Web Design Process

We have a five-step process as explained below:

Step One - Contact Us

Simply send me an email with a short description of your project. Together we can review the details, specific requirements and the end result you want for your site.

Next, I'll provide you with a quote for the total cost of your site creation. This interaction provides us both with the information and insights we need to decide if our relationship will be mutually beneficial. If we are agreed - we move onto step 2.

Step Two - Make a deposit

You'll be provided with an invoice for 50% of the total of your quote. This deposit can be made via check by mail or in person. I also accept PayPal payments for smaller projects under $500.

Step Three -Your insight is vital!

While I may be the Web design professional, you have vital information about your business, your customers, your likes and dislikes that will make your site a success. We will get together with you over the phone or in person (local clients) to establish a "creative briefing". I will ask you questions that will help me understand the new look and feel of your website. This is a critical session to understand the calls to action on the home page, navigational elements and overall sub page content layout.

Step Four - Provide us with feedback

I will provide you a web design concept within 2 weeks of our creative brief meeting. Your feedback will help me to determine which direction to take. I may only need to do some tweaking, or most often the general design is ready to code with minor text changes.

Step Five- Test and launch

Once you have approved the final design, I add and format the copy (text) to all the pages and set up your desired features. Once everything has been approved by you, I upload your site to the Web and fully test its functionality. I make sure that your site can be viewed as intended in Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and other common browsers and resolutions.

The Web design process generally takes anywhere from 3 - 6 weeks. To alleviate any unnecessary delays, I recommend that you have the majority of your copy written (and proofed) before your design begins.
