How large is the company of E.Curtis Designs?
E. Curtis Designs is a freelance web site design business that works in partnership with Conti-Creative Designs. Edmund Price is the licensed owner and primary designer, though other design professionals are used on a case by case basis if warranted. Edmund Price has been designing web sites professionally for over 5 years.

What is your design experience?
All who work for E. Curtis Designs have advanced college courses in web site design, graphic design, and web scripting languages. To design the pages we primarily use Adobe Dreamweaver yet will use other design generators to compliment the development as necessary. To enhance the design process we use Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Fireworks, Color Schemer, Acrobat Professional, and a variety of other essential design programs.

What is your experience with copy/technical writing?
We have many years of experience writing for diverse business platforms - print journalism, hospitality training and development, and business applications within the design community. Our experience includes web applications, business proposals, employee manuals, reference lists/ tests, training agendas, and many years of liberal academic college study.

How can you afford to charge so little?
Since E. Curtis Designs is a small company we don't have a lot of overhead expense and we do our own internet marketing; and we believe that by providing a great product at an affordable price this will result in future design projects and referrals from our clients..

What is your "100% Satisfaction Guarantee"?
If you don't like the design we have fashioned you owe us nothing for the site development, yet we reserve the right to use the site as a portfolio sample.

How can you charge only $50 a year to host my web site?
We have spent a lot of the time surfing to find the best providers at the lowest price. Once we found a company we trusted we developed a partnership with them so we could pass on this savings, and of course we provide free technical assistance to all our customers.

Do you guarantee a high ranking in the search engines?
No, we can't guarantee a high ranking and those who say they can are misleading you. For the sites we design we will submit the completed site to the top 5 free search engines/directories without additional cost. We also offer a premiere marketing service where for an additional cost we will extend our submissions to the top 100 engines/directories, as well as internet yellow pages, FFA links, and content related pay for inclusion directories. With our premier marketing service we will typically get your site ranked in the top 10 of relevant key word queries, which isn't bad considering that there are millions of web sites

After the site is completed what do you charge to maintain a site?
We will maintain most sites for a cost of $35/hr with a two hour minimum charge.

What happens if you build me a site and I realize after I pay that I am not happy with it?
Upon site completion we provide low cost site updates and in some cases will make site changes without additional cost.

Do you build sites for a business outside of your geographical area?
Yes, we will build a site for you no matter where you live, though any shipping expense of site materials will be the client's responsibility.
