B&A CyberCreations has been designing and building web sites, and providing consulting services, for small and online businesses since 1995. Since we're located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, we target primarily businesses and organizations in the South Florida area. Our past clients include restaurants, nightclubs, music groups, law firms, modeling agencies, and even an online bakery. While we welcome clients from all over the U.S., we appeal to South Florida businesses so we can keep in close personal contact with each and every one of our clients. This way, we can better help you to decide your particular wants and needs regarding your internet presence. We, too, are a small business. And being such, our overhead is much lower than other web design companies. We don't have a large staff of commissioned account executives pounding the pavement peddling our services. Therefore, it's much easier to establish and maintain good working relationships with our customers, since your emails and telephone calls won't be forwarded to a different person each time you need assistance. We like to consider ourselves Sure, you could probably save some money by trying to put a web site together yourself. But before you can, you have to purchase web publishing software, learn how to use it, learn at least the basics of HTML (which is by no means an easy language to learn!), purchase a scanner, and hire someone to design and produce your custom graphics (which is NOT cheap). Not to mention learning all the tricks of registering your domain name (your "address" on the internet), finding a company to host your site, uploading it to their server, maintaining and updating it on a regular basis, and listing your site with the hundreds of search engines that are out there. But being a business owner, your time is very valuable. Rather than spend hours trying your hand at putting a web site together, why not let us handle that responsibility for you? OK...so how much does it cost? Of course price is important. But it shouldn't be the only, or even the primary, factor used to decide who designs and maintains your internet presence. Your web site can be a powerful marketing tool...or a complete disaster! The best sites project professionalism, quality, strength and longevity. But a poorly designed and constructed site speaks volumes about a lack of commitment to quality that your customers will in turn associate with you and your products or services. In other words, a poor web site reflects poorly on you. And in the end, a "bargain" web site that doesn't work will prove to be no bargain. At B&A CyberCreations, we discuss your needs with you in advance and quote you a price for designing and building your web site. That quote includes everything; graphics design, scanning services, complete page building (regardless of the number of pages), search engine listing...the works. BEWARE: There a currently many companies advertising super-low prices on web site packages. For example, "Complete web sites for $399!" Don't be fooled! Most of these companies employ web design students who produce template-based, "cookie cutter" web sites; every site looks the same, only with a different name at the top. They deal in quantity, not quality and customer service. In addition, these companies usually require you to host your site on their servers, to the tune of about $35 per month (we charge only $16.95). And that doesn't include maintenance and updates; that costs extra. Finally, you can bet there is a long-term contract in there as well. So in the end, exactly how much is that $399 web site costing you? Some companies charge by the number of pages that make up your web site. You purchase a package that includes a set number of pages...and that's all you get. Others go so far as to charge by the number of words on each page. Then they charge an additional fee for each individual custom graphic they produce. And there's another fee for photo scanning. Plus, there's a fee for submitting and listing your site with the search engines. And on and on and on. Before you know it, you're paying so many hidden and additional fees, you're not sure how much or what exactly you're paying for! That's NOT the case with us. No two customers are the same. Therefore, no two web sites should be the same. You, your company, and your products or services are unique...and should therefore be projected that way in your web site. At B&A CyberCreations, we do NOT use stock web page templates, where your name and address are inserted into a page designed a long time ago for someone else. We first discuss your web site with you to determine the specific requirements of the project (number of pages, number of graphics, etc.) We then begin building your web site package from scratch, and follow through according to your particular wants and needs. We then can maintain and update your site as needed for a nominal charge. This comes in handy for nightclubs that change entertainment on a regular basis, menu changes for restaurants, live entertainers' performance schedules, stores that feature particular items on sale, etc. The only additional fees you encounter are registering your domain name (which we'll discuss later), and hosting fees. By the way, we can host your site for you too! That's the scoop on us. Now lets discuss Our Services in more detail...
