The Website Design & Development Process

Step 1) Consultation:

Every website design project starts with a basic, no cost, no obligation consultation to learn about your business, your expectations and objectives in setting up your website. The consultation aims at assisting you to develop a realistic plan to market your products or services on the Internet via your website. We will honestly tell you what you can and cannot realistically expect to get from your website investment.

We'll advise you on ways to promote your site and draw increased traffic to your website to maximize its effectiveness. We won't "over sell" you on something you don't want or need. But our broad experience in marketing, advertising, sales promotion and search engine technology, will help you determine what is right for your company and your emerging Web marketing strategy.

Step 2) Proposal:

We always supply a written proposal and quote in advance for your approval. Based on our consultation with you, together we will determine a basic website outline and development strategy for your Internet presence. Should the project change significantly during the development stages, we guarantee no additional costs without your approval in writing in advance to any and all changes.

Step 3) Website Design Mockup:

Once we receive your approval on our written proposal and you engage us to begin work on your website, we will begin the design process. The first phase of the design process includes creating a rough draft mockup of your website based on the criteria your provided to us about your business. We take a lot of different items into consideration when building your website so that your website will reflect an active, fresh and up-to-date extension of your business.

Step 4) Approval, Development and Delivery:

After you have reviewed your design mockup and submitted revisions, we will take the appropriate steps to upload your website to the World Wide Web making it live and accessible to anyone in the world.

Step 5) On-Going Maintenance & Updates:

Your website won't need further maintenance, but if needed, we will continue to keep in contact with you after your website has been developed and launched to help with any maintenance or updates that may be needed along the road. Our rates for website maintenance are affordable and allows your business to keep a fresh image.


Every Website Requires Three Things

Every website we create for you includes all that is needed to put your business on the web - right in front of your customers. Domain Name and website hosting fees are very minimal (about $250 per year) and are to be expected as without the three items below, no company not even eBay or Microsoft would have a functioning website.

  • Domain Name:

    A Domain Name is the universal address of your website. You need a domain name and it should probably be your company name, to make it simple. Avoid fancy or long names and names with hyphens or common misspellings. We are more than happy to advise and assist you in the selection and registration of your domain name.
     
  • Website Hosting:

    You will also need web hosting, to store your web pages, and make them accessible to people surfing the internet. Expect to pay around $250.00 to $360.00 per year for on-going website hosting.
     
  • Website Design & Development:

    You will also need to have web pages created for your website. Web pages are the individual pages that make up an entire website. Some of the main web pages on this website are Home, About Us, Services, Portfolio, Request a Free Quote, etc. The design of these web pages is where we play the biggest role. Domain Names and Website Hosting are just features that are needed to implement a website. The design and development process is needed to create the overall design, integrate your brand and developing strategies to showcase your products or services.
