Steps
To Building Your Site:
|
TOP |
|
- Fill out our quote
request form.
- We will contact you in the manner
you select (email or phone) to go over
your design needs.
- We will give you our quote, then
send you the link to our online contract.
We may first design a very rough draft
of the site to get a better idea of
what you want.
- When we receive the completed contract
we will bill you for 50% of the design
cost.
- After the payment is received we
will then start to design your site.
- We will send you a link to the site
for your approval or changes.
- We will work with you for up to three
more rounds to make all changes needed.
NOTE: Rounds are limited to 4 as an
incentive to complete the design in
a reasonable amount of time. If your
site needs more attention to complete
it per contract we will of course do
so.
- When all contracted terms are met
the balance will then be due within
7 days.
- After receiving full payment for
our services all of the site files
will be provided to you and become
your property. You may choose to have
the files provided via a ZIP file,
mailed to you on a CD, or we can upload
them directly to your host. NOTE: If
we are going to host your site it will
be online very quickly. If we are to
upload files to another host we will
need your account information (User
Name & Password) to do so.

DOMAIN
NAME:
|
Choosing a domain
name (name of your site).
This is the first step you should complete.
Choose any name you like then check to
see if it available. There is a cost for
registering domain names and prices vary
greatly depending on which company you
choose. Typically you would register your
name for a year but there are longer contracts
available. We can do your domain search
and step you through the process for a
small fee. |
LAYOUT:
|
What layout
do you want?
You can use our templates to
help with your decision. We also suggest
surfing the web for a site that you like.
Then save the URL (http://...) so
you can provide us with it. You can use
the standard page layout or present your
site in frames or Iframes. |
IMAGES:
|
How many images
do you want on your site?
This will vary greatly depending on
what type of site your building. The very
basics are your banner and a background
image. If your selling items you will probably
want to use images to link to more information
about them. |
BANNER:
|
Do you have
or need to make a banner?
Every site needs a banner. It's your
way of standing out from others. It can
be simple or an extravagant flash production.
Either way it will be your unique image
identifying your business. If you already
have one that's great. If you don't we
can make one for you at a very reasonable
price. |
LINKING:
|
How will you
link to other pages.
Linking to other pages seems like a
no brainer but you do have a few choices
in this area. The most popular method is
to use rollover links (images that change
when your curser rolls over them) for linking
to your sites main pages. Then use regular
text links in the body of your pages. If
your site is going to have allot of pages
then using a Drop Down Menu is also a good
option. |
NUMBER
OF PAGES:
|
How many pages
do you need?
Typical pages are: Home, Photo Album,
Contact, Terms, Policy, About Us, and Maps.
Of course you can have as many as you like
but keep in mind that you want your visitors
to easily find what they are looking for. |
PASSWORD:
|
Do you want
to password protect your pages.
If your site contains information you
don't want the general public to access
you can password protect it. You have probably
seen this on sites with a log-in box. You
can have it set up so that a visitor can
create a password online or you can choose
the password and provide it to all your
known visitors. |
SALES:
|
Are you going
to sell services or items online?
If your site is going to offer services
or items for sale you will need an online
payment method. We suggest Paypal.
We think they are the quickest and easiest
way to receive funds. |
COLORS:
|
What colors
will you use?
If you already know the colors your
going to use that's great but if not you
can search the web for more ideas. |
GUESTBOOK:
|
Do
you want a guestbook?
Guest Books are typically used on personal
sites but can be used on any site. Some
Guest Books are free but usually display
ads unless you pay a fee to run them add
free. |

|
|
SITE HOSTING:
|
We offer 1 year of hosting
(if we design your site) for only
$99.00 (paid in advance). |
|
Where will you
host your site?
When your site has been completed you
will need to put it somewhere so that others
can view it. The company that keeps your
web site on their computers for others
to view are called the host. There are
a ridiculous numbers of these to choose
from. They also vary allot in price.
NOTE - You do not need a host before designing
your site but you do need to purchase your domain
name. |
SITE UPADTES:
|
Our rates
for this service are very reasonable. |
|
Who will update
your site?
Updating can be done by you. This is
the best option if you have the software
and the experience or we can do it for
you at a very reasonable rate. |
KEY
WORDS:
|
|
Key words for search engines.
These are the words that search
engines use to find your site. They are
embeded into your source code and should
refer to the context of your site. We
will help you with this.
