| Q. Why should I advertise here
on Indiana Film? |
| A. By placing
an ad on this domain you are assured high ranking if not #1 ranked hit from most of the
popular search engines for film or video production in Indiana. No matter how great
your website is, it's useless if it cannot easily be found by your target audience. |
| Q. I don't have a website and
don't really think I need one so isn't this a waste of money? |
| A. Considering
that newspapers charge 6-12 dollars a line in classifieds, and radio or television ads
cost much, much more, internet advertising is the most cost efficient advertising
surpassed only by word-of-mouth. Plus, a website offers more detailed information
than you can affordably provide on the traditional venues. |
| Q. I know nothing about making
a website can you make one for me? |
| A. Yes.
Click on the D2 below the menu buttons or click the D2 down at bottom of the page in the
copyright notice. If you already have a website there is no additional charge for
the basic sign-up rate which includes one site link and one email link. If you have
neither email or website, then D2 can arrange hosting and email as well. |
| Q. Are you some kind of web
company that is trying to fill a niche without any real knowledge of film or video
production? |
| A. No.
D2 is Donahoe Designs which is at the moment just Michael Donahoe. My web business
is young and starting out but I have been working freelance in the Indianapolis market
since 1993. I started out, as most do, as a production assistant, and now work as a
first A.C. and occasionally as a camera operator. I have seen a need for some sort
of web community for the production industry for a few years now and all costs to operate
Indiana Film come from my pocket. This site is not tax payer subsidized so there is
a need for rates to sustain it. |
| Q. Ok how about some
guarantees? How stable is your system? What is your connect speed to the web? |
| A. This domain
is hosted by www.rhino-tech.com and
is backed up daily. Rhino was on a full ISDN when this site first went online in
November 1999. As of January 2000, Rhino Technologies has upgraded to a DSL (Digital
Service Line). This is considerably more bandwidth than the ISDN. It is of my
opinion that this site is not, nor likely will ever be, hi-volume (8-10k hits a day or
more) so at this time a DSL is fine. However, the more people / companies that host with
Rhino Technologies the more active the domain becomes and the more income for Rhino to use
toward a T1 connection should it become neccessary |
