Who is Piranha Designs?

Piranha Designs is a web designer, software developer, and consulting company committed to building, monitoring, and maintaining professional web sites for all your business needs. We take pride in creating unique, original web sites using the right technology for the right job. Our clients typically consist of individuals and small business owners that understand how a web site can be an excellent tool for sales and marketing.

What can a web site do for my business?

Your web site will be another venue for advertising and marketing. Your company's sales brochures, literature, and company information will be accessible online for all your potential customers using only their internet connection and web browser. In today's market, the internet is the preferred way to research information and find businesses that provide the desired services and products. Adding your web site's domain name to your letterhead and business cards gives your customers a professional impression.

What is a domain name?

A domain name is simply the name of your web site. For example, if your company's name is Water Sports, Inc. the name of your site could be www.watersports.com and this is how your customers can find you. A domain name must first be registered with a domain registrar before your web site can go live. Once your domain is registered, no one else can use that domain name. However, because the internet is worldwide, you need to get your domain name registered now before someone else does. Domain names go quickly and you may not be able to use the one you want!

Can I have email sent to my domain address?

Absolutely! This is one of the great things about having your own web site. Imagine having an email address of yourname@yourcompany.com. You will be able to have multiple email addresses for your site as well. For example, a potential customer could send a sales inquiry to sales@yourcompany.com to request a bid or quote. Each of your employees could also have their own email address. Email is a vital function for today's businesses and Piranha Designs includes this capability with the purchase of your web site.

How long does it take to create a web site?

The time it takes varies greatly with the requirements of your site. A small, basic web site built using your company's choice of layout, colors, font, text, and graphics can usually be done in a couple of days. However, this assumes you already have an idea of what you want for your site. An original web site can go through a number of steps and revisions before it goes live. Creating a professional looking web site is an iterative process that takes time and involves a lot of communication between you and a Piranha Designs expert. At Piranha Designs, we're not satisfied until you are.
