Web Design
Compatibility
How do I know we’re a good match for each other?
Not to sound like we’re dating here, but compatibility is important. Take a look at our showcase and portfolio. Does it have the general style you’re after? You need a designer whose work matches the aesthetic you’re aiming for. You might love how a designer presents their work, or they have a great reputation, or you genuinely like them as a person. Designers can design in different styles, but their own unconscious preferences will act like a magnet pulling the design back to their sweet spot. Which hopefully is the reason you selected them in the first place.

Website Content
What should I put on my Website?
When determining website content, the most important thing to consider is why your users are visiting your site. Would they access it to find out prices, the services you offer, your contact details, information relevant to them or to purchase a product or service?
For each of the user’s wants or needs, you need to consider how you will fulfil that need through the information architecture and content within your site. You will also need to think about what information you may consider sensitive (eg. prices) and incorporate alternative solutions for providing that information (eg. Quote request form).

Website Usability
What is Website Usability?
Website usability can cover a number of different factors within a website, however it can be most accurately summed up as the effectiveness of a website to provide users with the most logical, clear and intuitive way to access the information contained within.
The measure of usability is based on the quality of a user’s experience when interacting with the website and the following factors are taken in to account.
- Ease of learning is the website navigation clear or does it require a learning process to access information?
- Efficiency of use when the user has become familiar with the interface, can they quickly access the information they require?
- Remembrance on return use, can the user retain the basic functions of the website or are they required to learn again?
- Error frequency does the user make errors in accessing the information they require?
- User Satisfaction is the user satisfied with the interface and do they enjoy using the website?

Website Design
What is Website Design?
While this may sound like quite a simple question, people often interpret the term website design in different ways. For us, design refers to the look and feel of the website and how all the visual elements of a website are brought together. Design does not refer to the development of a website through the coding of HTML.
A good website design incorporates the organization’s corporate identity with navigation, text and image content to present the overall information in a concise and attractive manner.
VirtualReality is proficient in graphic design to produce design work. The design concepts are completed by our designers and approved by the client before any HTML work commences. One of the challenges a graphic designer faces in designing for the web is the restrictions that exist in HTML to enable browser compatibility and general accessibility. We only work with graphic designers who are experienced in designing for the web and all our design concepts are run through a quality assurance process with our senior web developers to ensure their compatibility for the web.

Cost of Website
What do your websites cost?
The short answer: Our prices depend on so many factors, it’s impossible to say in one sentence. Avoid any web developer who can answer this question without a long talk.
The long answer: To get a better idea of the cost of what you want to build, give us a quick phone call. We’ll ask you a few questions about the nature of the site, what sort of interactivity the site will have, your graphic design needs, etc. Then we’ll be able to give you a ballpark figure. If you’re still interested, we’ll come to your place of business and come up with a firm quote.
If you talk to a web developer who gives you an instant quote, run away! Imagine telling someone you want a car and having them immediately giving you a price for that car. Any fair and honest car salesperson would want to know the make, model and engine type of the car you’re looking to purchase, right? The same goes for building web sites. Depending on the features you want for your web site, the cost can be anywhere from a few thousand dollars to a few million.
We do have packages too. Though our static website projects generally start in the $400 range for basic business sites and range upward depending on your unique needs.
Please don’t shy away if your budget is lower or higher, reach out to us and talk about your project. Every element of your project has a factor in the price.

Need a Website
I need a website, where do I start?
Initiating your first website does not need to be a difficult task. The most important thing is to consider the purpose of your website. Do you simply want to give out your contact details? Or, do you have a more complicated purpose in mind, such as selling products and services through a sophisticated eCommerce system?
Once you have an idea of what you would like to achieve from your website, it is time to think about content. What sort of information would you like to display and how would you like to display it?
At this point, you are ready to talk to a company like VirtualReality about how they might assist you in finding solutions that meet your needs in relation to both your budget and timeframe.
If you are unsure of any of the above, or would like help in determining a strategy for your website, VirtualReality can provide a range of services that will assist you.
While determining your communication strategy for your website, it is important to think about the technical aspects of the website as well. Do you have a domain name registered? Do you need to arrange hosting for your website? Are there any special requirements that you need to keep in mind for the website?
We can of course help you in all these segments, contact us now!

PHP
What is PHP?
This is a programming language which enables your website to be more dynamic.
PHP is a HTML embedded scripting language that lets you create dynamic web pages. It is an open source, server-side, and cross-platform scripting language. PHP-enabled web pages are treated just like regular HTML pages and you can create and edit them the same way you normally create regular HTML pages.
Each programming language has its own benefits. Find out more at www.php.net

Publish Website
How do I publish or upload my website to the internet?
The most common way of uploading files to your site’s account is by using FTP. When you sign up you will be sent your FTP account and details that lets you access files in your account.
You can then use a FTP tool to transfer your website files from your hard drive to your FTP account on the web server. You can use a dedicated FTP program such as WS_FTP, CuteFTP or FileZilla. Alternately you can use the built in Windows or Internet Explorer FTP program. If you prefer a Web interface, you can use your account control panel’s File Manager instead.
We suggest using dedicated FTP programs because these programs have the best user interfaces and support advanced options like setting file permissions and resuming aborted file transfers.
