Increasing traffic to your website is not our primary service. Our main role involves refining or enhancing the aesthetics of your website and/or overall identity (we can help you, however, with pure cold calling, marketing, or Internet marketing). Consider this: Many websites get traffic, but not quality traffic. Your focus should not be quantity but rather quality. BrandRev follows certain web design guidelines that ensures your site is "search engine friendly" (read more below).

A few common questions that we address as we start working with clients.
What does BrandRev (studiokovacs.com) do/provide?
Q
We provide corporate branding and web development services. Once we revise your company/brand identity (if needed) we provide you with the digital & print tools you need to conduct effective marketing and have a uniform identity.
Do you work with everyone or do you have an ideal customer?
Q
Our approach and services do not fit with every company/group. What we do enhances the image and performance of a company/group. If business owners or group leaders don't understand the value we provide we choose not to work with them.
Our core products include: websites, marketing materials, stationary (letterhead, business cards, flyers, etc.). Our core services include: corporate branding, marketing and business support.
Our ideal customer is: a small to medium sized business/group (1-100 employees/members) led by a person (or persons) who comprehend(s) the need for a distinct corporate image and an optimized online presence, especially during these changing times.
Everything sounds good, but what do you charge?
Q
The cost of your website depends on the number of pages, features and images you wish to have implemented. Your budget and our custom designs will meet to produce a professional image of your business.
Our designs are one-of-a-kind and never template, "cookie-cutter" sites. We know it's your reputation & brand identity we're designing and marketing.
You'll only get what you put in. Our best clients have been those willing to make the investment required in order to further their business operations or group performance and/or community development.
Do you handle maintenance and hosting or do we take care of that?
What if I/We already have a website?
Q
What you need to understand is that we are first professional designers and developers, not a hosting company. Our primary focus is on providing you with great web design & corporate branding. Watch for "we-do-it-all-designers" that claim to offer hosting on secured servers, at inflated prices and locked-in contracts. Engaging a well known and reputable hosting company is a simple process and we will gladly assist you with these matters, if you'd rather handle everything yourself.
We can, however, host your site through our Co-op Package. Our Hosting & Maintenance package is a co-op, consolidation plan targeted primarily for business owners and companies who do not have the time, patience, skills, and/or interest to maintain their website and who need to be focusing on their business tasks & customers (especially during these economic times).
This method of hosting allows us to extend our focused attention to your account and offer on-going maintenance and business support services. For only $15-25 per month (depending on your needs) we provide hosting AND on-going maintenance for your website (includes the domain name, storage, email(s), phone support and more).
Whenever you need changes made you just simply need to call, or email us with your request, from our Client Area page. It's an easy, convenient service that is meant to help you increase your operational efficiency and not have to worry about third-party communication, or new, vital account related information. We take care of everything for you.

If you already have a website and would like to get a new design while keeping the same domain and/or hosting company, we will create the new site using our own design tools & software then manage or assist in the upload/transfer process (cost included in quote).
For clients requiring full control of their website and needing to make very frequent changes, we set you up with a Content Management System (CMS), at an additional cost. If you're interested, ask us for more details.

Proofread for errors.
A simple spelling error can drive away users. We proofread your site and fix any mistakes.
Logos or Brand Names.
If your site has a logo or brand name, we include this on every page so the user knows exactly where they are at all times.
Flash.
We're careful when using Flash, since it deters search engine spiders and increases loading time. Instead, we focus on keyword-rich content rather than bandwidth-hogging multimedia.
Sound.
Most users find automatically generated sound on a web site extremely distracting and irritating. We only use it if necessary/requested.
Pop-ups.
Pop-ups are annoying at best. We avoid using them for any reason.
Can I/We register a new website/domain through you hosting company and leave the design up to you?
Q
Yes. If you'd like to have access to your account and billing information and be able to log in so you can make occasional changes to the content of your site, we can help.
We'll provide you with detailed instructions on how to set up your account and website through our hosting supplier, or we can take care of that for you. Then, we'll custom design the site, from scratch, and set it up just the way you want it. Afterwards, you can change the login information/password to ensure your full control over the site.
First, have you ever studied sites that have been created by business owners who were looking to save money and go cheap? We have. Extensively. And let's just say, a majority of them are not good. Don't get fooled into thinking you'll be able to have a professional looking website just because they can show you a portfolio of decent websites (mediocre at best) that have been created with their online program. You get what you pay for. If you pay nothing, what will you actually end up with?
At the same time, many people think that building a good website is about having the right software or design tools. Not necessarily. You could have the greatest tools but have no eye for design! Some designers, like ourselves, can produce better looking work with simple tools than others do with advanced tools. Why? We're front end designers, not "coders." We have an eye for design aesthetics and know about color schemes, image effects, navigation techniques, industry standards/best practices, and much more.

Why work with BrandRev when I could create a website for free?
Q
From our experience, if you go the do-it-yourself route your site will have an out-dated, template, unprofessional look (we can show you many poor examples that have been made with do-it-yourself sites). Those are the types of websites that BrandRev redesigns! They're nowhere near as good as what you get when working with a professional web design company, like BrandRev.
Everytime a business or group chooses to go the free route and design their site using templates, it adds to the poor misconception that design doesn't matter, and that having something online about your business is better than nothing! It is this mentality that causes tension between branding companies who have a sincere desire to improve/change "corporate" culture (like BrandRev) and business owners who don't understand the value of a strong identity and online presence.
If you agree even partially with this, we may be able to work together. We're here to help.

REVISE.
REFOCUS.
Yes, this would be a true collaborative process. Basically, if you already have a domain (or domains) registered with a hosting provider (such as networksolutions.com, godaddy, 1and1, etc.) but don't have the interest, time, or skills to set up and/or maintain your website(s), we can help you. We'll need your login information and specific directions as to what you want done (for example: setting up a new template and incorporating a new logo).
Once we've done our part, it's up to you to go in and make any changes to content. If you'll require regular

Q

changes to be made to things such as pictures, or icons, and don't want to worry about messing up content or design, we can provide maintenance services for only $20/month. This will cover any changes that need to be made. If you'd like us to handle the maintenance but don't want to pay monthly, we'll bill you at our regular hourly rate ($30) which is described in detail in our Web Design Agreement.
If you have any questions concerning this service, please feel free to contact us.
