What process will you follow in building my website?


  • Start by requesting a no obligation quote on your website project. We will schedule a time to talk on the phone to find out more about your project, and overall business, and any scheduling requirements. We will take that information and provide you with a quote for the project. To begin your project, we require half of the proceeds upfront.

  • Once the project has started, we dig deeper to understand the goals of your web site, find out who your audience is, what products and services you plan to offer and also take a survey of your competition so we understand how you fit into the market place.

  • We will work with you to start gathering the imagery, content, price lists, and any other materials needed for the construction of your site..

  • If you do not already have a web site, we will help you secure your domain name and secure a hosting account for your web site.

  • Upon receiving your content and images, we will begin to look at logical grouping of content and how it aligns with the focus of your web site to formulate a proposed navigation scheme and begin building your web site.

  • Once we have agreed upon a navigation scheme and overall layout, we will leveraging our knowledge of web site design, usability and search engine optimization best practices, to blend all of this content together into a functional web site that will present a friendly user experience to your customers.

  • All throughout this process, you will find that we seek feedback and ask lots of questions to make sure that we are on the same page with how your web site and business ultimately will be represented to the world. When both parties deem the web site design ready, we enable it for the rest of the world to enjoy and you can begin the marketing of your new website.

  • It is at this point where we will invoice for the second half of the project proceeds. Unless we are involved in additional website work or online marketing efforts with you, from a website expense standpoint going forward, you will have annual domain name renewal fees, periodic hosting fees (depending on if they are set up to be monthly, quarterly, or annually), any online marketing that you are doing (either on your own or with our help).

So how much will it cost to have you build my site?

Since it is bease on your specific business needs, there are a number of factors that influence the price, such as the number of pages and galleries, the complexity of the site, custom graphics needs, along with if there will be any JavaScript or custom programming needed.
