GETTING STARTED BUILDING YOUR WEBSITE

Initially, you may wish to look at other websites in order to get an idea of what styles you like. Think about your target audience: what information is most important to have on your website. Think about colors, content, a logo, and photographs that you would like to include. If you are unsure about all that, don't worry. We will help you through the entire process.  

Contact me by email so that we can discuss the ideas you have about how you would like your new website to look. At that time we can discuss hosting, layout and what pages you would like to include. After I have a general idea of what your website will consist of, I will be able to provide you with an estimate of what the cost will be.

The ideal way to provide us with graphic images for your site is to supply them in a computerized format such as  jpg, gif, tiff, png, or svg. If you don't have computer images available then we can also use printed, scannable material such as brochures, photographs.  

The  best way to provide us with the text for your web site is in a computerized document format such as Microsoft Word. This will speed up the process. You should store your content and send it to us  on CD or floppy. You may also email the text data for your website. If you do not have any text in electronic format, you can provide hand written or printed material. This will slow down the process and in some cases cost more money.  

Once a contract is signed, one half of the estimated cost will be due before the work begins. The initial template is designed and approved along with a skeleton of the entire site.  

During the construction process, your website will be uploaded for preview. I will ask for your comments and/or changes via email or telephone. The work will continue until you are completely satisfied.  

After receiving your approval and payment for the remaining balance, your website will be copied to the host of your choice!
