Why do I need a website?
A website is one of the most economical ways to promote your business to a worldwide audience without limitations of locale.
How can a website be a marketing tool?
Your website can function as a brochure (without printing costs), which gives people instant access online to your company and contact information. Adding a blog for your news updates makes your site more dynamic, which in turn help you with search engine rankings.

Once you are ready, purchase your domain name and webhosting, then order webservices from us. Provide your content and pictures for upload to your site. Follow the development of your site while we get it ready in 14 days or less.
What is the Starter package?
If you only want a blog to post regular updates or news, the Starter package is for you. To take advantage of the low $50 price, you have to buy webhosting through our Bluehost affiliate link. The reason we can keep the basic web package so low, is that we earn a (one-time) commission when you buy hosting through our link. Note that Bluehost includes one domain name with your webhosting.
Can I manage my own site?
Yes you can. We use WordPress which is very easy to learn and you can get tutoring from us to learn the basics. This will allow you to upload your own posts or articles.
What is a certified translator?
A certified translator has completed a formal (university) program of education and received a certificate of translation upon passing the required examination.
What is the difference between a translation and interpretation?
Translation transfers written text from one language into another, on paper. Interpretation does the same but in a spoken language and occurs immediately.
What is localization?
Localization is the translation of a website or program into the target language of the intended audience or market.
Do you charge extra for rush jobs?
Yes, because rush jobs take us away from other projects we’re working on and we have to put in extra hours to finish the rush project quicker. It’s like working overtime.
Why is the final bill for translations more/less than the quote I received?
A quote is an estimate based on the source text, while the final bill is based on the wordcount of the actual translation. Some languages require more or less words for proper translation.
Do you have a privacy policy?
Yes, our policy serves to protect the site user’s privacy, promising not to sell or publish information collected through online registration or order placement without permission.
