| What is the web design process to create a web site? |
Using your input, we first design a proposal for your review which includes a complete site layout containing a homepage and links to other pages within your site. We will email this proposal to you unless otherwise specified. Remember - this is an initial draft of your site. You are free to make changes at any time.
Once you approve of this initial design we will then:
- Code the web pages using your text, images, links, forms, etc.
- Create a logo if you would like one
- Test and retest the site on serveral browsers and operating systems.
|
| Can I see my website during this process? |
- We will provide you with a URL where you can view the progress of your web site at any time.
- We encourage you to communicate with us, preferably via email, with comments, suggestions, modifications, anything to make your website exactly what you want it to be.
|
| Anything else I need to do while my website is being created? |
- Will get your domain registered and a hosting plan set up upon receive of payment for this. Costs depend on the contract you have with us.
- Decide on a maintenance plan for your website once it goes live (see "Maintenance").
- Once you are delighted with your web site we will post it live on the Internet.
|
| What happens when my web site is posted online? |
- We will notify you when your site is live. Once online, it takes about eight weeks or more for your URL to be added to search engines and their directories. If you include an email address or a form in your website, responses will go directly to that address as soon as someone sends one to you.
- You should begin advertising your URL in other media, such as business cards, catalogs, flyers, brochures, the side of your vehicle!
