WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN HAVING A WEB SITE
DESIGNED AND MANAGED
When you hire someone to design and manage a web site for you, you own the site,
its contents, the domain name and hosting information, passwords, etc. These are not the property of the webmaster.
The webmaster should consult with you to get an idea of the type of site you'd like, how it
might look, what type of features you want, etc. You don't have to have a "template" style
site where your information is just plugged into a generic format.
Choose someone you can talk to, who you feel will listen to you and is interested
in helping promote your site.
You should expect changes and updates to made in a timely fashion. It doesn't take long
to make changes to a site, so don't put up with more than one business day for changes to
take effect unless there's an unusual reason.
