WEBSITE BUILDING
Q: What content do you need from me to get started building a new website?

A: We take the content you provide and create the best site possible. Content is "key", and your website will only be as good as the content you provide. We handle all the layouts, styles, designs, graphics, and functionality. Once you become a client, you have our 100% commitment and lifetime support.

A: Yes. A deposit of 1/2 the total is required before any work will begin. The remainder of the balance is due at the completion of your project.

A: Yes. We build websites based on "responsive layouts" that automatically adapt for mobile, tablet, and desktop. For SEO (search engine optimization) we are highly skilled at coding the proper information to get your website ranked on Google and other search engines.
WEBSITE UPDATING
Q: What are my options for website updates?
A: We offer 3 primary plans. 1) We handle all of your updating. 2) You handle all of your updating (you'll receive detailed instructions and tutorial). 3) A combination of both.
Q: What update plan do you recommend?
A: This is unique for each website. For instance, if you have a basic informational site that doesn't change content very often (less than once a month), then we prefer to do all of your updates (plan 1). If you have a site that requires daily or weekly updates, then we prefer for you to make the updates (plan 2), and we'll show you exactly how. Most websites require a combination of both (plan 3), where you handle the basic edits and we handle the more complex ones. Typically you're able to edit all basic content sections of the site, but some special areas need our attention.
Q: How do I update my website?
A: Very easily thanks to our custom CMS user login system. When building your new website we also build in a custom user area where you can login and choose what you'd like to edit. It's extremely easy to use, and is the perfect solution for some of our clients. Please note that only certain areas of your website are editable by you.
CLIENT PORTAL/LOGIN
A: You need a code, and will receive the Registration Code with instructions via email.
Q: What is the Client Portal?
A: Our AZWD Client Portal is a backend content upload feature where you upload content into folders. Each folder is a website page on your site, and holds all of your submitted content in one place and organized. You simply upload files into these folders, and we use them to build your website. It's a great service we offer and helps everyone stay organized.
Q: Does the portal allow me to upload all my files into folders?
A: Yes. You have full control over your folders and files; create, delete, upload, edit, ect...
