Frequently Asked Web Design Questions

How much does it cost for your services?

For competitive reasons Distant Horizon does not list pricing online. We would be happy to discuss our rates with you over the phone or during a free consultation. We prefer to come to meet with you at your location so that we can really absorb the flavor of your business.

Do you work with small businesses?

Yes. Small businesses and family-owned businesses are the lifeblood of our company. Although over the years we have had the good fortune to work with some very large firms, the foundation of our business is Main Street.

Can you get my website on the first page of Google?

Search Engine Optimization is a top priority at Indiana Web Design. You will find many examples of first page Google rankings amongst our clients. However, each situation is different and we do not guarantee certain search engine ranking outcomes as part of our proposal or contract.

Do you use design templates?

Not the way you're thinking about it. Every website we develop includes a custom design. Behind the scenes there is Content Management System that drives the page structure and layout, but this is to assure easy maintenance and search engine optimization, not to create a "templated" site. There is a right way and a wrong way to lay out a web site...and our system is only a template in the sense that it forces you to do things in the right way!

Who writes the content for the websites you build?

Most commonly, our clients provide the content because only you and your staff know your business well enough to truly write about it in detail. It can be time-consuming and difficult, but it only has to be done once and is well worth it in the long run. Both Google and your customer will appreciate your efforts. We can also provide copy-writing services if desired but even a copywriter is going to need substantial documentation from you in order to write your content for you.

Can I maintain my website once you build it?

Absolutely. We have self-maintainable website packages so you can make changes to your website whenever it's convenient for you. You will hear the term "Content Management System" and that is the server software that allows you to log in to your web site with a password and edit the content, navigation, images etc.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept checks, VISA, MASTERCARD, AMEX & DISCOVER cards. Please feel free to ask about our interest-free financing and pre-payment discounts.

What happens if you sell out or go out of business?

Distant Horizon has continuously operated as a web site development, hosting and e-commerce consulting firm since 1999. We have been growing and profitable every year since our founding. The company is free of long-term debt and the stock is 100% owned by Brandon J. Wilson. There are several family members involved in the day-to-day management of the business and insurance policies in place to ensure the continued operation of the business under severe circumstances. No one would acquire our company unless the plan was to do a bigger and better job of what we already do.
