Web site Development Quote
If you have not already done so, you will want to take some time to think about what you wish to accomplish with your new web site. 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.

Needs Analysis
Based on the information you provided when requesting your web site design quote, we attempt to determine your needs, what you are expecting from your web site, 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. We may have questions for you to help clarify certain issues and we will express those before quoting on your project. If we believe that your web site development project could benefit from our services and skills, we will quote you on your project.

Web site Contract
Once we have come to an agreement on project details, timeline and price, we will prepare a web site development contract for you to review, sign and send back with your deposit.

Initial Deposit
The signed contract and 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 and signed contract, we will provide you with a copy of the fully executed contract, a receipt for your deposit and your project start date. All projects are scheduled on a “first come, first served” basis.

Domain name registration / Web site 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 had requested hosting services, we can help by recommend a company and have them get in touch with you. These are separate charges payable directly to the hosting company.

Graphic Design Phase

Project Begins
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/or product information to be included on your site. In addition, you may also supply material such as company logo, personal photos, etc, if desired. If you have any guide sites you would like us to refer to when designing your site or if you have any preference as to colors, style, etc please offer that information as well. For E-Commerce sites that require us to enter products for you, we will need you to supply an Excel spread sheet listing the following: Product Name, Unique Product ID Number (if any), Product Description, Options (if any – size, color, etc), Price, Approximate Weight, Number in Stock, as well as the product photos named in correspondence with the Product ID Number on the spread sheet.
Ideally, all of the above information should be supplied prior to us getting started. Work will commence on your scheduled start date. The developer in charge of your project will contact you on that day to confirm that we are getting started. After you have reviewed the design and decided what changes you would like to make, we will continue to make modifications to the design until the final desired look is achieved.

In Progress Viewing
We establish a private directory for your new web site on our testing server so that you may view the web site 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.

Web site Development / Coding Phase
Programming / Coding All web site development programming/coding to run any special features/visitor interactivity on your web site is completed and tested.
Web site Pages
Based upon your contract and the final design you selected, we create as many static or dynamic pages as needed to complete your site.
Web site Navigation
Navigation links or drop down menus, and rollover effects, if desired, are completed. Site Content Incorporation of your logo, photos and text content is included in all projects.
Custom logo design is available for an additional fee, please inquire if interested.
CSS Style sheet
CSS Style sheets are used to define font faces, styles, sizes and colors for consistency throughout the site.
Response Forms / Email Contact Forms
We always recommend at least one contact form for your visitor’s convenience. Using a contact form, a visitor can email you directly from your web site without needing to open their email program. This is especially convenient if a visitor is not using their own computer when their email program is not available.

Final Payment Final payment is always due before we take the web site live on your domain. Upon receipt of final payment, you will be emailed a final/paid in full receipt.
Launch Web site
All necessary web site files and scripts are copied to your domain and databases are setup.
Error Testing
After the web site is live, any interactive programming and scripts are tested to verify proper function. Since the design and testing phase often occurs on a different server, it is very important to once again verify that everything is working correctly after taking the web site live.
Web site Files
After launch and testing of the web site, you are provided with a zipped archive of all web site files.
Search Engine Submission
Hand submission and automated search engine submission occurs after launching, testing and fixing any issues there may have been.

Completion Phase

Minor Adjustments / Changes Minor adjustments to the web site are included at no charge for up to two weeks after the web site has launched. Minor changes include adding changing text, adding or changing photos, etc. Any major revision requests will require additional discussion and possibly incur a fee.
