When working together on a site we may not meet face to face.  However:

We will be in constant contact using Email, Telephone,
 Regular Mail, and the Internet.

You will be able to see your site as it is being built and view the progress at a designated demo location every step of the way.

 Here are the steps to designing your site

 Step1:   Together we will determine what you want your site to do for you or your business.  We will decide what you want your site to say and how you want it to look and feel.  We will determine the navigation of your site and how many pages it will contain.

Step2:  You will need to email me any pictures and business logo’s that you want on the site.  I will take what you send me and build a demo for you to view on the web.  This is where we will determine the overall color scheme and look of your site.

Step3:   We will determine a domain name for your site (www.yoursite.com) and discuss what keywords you want to target in the search engines.  Establishing your keywords at this point is important so they can be optimized throughout your site as it is being built.  This will help with your search engine placement.

Step4:   We will finish your home page and get final approval on the look and content of it before building any more pages.  This is important because changes are easy to do at this point to only one page.  If you decide to make changes later we may have to make the changes to all the pages. 

Step5:   We will work on adding pages and content to the site.  As the site nears completion We will move the site from the demo stage to your actual hosting location and make your domain name point to the hosting.  (Hosting is where your site will reside.  All sites on the web reside on a hosting server)  We will discuss the hosting charges and what is included in those charges.  They may vary based on if you need regular updating or have a shopping cart, etc.

Step6:   We finish the site and do a final approval.  Once this is done I will submit your site to the major search engines such as Google, MSN, Yahoo, etc.
