What are the northern lights?

The bright dancing lights of the aurora are actually collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth’s atmosphere. The lights are seen above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres. They are known as ‘Aurora borealis’ in the north and ‘Aurora australis’ in the south..
Auroral displays appear in many colours although pale green and pink are the most common. Shades of red, yellow, green, blue, and violet have been reported.

Whats your budget? In order for us to provide a quote we need to schedule an initial meeting or phone call to discuss your project. For appointments please call (920) 434-9772 or fill out our online form with the details of the proposed project. It is difficult to provide a cost of your project without knowing the details of your project & your goals. Common sense tells you that larger sites take more time to put together then smaller sites. After our initial meeting or phone call we will put the plan in writing and provide you with a free estimate.  Fox Valley Web Design works on a first come, first serve basis.  Contact us today to get started.

What eMail marketing program do you recommend?

We use Mail Chimp for our online newsletters and email marketing. We encourage you to try MailChimp – click here.  Its free for life until your client email list tops 2000 email addresses then you can move up to one of their affordable email marketing packages for your professional online marketing needs.

Can you help with registering a domain name?

Yes we can. The appropriate domain name (for example www.yourname.com) is important to your online success and we can help you find & register the best domain name for your business. We purchase & maintain a lot of our client’s domain names.  Owning a domain name is like a license plate for your car – it tells who the owner is and you need to renew it every year. Consider multiple domain names.  As an example our main domain is FoxValleyWebDesign.com but we also own FVWD.com which forwards to the main domain.   I tend to run FVWD.com in my advertising as its less keystrokes.

What if I don’t have a company logo?

We can help create a complete corporate identity & branding for your business or organization. This includes a professional logo in vector format. We start with creating a new company logo based on the brand strategy.

Can I make changes to the website?

Most of our clients appreciate the simplicity of the content managers from WordPress or Drupal.   Check out information about website content managers here.
