Frequently Asked Questions  -  Business Info

Why another "Internet" Information Company? Many websites provide searching methods, for selling cars, real estate and just about any service you can think of...and some you haven't.  None of them target your specific buyers with all the different products and services in one "online" location.  Quik-Info fills that void and makes it easy to find goods and services in the consumers' local area.  We service the southern Ohio area.
What makes us different? Quik-Info has targeted "local information" that the consumer can use.  Quik-Info includes the local business listings, organized by their business category, for easy searches by the website visitor.  Businesses that are available locally - not half way across the country. 

We have also included the opportunity for notices for used cars, motorcycles, homes, apartments for rent, restaurants and other specials/coupons in our Online Classifieds

You say "quick and easy" to use, what do you mean by that? Quik-Info has been designed to function much like your telephone book.  If you know the alphabet and how to use the telephone book you can use Quik-Info.   With just a few "clicks" of your mouse, you should yield results. 
Are "pop-up" advertising windows a problem on your site? NO!  Quik-Info considers advertising pop-ups annoying and an invasion of your website viewing.  We will use sidebars, banners and coupons for advertising but not in a way that detracts from the primary purpose of the site.  Only when you "link" away from the Quik-Info site would you encounter those annoying advertising "pop-ups".
One-page web?  What does it mean and what is the size of a one-page web? This Question & Answer web page can be used as a good example of a "one page" web.  It consists of just one web page, but is approximately five display screens in length when scrolled down and only one display screen in width.  The lengths of a "one page" web will vary depending on the information to be displayed.  It can range from one full screen to several.  Research has shown the consumer is adverse to lengthy web pages.  The maximum that we recommend is five  (display screens when scrolled down).  The number and size of any images to be included on the page will also determine the length of the web page.  Too many images will slow down the loading of the web page for the viewer.

We also recommend that the web page be kept to only one display screen in width.  Most website visitors aren't adverse to scrolling down several web pages, but dislike scrolling to the right and then back again to the left.

Additional pages.  What's that about? We can add (link) additional web pages to your main Quik-Info business web page expanding your opportunity to fully advertise your products.  Could be used to advertise specials and other "lost leader" items to encourage customers. 

This option allows businesses to customize or "theme" their particular site, covering just certain goods and services.  An actual example can be seen at www.Fayette-Carpet.com.  Several web pages have been used to display their products, services along with their photos.

What's the "Quik-Info-Ads" Online Classifieds website all about? It is basically designed to work just like the print medium.  It provides an avenue for people to advertise "garage sales" and other miscellaneous sale items and for the local Automotive Dealers to display their vehicles, Real Estate Companies to display their homes and other businesses to promote their goods and services. 

The Online Classifieds works to draw potential customers to the Quik-Info website.  It's another tool to increase the visibility of Quik-Info and thus your business.  The database and photo capabilities of the Online Classifieds makes it ideal for listing autos, trucks, homes, coupons etc.

What's the advantages of having a ".com" (domain name) for our business? Having a ".com" (domain name/website address) can give your business that additional professional appearance.  You'll be able to display your website address on business cards, brochures and flyers, vehicles, office windows and doors,  just to name a few of the many types of advertising possibilities.
What can we do if we have little or no computer experience? We provide FREE "on-site" training for you and/or your staff when you subscribe to one of our business plans.  Whether the training is just to enable you to utilize your "email" messages or to add/post your Auto, Home or Coupon classified listings.  We will train you with using your email and/or on our Online Classifieds program, until you are knowledgeable with them. 

Our Online Classifieds program is quite user friendly and can readily be learned without much assistance.  But, we are here to help should the need arise.  So don't let the lack of computer experience stop you from stepping into the 21st century.....now is the time to get online!

Do we need a computer to have a business web page on Quik-Info? No.  You only need a computer if you would like to receive email messages.

Most business websites provide a "contact us" link for emailing messages, but it is not a requirement.  You may have a home computer, but not one at your business location.  In this situation you could have your business web page "contact us" link send the email messages to your home computer for you to review.  Or leave the "contact us" link off of your web page and let the website visitor telephone you.

Even if you don't have a computer, we can get your business online for visitors to view 24/7, 365 days a year.  We can create your business web page, per your instructions, and give a demonstration at your business location by using one of our laptop computers.

We only have one phone line to our business, will we need to obtain an additional phone line? No.  But, should you want to be able to accept incoming calls while you are online you can purchase a telephone line "switch box" that is totally automatic and requires no software installation.  They are normally available for less than $50.00.  This "switch box" enables you to be on the internet and still receive incoming calls.  This will require you to have the "Call Waiting Service" from your local telephone company.
