Graphic Design FAQ's:
Why do I need a web site?
Everyone goes to the web for information now. If you don't
have a web site, or if your site is old-fashioned and boring, you're
going to lose business. Even before they pick up the phone,
people check the internet to make sure they can find what they're
looking for. With a clear, professional web site that
showcases you or your business, you will attract attention. A
web site is an invaluable and necessary tool.
A web site is working for you 24 hours a day, 7
days a week. It's always "on", always providing current
information about you/your business. And web sites are
non-intrusive. People visit them of their own free will and
this makes them a great information tool. Instead of
inundating people when they're not interested, you can say "check
out my web site". It makes a huge difference.

I’m a starving actor/playwright/director/musician. How can I afford a web
site?
Compared to your average Joe Web Site Company, TheaterLoop is
extremely affordable. Like headshots, programs, or a set, a
web site is a necessity. If you make it a
priority, you can afford it. And the responses you get will
pay for the site over and over. We just completed a site for
an author and she is selling books like crazy, all over the world.
The hardest thing about being in the arts is getting noticed.
Agents and casting directors receive so many headshots that they
don't even have time to open the envelopes. And there are
innumerable theater companies, so it's almost impossible to generate
an audience by word of mouth alone. That's why having a web
site is so helpful.
Your résumé/headshot/gig schedule are extremely
important. When you have a web site, it can easily be updated. It's
the best way for people to get current information about you.
And a web site can be very detailed, including photos, reviews,
music clips, reels, etc.
How long will it take to finish the web site?
Depending on the size of the site, it will take 2 to 4 weeks to
complete. A more accurate estimation will be provided at your
first meeting.
