The Process of Creating a Web Site

Here’s what I do:

  • Start with a free consultation.The process
    • Purpose – WHY do you want or need a web site?
    • Goals – WHAT do you need the site to do for you?
    • Style – HOW do you want it to look and act?
  • Use a professional proposal and quoting process.
  • Ask you to sign a contract and terms of service to set the scope and responsibilities for each of us on this project
  • Use milestones to ensure accountability; you’ll know exactly where I am in the process.
  • Assist you in leasing a Domain name
  • Set up a Hosting account for your web site.
  • Show you a design concept and implement the colors, branding images, and feature set to your specifications.
  • Create a site from the ground up or redesign the existing site.
  • Ensure mobile compatibility (included) and responsive design (on request).
  • Make security a priority.
  • Test all sites on multiple browsers and operating systems before launching your new site.
  • Show you how to manage your site (Two hours of instruction are included)
  • I offer a great maintenance and security package for monthly service of your web site.

Here’s what you do:

  • Meet with me to outline the project.
  • Know what you want. If you need inspiration or suggestions, I will help and/or refer you to a marketing specialist.
  • Have a budget ready.
