If you have never had a website built before, you may be wondering how all of this works? Let me put your mind at ease, and describe for you our web design process:
- Initial Consultation – we listen to your requirements and objectives & get clarification where needed. We can talk over the phone or in person.
- Client Survey – to ensure that we understand your site’s objectives, we have an effective survey that will help you share your vision with us before we get started. This is a critical step.
- Research and Site Infrastructure – taking the information we received in the initial consult and the client survey, we develop a plan for how your website will be built. This includes if your site is going to be self-managed, if you need a shopping cart, if you need a blog, if you need custom work or a purchased software solution. We use our expertise to create the perfect solution for your business!
- Create Proposal – you will receive an itemized listing of your projects costs. Also includes the expected time for completion.
- Project Agreement – this document is used to let both parties know what is expected of them and when. Once the agreement is signed, work will commence.
- Purchase Your Domain Name – we will procure your domain name for you and manage this process for you along the way. If you are not familiar with how domains work, don’t worry. We’ll manage all of that for you.
- Site Design – We will create a new design for your website and submit it to you in image (jpeg) format. You never have to settle for a design. We guarantee it 100%! If you are unhappy with the design, we either make the requested changes or start over given your feedback. Once you are 100% happy, we move on to the next step.
- Convert Design to a Website – this is where we convert the design you approved into a working website. You will be sent a temporary URL so you can monitor the creation of your site.
- Gather / Add Page Content – we do not write content for the pages for your website, because you are the expert for your business. We will however, provide you with assistance and marketing advice on how to create your content. Once you have your content (text and images) for your pages, please email it to us and we incorporate it into the site for you.
- Search Engine Optimization – Your site is built so that it can be found and indexed in the major search engines
- Site Launch -Once you give the site your final stamp of approval, we will launch the website. We will also help you setup your email accounts at this time as well.
