Additional examples of web sites, ads or other design work available
upon request. |
| I
know what product I want to offer and I have an idea of how I want
to display it. How do I get started putting it all together? |
|
Send
us or we can pick up, any information packet with what you would
like on your web site. Include your business card, brochures, catalogs,
or a standard business information packet. Find several examples
of web sites on the internet that attract your attention and include
their URL's in your information to us. Send a variety of photographs,
if desired. If sent via email, must be in .jpg or .gif format. ~
Original photos are best, but we can also work from good quality
images in brochures, catalogs, etc. NOTE: ALL professionally done
photos must have the photographer's permission to allow use on the
Internet and each photo must include the photographer's name if
applicable. Let us know of any forms or specific information you
want included in your web site. Send example (s) of your logo (s)
if you have any. |
| What
is necessary to get my web site on the Internet and noticed? |
|
Develop
an idea of what product you want to market and how you want to display
it. Create a web site that portrays your product or service up front
in a format that is easy to read, understand, and navigate. Post your
web site on a server or host that attracts clients. Submit your site
to both free and paid search engines for maximum exposure. Distribute
your URL on business cards, brochures, your storefront, your car!
- anywhere the public will see it. |
| How
much does it cost and when do you want the money? |
|
Upon
receiving your order for web site design or maintenance and after
discussion of the details (like dominating colors, number of pages,
need for programming. etc.) we calculate the price for your project.
(See Price List) Then we offer you several
designs of your site and you choose the most appealing of the options.
At this point we require a prepayment of 30% of the total estimated
price.
The rest of the sum is paid upon completion of the project. We deliver
you the zipped package of HTML pages and images and your site goes
online after the final payment. |
| What
is the web design process you use to create a web site? |
|
Using
your input, I first design a "rough draft" of the web
site for your review. I will email this "rough draft"
via a temporary, free web host which allows you to see what your
site looks like. Remember - this is an initial draft of your site.
In no way will you be locked into this design. You are free to make
changes at any time during the design project. Once you approve
of the web design, I can upload it the permanent web host/server
you choose. The site will have already been tested for functionality
and appearance. |
| Can
I see my web site during this process? |
|
I
will provide you with a URL where you can view the progress of your
web site at any time. I encourage you to communicate with me, preferably
via email, with comments, suggestions, modifications, anything to
make your web site exactly what you want it to be. |
| Anything
else I need to do while my web site is being created? |
|
You
should select a web host, if you don't already have one. I can provide
you with some suggestions, but it's ultimately up to you to decide
upon and sign up with a host. You are responsible for monthly payments
to the host of your choice. Decide on a maintenance plan for your
web site once it goes live. Once you are
delighted with your web site I will post it live on the internet.
At this time, your second and final payment is due and payable. Maintenance
invoices will be sent to you monthly, if it is part of your web design
package. |
| What
happens when my web site is posted online? |
|
I
will notify you when your site is live. Search engine registrations
will be generated, if it is part of your web design package. Once
online, it takes about 4-6 weeks or more for your URL to be added
to search engines and their directories. If you include an email address
or a form in your web site, responses will go directly to that address
as soon as someone sends one to you. Also, you should begin advertising your URL in other media,
such as business cards, catalogs, flyers, brochures, the side of your
vehicle! |
