MuseArts Frequently Asked Questions

How do you say that again?
"Muse" as in Music + "Arts"
Muse-Arts. MuseArts. Rolls right off your tongue.

What is MuseArts?
MuseArts is a digital design company providing interesting and worthwhile services to all kinds of organizations.

What do MuseArtians do?
We are a versatile team of designers, writers, artists, programmers, and project consultants who can create a dazzling array of graphic, web, and information media. Recently, we've created 3-D animation for a theme park interactive, Flash interactives for several Internet companies, a company and web database for a publishing firm, and web sites for a select group of clients. We've also learned a lot about new media, and we're excited about the latest possibilities.

How much does a web site cost?
It depends on your goals, your timetable, and your audience. Most sites average about 100 hours of work, some require more and some less. Contact us with specifics and we'll give you a firm quote.

Can you work over distance?
We've created web sites and animation for clients in Florida, California, Iowa, New York, and Washington DC, as well as the metro Boston area. We have no problem completing an entire project from afar—provided you have Internet access.

Do you do animated thingies?
Yes we do, in gif animation, QuickTime, and Flash for the web. Ask about other formats for other media.

Can you do those rollover thingies?
Yes we can. We do them all the time.

Are you guys really any better than my brother-in-law?
Most likely, unless your brother-in-law is a team of experienced web designers with a business background.

Will you host us?
Sure. We have lots of hosting options for you to choose from on a solid network running Unix or NT. We also do site maintenance if you'd like us to handle updates to your site.

Do you do print?
No, unfortunately, print is a science unto itself and therefore alien to us. We do wonderful screen art, optimized for any purpose.

Do you accept credit cards?
For the time being, no. We do largely business-to-business, so this hasn't been a problem. If it gets to be a problem, we'll adapt.

Can you recommend strategies, products, or services?
Yes, in our areas of expertise: web business, desktop computing, software, and the like.

Can you do our whole site for us and we won't have to do anything?
Yes, although we may ask you questions from time to time.

How much would that cost?
Depends on how much site you have, how frequently it's updated, how it's updated, traffic, server requirements, and more. Contact us and we can give you a call to discuss your needs.

So, do you do Windows?
Yes we do, but we much prefer Macs.

Unix or NT?
Can there be any question?
