12 Easy Steps to Realizing Your Successful Website

We want to make this as easy and simple as possible. Below details our developmental processes of which you are a part of every step of the way. Please read below our step-by-step procedure so you are fully aware of what to expect from us and the efforts needed to design and build a successful website for you.

Our Web Development Process

1. Initial Consultation: A no-charge 30-minute “get to know you” session to talk about your business needs, goals and what you want your website to accomplish. We’ll briefly discuss your target market and review any functionality that you wish to have on your site.
2. Website Statement of Work or Estimate Proposal: A PDF document is emailed to you that summarizes our initial discussion, outlines the design and website build details, the costs involved, as well as what we plan to do. If you have any questions/concerns, you’ll let us know so we can clarify any points needing explanation. If you agree to the estimate, you send an email confirmation to mark the beginning of our business arrangement.
3. Terms and Conditions: Our terms and conditions are found on this website here which outlines our mutual responsibilities and covers the legalities of our working relationship. A 50% down payment is required before we start work on your project unless alternate arrangements have been made.
4. Domain and Web Host Registration: If not already done, we will assist in finding and registering your domain names(s) as well as setting up your web hosting account. If we are building a brand new site, we will put an “Under Construction” landing page on your home page while we build the site behind the scenes.
5. Design Mock-up: The first step is to create a design mock-up of your website. To do this, we will first ask you about your ideal target audience, website goals, brand positioning and other key points we need to understand in order to design a site that will get you results. This process requires your full participation and feedback to ensure we ultimately end up with a design that all parties are fully happy with. (Note: If we are also designing your brand, your logo will be finalized first before we can start on the website design.)
6. Content: If needed, we’ll send you a Word or Google doc to help you organize the text and graphics you want on your website. If you need assistance in writing the text, let us know as soon as possible as this is an extra service not included unless notified.
