Frequently Asked Questions

"…state of the art websites?"

G-site is a state of the art web development firm, which specializes in delivering your Internet message clearly and efficiently. We create web sites that are aesthetically pleasing, as well as informative -- utilizing methods, ranging from HTML to CGI to ASP to Flash -- whatever method is suitable for your needs.

"… a web site that clearly conveys the message?"

The design should never get in the way of your message... The challenge is always to create a web site that is visually pleasing, yet gets the message out effectively. The Internet is strewn with sites that are so overwhelmed by graphics and effects that the messages become obscured. Web design is an evolving advertising and technological art form. There is a tendency among many designers to get so caught up in emerging technologies that they sometimes lose focus of their client's actual needs. G-site believes in the elegance of simplicity.

"…determining the client's specific needs?"

Our thoughts on this subject are simply -- LESS IS MORE. Most companies and organizations just want to get the message out without clutter or distraction. We suggest the best methods to do so. If additional enhancements are useful, we’ll suggest appropriate ones and then you decide what fits your budget. Our objective is to create web sites that remain viable through the fads... simple and attractive, yet scalable. We don't want someone to visit your web site a couple of months down the road and find last month's fad dominating your site.

"… G-site on the cutting edge...?"

G-site has produced web sites incorporating all of the above-mentioned features and more, but always in accordance to the client's desires and objectives. Indeed, we have even created "Spartan" sites when specified. We have also created and been a part of many award winning sites.

"… hosting?"
G-site has worked with a variety of Internet hosts -- Southwest Bell, XO, Interland, AOL, Verio, Earthlink/Mindspring and many, many more. We have also worked with offshore hosts.

If you do not have a host in mind, we can also make arrangements for you, if you like.

"Why is AOL compatibility so important?"

Over 35 million subscribers! Can any business afford to ignore 35 million potential visitors? AOL is the single largest entity on the Internet. AOL users range in age from 1 to 100 years old. Yet it is beyond belief that most so-called "web professionals" don't have a clue about how AOL functions, or how things look to an AOL user. Many web-professionals have become "web-snobs." They have utter disdain for AOL because it is so easy to use. It is ironic that the very element that most web-professionals purport to want to create, they ridicule in AOL, because AOL is doing it so well.

So, if you talk to a "web professional" who negates or belittles the importance of AOL compatibility, we sincerely suggest that you look for services elsewhere fast!

"… AOL compatibility?"

G-site has a long history with AOL and has designed a number of methods to make sure that sites look as good in AOL as they do in non-AOL services. We would be glad to discuss them with you further.

"… G-site pricing lower than many of its competitors?"

G-site has always been a very efficiently run organization. We make our (“ghost design”) services available to other Internet service companies and advertising agencies, but when you deal with G-site directly, the cost will be dramatically less than most other design firms, because we are a direct site producer. Costs for direct G-site customers will be from 10%-50% less than if purchased from most other companies with similar portfolios.

"…with lower pricing, will the quality of the work be equal to the competition?"

Customer care and quality are G-site's strongest characteristics. We have developed numerous sites that have become showpieces for the many clients that we have serviced. Some of these sites are among the most advanced on the Internet, encompassing aesthetic and functional elements that have made those clients quite proud.
