Step One: The Decision Phase
Website Development EstimateIf you have not already done so, you will want to take some time to think about what you wish to accomplish with your new website. Determine if you will need any special functionality or interactivity with your visitors; consider the type of design style which appeals to you and then be sure to let us know.
Then, when you are ready, please request your free, no-obligation website design estimate.
Needs Analysis
Based on the information you provided when requesting your website
design estimate, we attempt to determine your needs, what you are
expecting from your website, and try to get a feel for your industry.
This is why it is important for you to be as detailed as possible
when requesting your quote.
If we have questions for you to help clarify certain issues, we will
clarify those before giving an estimate on your project. We'll then
put together a list few ideas for you to look at, along with an estimate
of what the project will cost.
Initial Deposit
A 50% deposit is required before we schedule a time slot for your
project. The remainder of your balance will be due upon project
completion. Once we have received your 50% deposit, we will provide
you with a project start date. All projects are scheduled on a "first
come, first served" basis.
Domain name registration / Website Hosting
If needed, we will immediately secure your desired domain name
(pending availability) and include the first 2 years of service.
The domain is registered in your name with your information and you will
be the only registrant contact on file.
If you require hosting services, we recommend GoDaddy for hosting services. Many of our clients host their websites with GoDaddy and they have great server uptime, lots of features as well as good customer support.

Step Two: The Graphic Design Phase
Project Begins
Upon receipt of your deposit and contract (if applicable), the developer
in charge of your project will email you to confirm receipt of your deposit, give
you their direct contact information and possibly provide a list of items which
will be needed from you over the course of development.
You will need to let us know the navigation links you would like (such as home, about us, services, etc) and supply all text and product information to be included on your site. You may also supply material such as company logo, personal photos, etc, if desired. If you have any sites you would like us to refer to when designing your site or if you have any preference as to colors or style, please offer that information as well.
Ideally, all of the above information should be supplied prior to us getting started. Work will commence on your scheduled start date and the developer in charge of your project will contact you on that day to confirm that we are getting started.
Custom-Built Website Design Concepts
We will provide up to three possible custom designed home page concepts
for your project.
After you have reviewed the designs and decided which one you would like to use, we will continue to make modifications to the design until the final desired look is achieved. Once the final desired look is achieved, we will create the interior page layout, convert the design to HTML, add programming, etc.
In-Progress Viewing and Updates
We establish a private directory for your new website on our testing
server so that you may view the website development progress at
any time. In addition, your project manager will inform you via
email when extensive updates to the site have been made so you
can review the most recent progress.
Professional Stock Photography
All projects include use of professional stock photography images
from our current library. If a client requires stock photography
which we do not currently possess, an additional fee may apply.
