FAQsFrequently Asked Questions |

As a technology firm, we have faced changes in technology and the marketplace providing us with a growing sense of the importance of technology within a company. We have satisfied a wide variety of clients and along the way have addressed several common questions. Below are the answers to some questions you may have yourself:
- How much should a web site cost?
The cost of a web site depends on three major key factors; technology, functionalitiy and experience. Technology plays an important role in determining cost due to the type of hardware and/or software support that is required. Functionality is the "what" factor as to what is the purpose of the site including the business process and flow. The more complex of a business purpose and flow, the higher the cost will be. Experience is up to the firm that you choose - with iC Tek Solutions all of our developers have formal training in computer and progamming engineering.
- I don't know anything, where do I start?
Start by asking questions, talking to different firms and exploring your options. More than likely you will talk to several firms to get referrals and compare prices and features. Be sure to look for the way they approach your project. Are they going to evaluate your business needs? Are they going to give you an analysis of your requirements and what you can live without?
The first step is to evaluate the current processes and determine the best solution based on cost, technology and user acceptance.
- Is it easier to do certian things myself?
Yes, some things might be easier to do in-house if the skill set exists. The best thing to do would be to consult with your technology firm to determine the most efficient and effective solution.
- I want to update my web site myself, how do I do that?
Simple, a CMS or Content Management System will allow you edit your content as though you are using a word processor. iC Tek Solutions has developed a base CMS system that we can then customize to meet your company's needs!
- How long does it take to develop a web site?
The time it takes to develop a web site is directly related to the complexitiy of the site. iC Tek Solutions has create simple static web sites within days to complex corporation and government sites that have taken months.
- What technology is the best to implement in my business?
For the most part, you can accomplish the same type of end data results using different technologies. However, some differences can be found in performance, development and maintenance attention. iC Tek Solution's members will assist in determining what is the most cost effective technology solution for your unique needs.
- Is there more to a project than just coding?
Although coding is an important component in a project, planning and documentation are also necessities. Planning is essential in order to execute a cost effective project. Planning also ensures that projects are completed correctly the first time with all requirements being met and implemented.
Although documentation can become a tedious duty to developers, it is extremely vital that it be done. A project without documentation makes it very difficult for changes to be made to the code later on, which will create substantial delays if anything ever needed to be revised.
