Common Questions?

Yes, of course.

How much does a website cost?

That depends.  The cost can range from less than $500 to over $5,000,000.00.

So what is the average cost of a website?

Just the basic services such as: domain name, web hosting, email accounts and traffic statistics; will cost around $300 (depending on who provides it).  CCParker Studios can provide basic services now at www.ccparkeronline.com.  The average cost to design the website varies.  Some companies charge per page, or per package deal or by the hour.  A better estimate of the cost will be made after an initial meeting with Chris Parker.

Why choose CCParker Studios to purchase a domain, web hosting and web design?

Simple answer...
CCParker Studios is not a large corporation.  If you need to contact an associate, but the phone directory makes you to enter an extension number.  Then you're asked to leave a voice message.  The associate might call you back in three or four days maybe.  Sound familiar?  Not here!
You are given phone numbers and email address to contact directly. 

Templates are extremely rarely used.  If you want a shopping cart, a template might be used.  However, every website is custom designed according to YOUR WANTS & DREAMS. 

I prefer to work closely with clients.  Your website should reflect your personality. For the designer to correctly create the website, he/she should get to know the client quite well. 

I saw a website recently and I would want my website to look just like theirs.

I'm sorry. I design custom websites.  So lets try something different so your website stands out better than the one you saw.

I already have a website.  It needs to be updated, but the person who made my website does not respond to my emails or phone calls.  Can you update my website?

Sure!  First, do you actually own the domain name? If yes, then the I can help.  If no, then I can help, however, it will be difficult.  Are you willing to transfer your domain and change web host?  Do you have all the access login information and passwords?

Why should I also have you maintain my website on a monthly basis?

If you would like your website visitors to return to your website.  The website should be updated regularly, if not daily, weekly, or monthly.  Updates also help keep your website on the top of search engines' listings.

Your website shows graphic design, website design and fine art. 
How is it related? Why both?

I create oil paintings.  The paintings take extremely amount of time, creativity, thought and emotion.  I want the viewer of the art to be touched in some sort of way.  The painting should say something to you; positive or negative.  Creating computer graphics or a website require almost the same as the artwork.  The amount of time to create a website is not near as much for the painting.  However, to create a great website will require a large amount of creativity and thought.

I like your paintings.  However, you do not have anything available that I would like to purchase.  Can I request a special painting or commission you to paint one?

I will always take a  commission in consideration.  As you view my artwork, you will notice that human beings are not in the paintings.  I can create portraits, however, I prefer not to.  A couple of years ago, I created a self-portrait; which I did not like seeing my head sitting by itself.  I will be glad to meet with you to discuss the content and size of the painting.
