Website Design Process

So you're ready to begin the process of designing your website - great!  Planning is the most important step in the success of your website.  Here is a summary of the steps that lead to a timely and successful website:

Step 1: Web Design Questionnaire
Our questionnaire helps us to gather the necessary information in order to begin designing your site. Please click here to fill it out online.

Step 2: Initial Consultation
We include a one hour initial consultation in the price of your website. The consultation is a brainstorming session where we discuss your needs, the purpose of your website, and target market.

Step 3: Proposal
After a solid plan is in place for your web site design, we can prepare an accurate proposal for its development.  When accepted and deposit is received as outlined in the agreement, we will get started on the initial mockup of your site.

Step 4: Site Content
You will be required to provide us with all textual content and photographs, unless you have hired us for copy writing services. It is a good idea for you to get all your content ready while we are working on your mockup, as we will need it in order to begin working on the site.  Please see our Website Content Gathering Guide for important details.  Please keep in mind that all content is protected by copyright law and it is not legal for you to use "borrowed" text or pictures without first obtaining permission from their rightful owners.

Step 5: Initial Layout
An initial concept for the design of your site is created based on information you have given us. This will be your opportunity to make layout revisions, if so desired. Layout revision requests after this step will incur additional charges.

Step 6: Web Site Completion
Once the site is complete, you will be given the opportunity to go through it and prepare a "punch out" list noting any errors or omissions that need to be corrected.

Step 7: Web Site Launch
Once the site is complete and we have received your final approval, we will upload your website files to your hosting account, and bill you for the balance due on the project.
