Resource For Web Design And Development

How do we get started with your website design?

October24

We will send you our “Client Package”
This package includes our agreement, web design process, and questionnaire that helps you get started. In the package, we will also include a written estimate for the total scope of the project. Our agreement is simply ownership and payment which means we require 50 percent down at the beginning of the project and then the remainder due upon completion. The ownership part means that once you paid for the web site in full, then the site belongs to you and we do not obtain any rights to the graphics or content that we create during the development of the site. Note, we do not lock you into any contracts or long-term commitments.

We start the design of your site
The website design starts by taking the materials that you send us, the information from the questionnaire, your verbal input, our competitive analysis, and our professional expertise. Once a rough draft of the site is complete, we upload it to an unpublished address on the Internet for your review. Once the review is completed, and all adjustments have been made, we then ask again for another review and the final approval.

We start on development of the rest of the site pages
At this point, we know by now that we are in a good business relationship and all is going well so we cash your deposit check and move forward with the rest of the web site.

We post your site to a test location
During production of your site, we will post it on our server with a discrete address, unknown to the rest of the world, so that you can view it online from your home or business. You can watch the development stages of your site as it progresses. Any changes can be done via telephone or E-mail. We go the extra mile by working directly with you from start to finish until we are both satisfied with the final product.

Your site goes through a final proofreading
The final step in the development phase is a complete proofreading on both of our parts. You will need to double-check our work and your own, and give us a final approval on the site so that we can call it complete and post it live to the server.

We fine-tune your site
After your final review, we will fine-tune the total site, make sure all graphics are optimized,  cross check the HTML code plus test all scripts and forms, and make sure the site functions properly in all browsers and resolutions. Every effort is made by our team to ensure that the web site is error-free. We will optimize your site so the search engine robots can read it at no additional charge. This is one of the advantages in choosing us to design your Web site.

On final approval
Once you give us the final approval, we launch the site to your .com or other address on the server. Once it goes live, we then double check all scripts and forms and assist you in setting up your email address if you do not already have one. If we host you (preferred), then we setup your statistics program and all other associated features that we offer with your account.

We send you your invoice
At the same time we launch the site, we will invoice you for the final amount and the remaining balance is due when you receive the invoice. Unlike some companies that will not upload your site until paid, we know you are anxious to get your site online so we upload it in good faith before the final payment is made.

We will provide a “Get Started” marketing plan.

Graphic Design for Business and Identity

October24

All businesses need an identity. Your business identity is what makes you unique to your customers. The goal of your business identity is to have people associate your logo or brand with an excellent product, great service, or terrific customer satisfaction.

Can you answer Yes to any of these questions…


Are you starting a new business?
Has your current business brand and identity gotten stale?
Are you planning on reaching a new demographic that would shy away from your current brand?
Are you launching a new product or products?
Does your current product line need new, attention-grabbing packaging?

Graphic Design for Advertising

October24

Your business needs to market your products and services through advertising. While you can consider a 2-line, one-color listing in the Yellow Pages “advertising,” visual communication through graphic design has a unique ability to enchant and interest people. Whether it is your logo, brochures, mailing pieces, magazine ad, or whatever, you stand a much better chance of reaching your customer when you grab their attention first, and then deliver your message.

Advertising with great graphic design can be powerful. You can’t be in front of your customers all of the time, so let advertising do the talking for you. Graphic design can bring in new customers, improve your brand, or inform your existing customers about new products or services.
