. This is something that a novice can rarely offer, and requires the back-up of a strong organization with experienced professionals. We believe your on-line presence is as vital as your business, and should never be compromised at the hands of novices.

How do you ensure your Client’s needs are met?
We offer a personalized approach that ensures a sharp focus towards meeting your website objectives along with quick customer service and technical support. As web designers and developers, we try and ensure that your questions and concerns are fully and promptly addressed.

What are the charges for website development?
Website development is a customized process and there is no fixed pattern for pricing, which depends entirely upon the features and components of the website. For simple changes and updates to an existing website in static html is $75.00/hr. For changes and updates in ASP and/or ASP.NET is $150/hr. For all other types of modifications and/or complete designs, please contact sales@systel.net.

Are additional charges levied for animations and enhanced graphics?
Animations and enhanced graphics are time consuming and demand extra time and effort to get the right combination of concept, theme and design, which entails certain additional chargeable costs.

How much time does it take for a website to be developed?
Since no two sites are the same, the time frame varies and it would all depend upon the size and complexity of the website. A simple static website of 4-5 pages with no interactive applications can be developed in approximately two weeks while a complex content driven e-commerce site with payment gateway and a complete database could take up to a few months.

How can I get more traffic to my website?
To drive traffic to your website, it is essential that it be registered with the major Internet Search Engines and Directories. Millions of people use Search Engines daily to find specific products and services. When keyword or phrases are entered in the Search Engine, they typically produce hundreds of website addresses that match the keyword. Unless your site appears in the top 20-30 sites listed, it will probably never be seen.

Systel assists you not only in registering your site with the major Search Engines but can also help you in Search Engine Optimization for ensuring a significant improvement in Search Engine rankings. Please visit our website submission section.

How do I send my site related inputs to you?
If your documents are already in a digital format (e.g. scanned photographs, MS Word documents, text files etc.) then the fastest way to send it to us would be via email.

How can I sell products from my website?
Your website can feature your products with descriptions, pictures and pricing in an attractive and enticing fashion. We can integrate an on-line store into your website that will make it convenient for your customers to purchase products and services with credit cards.

What do I need in order to conduct e-commerce on my site?
At a minimum, you should have a Merchant account, a Shopping Cart and a secure Web Server. The Merchant account allows you to accept credit cards. The Shopping Cart, of course, allows for on-line transactions. And the secure Web Server protects the information that is transferred over the Internet. Our team of professionals can help you with these and other e-commerce options.

I am confused and overwhelmed. How can you help me?
We will guide you through the entire process. Whether you are a start-up wanting your first on-line presence or an established organization looking for ways to exploit the growing functionality of the Internet, Systel can help you meet your objectives.

We offer a one stop solution starting with registering your domain name followed by website development and finally hosting your website on a server. So you don’t have to look for any other Service Provider for establishing your presence on the Net. Please get in touch with us for a free consultation at sales@systel.net.

Who maintains my site once it has been designed and hosted?
Once your website has been hosted, you will probably want to make periodic changes to keep it looking fresh and up to date. You can either do this in-house by retaining a team of people at your end if the updating is required frequently, or alternatively, if you are looking for a more professional touch, we have a range of comprehensive services, specifically for website maintenance, and even for website redesign. We believe it is far more cost effective to have Systel perform your website maintenance, specially when you consider the hidden costs of a site that does not function properly or meet the expectations of your target audience.

How do I contact you?
You may contact us by sending an email at sales@systel.net or simply click on Contact Us for details of our mailing addresses and contact numbers. Our professionals will be more than happy to assist you in developing your on-line presence in the most cost effective manner.
