Things to think about in advance

There are many variables to take into account when planning your website design. By spending a few moments thinking about some of the basics, we can get a better idea of what you're after. Please don't feel obligated to come up with "Final" answers; these points to consider are intended to give you a head start on the information we need to cover in our initial consultation.

• Who is your target audience? What are your expectations for having a web site? Are you aiming your site to the general public? Professionals? The elderly? Artists? Do want to sell merchandise online?
• How do you envision the organization of information; how many pages? Even the smallest web sites usually require a few pages...a Home page, About Us page and Contact us page. Perhaps your web site needs a few pages to display your products? Or dynamic pages such as Company News or periodic New Service offerings.
• Text: Do you have text written that can be modified for the website? Or does new copy need to be written? We promise you that we will take the time to get it right the first time. Too often we see websites provided by "professional" web designers that contain appalling misspellings or phonetically incorrect phrasing. We will take your ideas and make them come alive. Put our pride in perfectionism to work for you!
• Visual Design: Most web sites require at least some graphic elements. Is there a specific color scheme you would need to use, or a particular logo? Do you want complex graphics or would you prefer a simple, sparse look for your site? What kind of "feel" do you want your web site designer to create for your site? We can take digital photographs of your Products, Personnel or Facility or scan your film or prints to make them available for your website. We can digitize your company's logo or design a logo for you!

• Are there other web sites that you like? It's perfectly acceptable to use other web sites as inspiration for your own. Keep a list of websites that you like and try to note what it is it that you like about them. Is it the color? The way the information is organized? The simplicity of the graphics? The flashy, high-tech look?
• Forms: Do you need any pages that collect information from your visitors and then automatically forward the information to you in email? For example, visit our Job Quote Form.
• "Shopping cart": Do you want to sell products online via an automated "shopping cart"? Or will a simple "fill in the blanks" form work just as well?
• Number of products: About how many individual products do you want to sell on your website? Take into account different styles, colors, sizes of a particular item.

The process of getting you online

• Register domain name. This should be done as early as possible with a reputable registration service. We can do this as part of your web design package. The cost of a domain name is $15 per year. Other places charge as much as $35 per year and up.
• Organization and site architecture; basically, figuring out which pages go where, what information will be on them, etc.
• Website design & layout of visual concept. Based on our discussions, We'll design a site within 2-3 days for you to evaluate as a starting point for arriving at the final design.
• Finalize your website design. During this phase, good communication is crucial to ensure that the final result matches your ideas.
• Addition of text and pictures into final web site pages, finalization of layout, and testing of all aspects of site.
• Final web site approval. Finalize all text and layout, test for usability.
• Arrange web site hosting. This is an outside service that we can arrange for you. A reliable website host costs about $10-20 a month for most sites. If you choose to arrange hosting before your website is finalized, We will provide for you a "Coming Soon" page with basic contact info immediately at no extra charge.
• "Go live" with site - We'll post it online, accessible to the public.
• Register with search engines. This is an optional, although highly recommended, final step in putting your web site online. This assures that your web site is seen by potential customers when using online search tools.
• Archive Initial Site. We'll give you a CD that contains your complete website. You paid for it, you deserve a copy for yourself.
