Specializing in Affordable Web Design and Graphics for the Small Business
Website Design Process
- We meet together to discuss your needs, either through phone, email or in person. There is no cost for this. We'll talk about the function as well as the look you want for your website.
- If you don't have a domain name or hosting company, I can help you find one.
- If you do have a domain name and/or hosting company, I will need the passwords to access it.
- It is helpful to have copies of your logo, your colors, business card, your stationery, etc., if you have them.
- It is also helpful if you have looked at the sites you like and don't like and provide me links.
- I'll need to know the various pages (menu items) that you will need. I can help you determine this if you need me to.
- I will give you a quote. Take a look at my rate page to see what this might be.
- I will send you a contract expressing what we have discussed in person. After receiving your signed contract, I will mock up 2-3 designs based on what we have discussed (except on the super budget rates which get one simple design).
- One third of the cost will be paid up front at the time of signing the contract, one third will be paid when the design is finalized and the template is made and the last third when the site is complete.
- After you approve a design, I will make it up into a web site template.
- Then I will begin adding content to each page (which is provided by you).
- The process normally take about a month, but if you are slow at getting me content, it will be longer.
