What is the first step in getting started for our website?
   The very first thing to do is to give some thought in advance to what you want your web site to accomplish. The point of this exercise is to realistically assess and prioritize the goals of placing your web site online.

Once we make contact, then what happens?
   First, we will discuss with you what your primary objectives are in placing your organization on the World Wide Web. From that discussion we'll determine what comprehensive solutions will fulfill those goals. Once you indicate to us how extensive a site you want, we will take all that information to collaborate in creating a content outline that will guide the custom design process. Your opinions and ideas are incorporated into every aspect of this outline.
   When the initial design process is complete, we carefully review each individual web page to be certain the presentation is both accurate and attractively portrayed.
   Your completed site is uploaded to the server in a "hidden" directory for your final approval. Any changes you want can be made at this time. Upon your authorization, it is then published on the web for public viewing.
   Finally, we are available to assist you in developing the best web site promotion strategy for integrating your Internet presence into your overall public relations and marketing approach. As is often said in cyberspace, "a web site is an ongoing process, not just a one time project."

What happens if we occasionally need to make content changes?
   This is what is referred to as "web site maintenance." You can either outsource the job to us to make the changes for you on an "as needed" basis, or (in the case of your own domain name and server) you have the option to make those changes yourself if you have the necessary equipment and expertise.

We have a web site, but it is not doing much for us... can you help?
   Yes. We specialize in makeover's - taking an existing web site and transforming it into a productive, attractive, and profitable business tool. Always remember, your web site is a "window through which the world will view you," so making it as professional looking as possible presents your organization in the best possible light.
   We can also provide a professional web site evaluation, where we'll check out its HTML coding, layout, download time, graphics, and attractiveness to search engines, then will prepare a detailed written report for you. You select how many of the pages on your web site you want critically analyzed - you can then make the changes to the site yourself, or have someone else do it for you.

How long does it take to get a new web site online?
   Again, this depends on how extensive your web site is, and also on how quickly the necessary content materials can be gathered. We will guide you through the process of assembling your text and graphics, then will construct your site based on what you provide. The quicker we receive your packet of graphics and text materials, the quicker we can begin the design process. Generally speaking, you should realistically expect a mid-sized site to take approximately 2 to 4 weeks to get online once we receive these materials from you. We will give you a pretty accurate completion date once we have the chance to review everything you send.

We have scanning equipment, so can we do our own photo scans?
   You are certainly welcomed to save some money by doing your own scanning. However, it is essential that this scanning be done correctly for the web, otherwise, your efforts will not be usable.

Our outfit is not located in your state.... will that be a problem?
   Absolutely not. Most of the web site design work we do are for organizations located around the country. The Internet is without boundaries, and therefore you can have your site designed by our firm here in the beautiful Pocono Mountain's of Pennsylvania, have it hosted with us or in another part of the country, and access it locally in your area.
   Your criteria can therefore be focused on price, quality, and customer service - three reasons why North America Outdoors is repeatedly chosen by Outfitters, Guides and Taxidermist nationwide who want a distinctive and successful web presence that stays within their budget.

What pages do you want?
   Think about the information you are wanting for your web site. How many pages, what information will be on each page.

The Home Page
   Your home page must give as much information about your web site as possible. If you are wanting a web surfer to find your web site you need good content for the opening page of the site.

Photo's
   Show photo's. This can be very important to your web site visitor. Whether your selling products or offering your services for hunting and fishing you can never have enough photo's through out your web site.

Photo Gallery
   If your an Outfitter or a Guide it a good idea to have us set up a collection of photo's. Visitors can view the gallery page and see exactly what you have to offer.
