We operate from Virginia, United States. But we have contact centre and clients worldwide.

Our mission is to build the best and most cost effective website for your business. A professionally built website can promote your products and services, enhance your image, and generate sales. With that in mind, we will carefully research your business needs and plan a strategy to create the ideal web solution.

Initial Consultation
All our services begin with a free initial consultation to determine your requirements. Our experienced business analysts work closely with you to determine your exact needs and desires, and will complete a detailed design worksheet itemizing all your requirements. This helps us gather information about your company, services, audience, purpose, site goals, and more.

The consultation step is very important because we are committed to providing you with solutions that will work for you, not for us! We prefer you call so we can provide you with faster service, but emails are okay too.

Proposal & Paperwork
After you are confident we have addressed all your ideas, questions, and requirements, you can get specific recommendations for your project. There are many different ways to meet your specific needs. We explain these options with the proposed pricing to deliver them. Once you agree, you receive a formal proposal that contains all of the work you require, prices and payment schedule, and contract.

Payments
We require 50% Deposit to start your work. After “you agree”, “we agree” and paperwork is signed and faxed or mailed to us, we start the actual design process. If you do not understand the smallest of points at this step PLEASE ASK FOR CLARIFICATION! Miscommunication and false expectations do NOT move the design process forward in a productive manner. At ANY time please contact us about any concerns, questions or comments you have about your project.

Collecting Your Content
You will provide us with the text and any other content for your website and any specific pictures you would like. We can provide you with access to thousands of royalty free stock photos. We also offer optional professional copywriting services.

Design Development
We ask you to provide examples of websites you really like, colors you like, and your competitors’ websites. If you want, you can also have a look at our past work and let us know any website elements you liked and we can incorporate the same for your website. We can also provide you with access to our professional high quality Semi Finished Designs and you can choose the one you like. Once you provide that information to us, usually within 2 working days, you get a creative “mockup” of what your website will look like when it’s completed. At this stage, you and the designer work closely to develop a look that will be both visually pleasing and user-friendly.

Design Selection & Finalization
After the initial “Mockup” is designed, you will review it on our servers. We send you a web link to view the “mockup” and ask if you would like any changes. You request revisions as necessary and then you provide final approval.

Web Development
After receiving your final approval on the “mockup”, we will then begin building the website and web pages, incorporating the design and all of the content that you provide.

Pre-launch Evaluation
After the site is built, you will be able to view all pages to make sure everything is exactly how you want it. You will submit any desired changes to the copy and then give final approval before the site goes live.

Launching Your Website
After final approval and payment has been received, your website will be published on your domain, and it will be live for all the world to see!

We can register your domain name and host your website too – so you don’t have to worry about technical aspects of your website and we become your one stop shop for your web presence.

Ongoing Support
After your website is launched, we will work with you to establish a regular review and maintenance schedule of your web site to accommodate your requests, user feedback, system upgrades and any new emerging web technologies.

Due to the high level of custom work and the collaborative process involved in each website we build, it’s difficult to predict an exact turn around time. We will work together with you to complete the web design Project in atimely manner. We agree to work expeditiously to complete the web design, but delays can occur if any milestone that requires your action, such as approving design mockups or web design changes, is not acknowledged on time. As an example, a 5 page website can be finished anywhere between 1-6 weeks after we’ve received all content and feedback from you. It’s a safe estimate to expect at least a month for your project, though it could be much quicker or slower, depending on your input. Ask your sales agent or project manager for more information. We also offer an express service for an additional fee to expedite your project. Always remember, we can only work as fast as you allow us; turn around time is client-dependent. If content is provided sooner, initial and on-going instructions are clear and revisions requested are reasonable, turn around time can be significantly decreased. On the other hand, it could drastically increase due to client in-action, delayed mockup approvals, back and forth change requests, etc.

Absolutely, we do awesome custom web design.

Absolutely! You’ll have several options for managing your site after it’s completed. When we’re done constructing your new website, you will own it and have full access to it. You will be able to make any changes to the site if you have any web editing knowledge. You can also opt for an editable website package. This way, you can log in to easily make changes to any non-Flash content in your site, any time you want. Just make sure you let us know you would like this option before you sign up. Thirdly, we offer a Webmaster service, if you’d like us to manage your new site for you. This is pre-paid, discounted update work to your site; 10 hours of work for only $450. This saves you $300!

