You may know someone who has created a web page or website - creating images and coding HTML are easy skills to learn. Creating a cohesive and intuitive site, effective at reaching a targeted audience, is not such an easy task.
We offer consultation, content creation, graphic design, website hosting, promotion and maintenance services. We do not, however, offer proprietary technologies requiring advanced browser support, such as flash.
Our design process can be broken down into five separate steps:
The Interview: Yes, we'll ask a lot of questions! :) This will ensure that we become familiar with your needs and preferences, and that you get the website features you require. This can only be accomplished by us obtaining information from the person who is most familiar with your business - you. If you prefer to not choose one of our pre-configured packages, a quote for the full cost of the site will be provided during this stage. You will also be asked to gather any content (written material, graphics, etc.) during this time. For a list of the client's responsibilities, please review our terms.
Initial Site Design: We will create a layout for your site - color scheme, content addition, graphic design and interactivity are all attended to during this stage. You will have the ability to monitor your site's progress, and provide input, guidance and suggestions - such as additions or changes - during this time. We maintain regular contact with our customers by email, phone and fax during this phase. This is normally the longest stage - depending on the size and complexity of the site, it may take up to six weeks for development.
Implementation: During this stage, we 'polish' the site, and thoroughly test it to verify ease of usage, and to ensure usability on a variety of browsers and screen resolutions.
Publishing: The site will be uploaded to your server, and tested once again before going 'live'.
Ongoing Maintenance and Promotion: This step is optional. If you prefer, we can update your site as needed, and register it with a number of search engines.
