General FAQ
What type of clients will Quiver Creative Studios service?
We service every type of client, big and small. Some of the clients we service are: start-up’s, small business, restaurant, fitness & wellness, real estate, commercial services, hospitality, professional services, yoga studios, fashion, local municipality, county parks & recreation, , personal blogs, non-profit, golf courses, athletics & more.
Do you really service EVERY type of client?
We will always try our best to support any client. But we are not like every other service provider. If we do not believe we are the right fit, we’ll refer you to a service or solutions provider who can better support your needs.
That seems unconventional and unusual, why would you turn away business?
We do not turn away business, but we are intent on putting every client first. Your success comes before our own and we do not believe in forcing ourselves onto a client if it’s just not the right fit for their needs. While this is rare, we still believe that honesty is the best policy and do not want to waste your time, our time or, more importantly, your money.
How much do your services cost?
We are glad you asked! When it comes to creative services, there is rarely a ‘standard rate’ for everything. Yes, some of our products do have a flat rate, but most creative services are customized. There is most certainly a ‘baseline’ or ‘ballpark’ cost, but no two projects are always the exact same. This is why we provide hassle-free and complimentary consultations.
What is the 'turn around' time for completion?
This question is most often asked in regard to website design. Typical website development has a two or three week lead time. But where there is more complexity and content requirements there is more production time required. We provide specific timelines based on complexity, scope of work and assumption of the initial down payment being received in a timely manner. In general, most other creative services such as logo creation, email marketing strategies or reputation management can be completed within one to two weeks.
In the event you are interested in booking visual production services, such as photography, drone or video, we recommend that you contact us to have a brief consultation discussion so that we can provide you with the most accurate turn-around timeline.
Web Services FAQ
What's involved with developing a website?
When we develop your website we make it a very simple process. We’ll guide you throughout and educate you along the way. Why?

Your pitch sounds good, but really, what happens?
At the core, we believe in three critical principals; form, fit and function. If your website isn’t visually appealing, meet the expectations you have and provide an intuitive user experience, it’s not what you need.

Do you provide analytics and SEO with a website design?
Yes. We provide the core analytical components and baseline SEO configuration in every website project that we build out.

We don’t play games like that because what good is a website if your customers cannot find you? We integrate the features that will provide you with visibility in Google and other search engines, as well as connect you with an app on your phone to monitor the traffic and visitor data, both historical and in real-time.

If you would like to establish an ongoing relationship so that we can handle your website housekeeping, we are happy to discuss any potential service arrangement so that you have total website peace of mind.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) FAQ
What's is SEO?
SEO literally stands for search engine optimization. This term relates to the steps taken and techniques to improve a website which intend to make it more ‘visible’ in organic search results.

What's the difference between 'free' and 'paid' SEO?
Free refers to the organic results appearing in search engines based on an algorithm. Paid for search results are ones that typically appear immediately on top or at the side of a page. These links are paid for by advertisers so they appear on search engines and other pages.
Do you include SEO with website designs?
Yes. We include the ‘free’ version. This consists of core analytical components and fundamental configuration for every website that we build. No, this is not common. Most other companies build your website and then try to sell you this as an additional service. We don’t believe in this approach because a website is only good when it’s visible for your customers to find you. We provide you with the basics to help your visibility, connect your social media and set you up with an app on your phone to monitor the traffic and data in real-time.

Meta descriptions are the small snippet of text which appears below your website link in any search engine result and explains what that particular page is about.

Keywords are the literal words or terms that you incorporate into a relevant page on your website which are intended to encourage a particular page to show up in search engine results.

What are sitemaps?
Sitemaps are index files of your website pages that we submit to search engines which provide a quick reference to expedite the identity of content on your site which you would like to be associated with in relevant search results.
What is image alt text?
Search engines do not have the ability to read or interpret images, but they can identify and read text. Therefore, the text associated with an image will allow search engines to know what and image is associated with on your site. This also helps when a page will not load for any reason so that you do not miss an opportunity to appear in a search result.
How soon will results from SEO begin to show?
There are several elements which determine how quick or slow SEO results happen which include, but are not limited to:
- The volume of website content
- Effectiveness of website content