That is not a problem; we have clients in all 50 states, and even internationally.Everything that you need to inspect is put up on the web as it’s worked on, and materials and communications move easily by Toll Free Numbers, Emails, Faxes, and Instant Messenger on a routine basis. Although we welcome our clients anytime to visit us physically, we have not met 98% of our customers in person. You don’t need to meet us to convey your ideas, we have the expertise in this field to understand your requirements from top to bottom..The internet allows you to choose from the best web developers in the world and still get better, faster service than the shop across town can provide — and, after all, that’s what you’ll be using the web to offer your own clients, isn’t it? On the Web, all distances are equal to zero.Even when someone chooses a local provider it is unlikely that they will visit that company in person because of tight schedules, and they end up talking on the phone and emailing. Working with your web developers and designers over the Internet is faster, more convenient, and more efficient than spending time arranging in-person meetings. We work in shifts, thus it allows us to answer phone calls during business hours on both the east coast and west coast.

If you are wondering how we can charge as much as 70% less than our competition and still be in business? There are a number of things to consider:

Clients – The first thing to consider is the importance of our clients. It is our opinion that our clients always come first. We like to be able to cater to their needs and wants. Without clients, we have no business, and without business, we cannot make money. So with that in mind, we always make sure we take care of them and we are sure they would recommend us through word of mouth which in turn brings our marketing costs down.

Promotion and Advertising – We choose the way we promote our web design business very carefully and ensure every promotion dollar pays for itself. We’ve spent a lot of time researching in this field. This is what our business is about, “Web Design and Internet Promotion”. So, we take this to the extreme. We find the absolute best values for money, as well as the most popular ones that may cost a little more. We look at every angle of advertising and promoting in order to promote our company and to keep expenses down while keeping prices low.

Co-Creation – We need your support to finish the website in a timely manner to keep our costs down. For this to happen, we expect you to give us contents on time and all milestones that requires your action, such as approving design mockups or web design changes be acknowledged on time.

Sure, you can call any of them. Since we cannot control what happens once we complete the website, we can not guarantee they will be able to take your call. You can take a look at our Testimonials page for just a few references. The best testimonial for us is our past work in our portfolio. You will be hard pressed to find any other company with as large a portfolio as ours.

Yes, we work with big and small businesses, corporations, professionals, home business owners, startups, and even individuals.

NO.

We are open 24 X 7 (except on major US Holidays).

Thank you, we get them very often. Our Mission is to be one of America’s best web design and web marketing companies by educating our clients and making their web presence affordable and successful. After we finish your project successfully and you are satisfied with our service, we would appreciate it if you refer us to your friends and associates to spread the word about us.

We will need your company profile, contact info, products and services, and any other information you intend to present on your website.

We welcome your input! The more input we receive from you the better able we will be to satisfy your needs and produce a site that will have the desired look and impact that you want. It’s your website, we want it to look the way you want it. We guarantee it 100%

Yes. We can usually redesign or freshen up an existing site quicker, and for less money than building one from scratch. Whether your company’s website “doesn’t look professional”, takes too long to load or the navigation is baffling to visitors, we can help.

Certainly. If your logo and promotional materials are not in electronic format, we can convert them to a format appropriate for your website for a small fee. We can accept almost any type of file. If your materials are printed, we can scan and convert them. Go Web Design’s designers will help you establish your online image to be consistent with your existing image that your customers already know & remember.

NO, you do not need to own a computer or have computers involved in your business in order to have a website. Many companies do filing, invoicing and more without a computer. Creating a website is more about exposing your business to new potential clients and generating new sales. There is no need to overhaul the way your company does business.

Website Maintenance or Website Updates refers to changes made to your website after the initial design & setup. Keeping a website up-to-date is essential in having repeat visitors to your site. Updating the site with sales, articles, new products, newsletters, press releases, financial figures and links are all examples of website Maintenance.

You are welcome to send over your list of necessary revisions. We are happy to assist you with any changes you would like at $45/hour.

You are responsible for writing the copy/text for your website. However, Go Web Design will place your supplied copy on the website for you. We also offer copy writing assistance at $100/page.

If there is a problem it is always better to call a single reliable company who can take care of everything while you concentrate on your business. We will make your website one less worry for you.

Actually, making it look like anything you want is not much of a factor. We’ll start with your initial direction and then work with you to refine it.

Usually the content of a site or type of business does not affect the methods, procedures and codes used to build it. For example, you wouldn’t ask a car wash if they had washed your color car before. Some sites require advanced functions to perform special operations and Go Web Design has the depth and experience to meet these needs. It would be unlikely that we had not had experience with your required web site functions. We have worked with a wide range of clientele, as evident from our portfolio.

These types of websites require complex web development and will be quoted individually. Costs can exceed $10,000 for this type of work.
