Do I need programming skills to implement a website?

No. Vipa Suite is a centralized environment where users can build and manage websites. 

I like to do business locally, how can I be sure that I will still have control over the project?

With over ten years of industry experience, Vipa Solutions provides proven best practices for the deployment and maintenance of your website. By developing a relationship with your account coordinator, it feels like your support team is in your own office. 

Why a license instead of separate installs?

By licensing Vipa Suite clients gain 24 hour access from any computer via the web and always have access to the latest and greatest interactive developments from Vipa Solutions. 

Does Vipa Suite handle social media?

Will Vipa Solutions host my email?

Vipa Solutions does not host email, but can provide you with suggestions for corporate email hosting solutions. 

Are your sites template based?

There are no design templates that the agency must adhere to. When the design is implemented into Vipa Suite the photoshop files are sliced up and templates are created based on that design, giving you the ability to manage content site wide. 

I am a small business, would Vipa Solutions be able to help me?

You can partner with your agency for design services, or Vipa Solutions will recommend one of our great partners.
