What is your average turnaround time on a website you develop?

The average turnaround will vary from site to site. If the site requires extensive design and detailed content with frequent consultation, it will take longer than a basic site with only a few pages. Smaller scale websites can be developed within a few weeks, while larger scale websites may take a month or longer. If a prospective client has a specific deadline, we will make sure your project is complete by the proposed date!

If I know an athlete who might like and/or benefit from your services, how do I have that person get in touch with you?

If you know an athlete who could benefit from our services, you can submit a convenient referral form and we will respond within 24-48 hours. If you refer the athlete to our website, let him/her know that a Prospective Client Free Quote form can be filled out with no obligation to receive more information.

If you would like to make a referral or if you know somebody that would like to contact us through email, do so at referrals@athletewebservices.com. We also have a convenient toll free number: (800) 679-1686. To proceed to our site’s contact page, please click here. If you or somebody you know has any questions, be sure to contact us!

I already have my own domain name that I'd like to use for a site, but I am looking for somebody else to develop it. Would I be able to afford your services?

AWS will work with your specific needs. If you or someone you know already has a domain name registered that you would like to use, AWS will help you configure your domain name so it can be used with our servers. We work with our clients and show them the best service possible. AWS will strive to meet your budget with a quality website.

I have an existing domain name. Can I still use your services with that domain name?

Yes. All you will have to do is change your Domain Name Servers (DNS) to the AWS Domain Name Servers. An AWS representative will help you through this simple process free of charge.

I already have a website developed but am not happy with the developer and/or the current hosting company. How much would it cost to transfer hosting to Athlete Web Services, and would it be a hassle to do so?

AWS will help you with a quick, stress-free transfer process. If you like your current design, you can keep it and simply transfer the files along with changing your Domain Name Servers (DNS) to our servers (we can easily guide you through this simple process), and AWS will host your site. If you would like a new look and feel to the site, we can also consult with you a produce a free quote for a new design. The transfer of your site to AWS is free, and we will be glad to provide you with a free quote for hosting services that meet your specific needs.

To ensure no downtime to your website, DO NOT cancel your current web hosting account until 7 days after your domain name registrar has pointed your domain towards our servers. Also, for uninterrupted email, please setup the same POP3 accounts that you have with your current provider.

Will AWS place advertisements on my site?

Absolutely not, unless you have requested your website to be revenue-generating. If you have a revenue-generating site, you will have the option to approve of or disapprove of any advertisements that go on your website prior to their inclusion.

Does Athlete Web Services develop team web sites? I am on a team and we do not have a site. I think it would be a great thing to have for the fans.

AWS does provide services for design and development of team websites, and also offers maintenance and management contracts. We are in the process of building TeamWebServices.com, a subsidiary of Athlete Web Services, dedicated to building team-oriented web sites. We are experienced in the process of building a quality team and league websites, as you can see in our portfolio. For a quote on a team website, please fill out a convenient online quote form or e-mail us at: quotes@athletewebservices.com.

I noticed you do not have set pricing on your site. Why is that?

Every client’s needs are different and no site will be the same. That is why we take a look at the specific aspects that are involved in every site with design, development, content, hosting, maintenance, management and marketing options. One person may want a simple, two page information site, and the next person may want a 200 page, multi-level site with many applications. We construct package quotes on a case-by-case basis to assure that we meet client needs. If you would like a free quote, you can fill out an online quote form or contact us at quotes@athletewebservices.com.

Will I be the main (or only) point of contact through my site or are there services where you take care of visitor/fan interaction and communication?

AWS offers services that will take the headaches and time-consumption away from an athlete’s busy schedule. The athlete will decide how much interaction and contribution he or she would like to make to the site, and the AWS team will take care of the rest! We understand that some athletes would like full control of their site. If this is the case, no problem. AWS will help show you how to make interaction and site management easy on you.

How do I know if my domain name is already registered? If my first choice is already registered, what are acceptable domain name variations for a quality web site?

You can check domain names at any registrar on the internet. Many top name athlete domains are already registered, but most often by people whose intentions are only to sell the name in hopes for a high payout. This is referred to as cyber-squatting and registering a name in bad faith. AWS is a strong opponent of this practice and will help an athlete acquire a cyber-squatted name with the aid of our legal team, if so desired.

If a name is already taken, an acceptable alternative could be a nickname possibly in regards to your achievements or style of play (e.g. 3XMVP.com). You can also use your name followed by your number or position (e.g. YourName24.com or YourNameQB.com). You may also use .net and .org as a domain extension (keeping in mind .org is most commonly used for non-profit organizations). AWS will be glad to do the research for you and offer numerous examples, with the understanding that the domain name to be registered is ultimately up to you! If you wish for AWS to help you find, register and reserve a good domain name, feel free to fill out our convenient Domain Name Inquiry form or proceed to our contact us page.

If somebody has registered a domain that contains my first and last name (e.g. myname.com), do I have any legal rights in retrieving it? If so, would Athlete Web Services be able to help me do so?

Many times, domain name speculators or cyber-squatters register names in hopes that someone will pay them top dollar to acquire the name, with never any intentions do develop the site in good faith and put it to good use. There are laws governing this practice. AWS and our legal council work hand-in-hand with the athlete and representatives to acquire the rights of the domain if used illegally. If you feel you have been cyber-squatted, please contact us immediately to see what rights you have and what steps can be taken to retrieve the name.

I am a very busy person, and don't have a lot of free time. How much time would I have to dedicate to my own website project - from the initial consultation stage through the implementation and maintenance/management stage?

We understand that most athletes have an extremely demanding schedule. You can let us know how much say you would like in the project and how much time you would like to put in. The AWS team of designers and developers are extremely creative and have experience in completing projects in a timely manner. You won’t be disappointed with the results – we guarantee it!

I am an athlete that has formed a non-profit charitable organization. Can you develop and manage this type of site?

Yes, we are always glad to develop and manage non-profit websites. We have many different revenue-generating ideas for non-profit organizations, which ultimately will aid your charities of choice. Please contact us for further details.
