1) How much will my website cost?

The beauty of Dapper Tiger is that everything is paid for up front with no hidden fees. We create the website according to your instructions for a modest fee. After we complete your site you may wish to make extra changes. Two rounds of changes will be included free without any additional cost. Should you desire additional changes we charge $22 per hour but work very quickly.

2) How do I choose a name for my business?
Being totally unique is the key when creating an online business. If your name is a phrase that is unique it will instantly rise to the top of a Google search. What you need is a word or phrase that evokes the main principles of the business. However it doesn’t have to include words of what your business literally does. Your brand name should be less than 15 characters. This way it can be used for your Twitter username or username on other web marketing platforms.

3) How long does it take to build a website?
It depends on how complex your website is. A simple site could take two days, though the average site will take about a week. A more complex site with 100 pages or shopping carts could take over a month. Also, it depends on how quickly we receive content from you, such as images, copy, etc.

4) How can I get the most bang for my buck with you guys?

• Be specific about your desires. If possible make a mock-up freehand.
• Don’t make too many changes. More changes=more $$$
• Proofread your text/copy
• Always make sure to send high resolution images the first time and label them.
• Be quick about sending us content & information (changes, contract, bio, photos etc.)

5) Will my website be #1 on Google?

Your site might not be #1 on Google depending on many many factors but we can do our best to get you as close to the top as possible without spending too much.

TIPS on making your site RISE ABOVE:

• Have a UNIQUE name
• Name your images with keywords. This way people might find you through Google image searches.
• Your ranking is mainly based on the FIRST page of your website. That’s why it’s FANTASTIC for your first page to be a BLOG. Blogs contain keywords for robots to read and the more keywords the more likely you’ll be found on Google. A good second option would be to have a blog that leads to your site.
• Use Twitter: it’s like writing a mini-blog. You’d be surprised how many folks will find you by dropping keywords on Twitter.
• Have good meta tags. These are tags embedded in the website which reveal to Google keywords and descriptions. While we construct your website it’s important to brainstorm a list of the best keywords to help index what your products/services are all about.
• ADSENSE- most people PAY Google to have their site come up 1st using this service. We can help you set it up!
• DON’T have a FLASH website. Flash doesn’t provide any content for robots to read. It might look cool but looking cool will not help you rise to the top of Google. Also anyone who’s looking at your site on an Iphone or Ipad won’t be able to see it. What a drag! At Dapper Tiger we do not use FLASH.
• Send out a press release. The more inbound links you have to your site the more it’s valued by Google. There are numerous free and paid sites where you can create a press release. Another good idea is a Squidoo lense. Check Squidoo.com
• Get your friends to put links to your site from their websites: Again, the more inbound links, the better.
• We can’t always make MAGIC happen because everyone’s experience with Google is different. Watch this:
