Planning
When
you decide you want to move forward with site development, we set
up a meeting with you, either in person or over the phone, to
discuss the specific details of your site. Two hours of
planning time is included with each site designed by us. We will send you a
worksheet to complete. The information you give us is used to plan
and create a Website designed specifically for your business.
The
following are a few of the questions included on our worksheet. We
need this information to begin the development process.
 |
What content will
your site contain? |
|
How
do you want the information to flow? |
|
What
kind of look and feel do you want your site to have? Are there
colors specific to your business or ones that you prefer used in
your design? |
|
Do
you have print materials with company logos such as brochures,
flyers etc. that contribute to the company's image? Do you need
a custom logo created? |
|
What
type of audience you are targeting |
|
Is
there additional content such as special graphics, animation,
scanned images, response forms etc., that you would like added? |
|
Have
you examined other web sites that relate to your business or
organization? What is it that you liked or disliked about them? |
Your
site will remain online throughout development, at a specified
location, for you to follow along
and give us your feedback.
Hosting Your Website
Once your site is completed, it is uploaded over the Internet to a
hosting company's computer. We help you determine which hosting
company meets your specific website needs and we serve as
intermediaries with the technical people who run the host
servers. See our
hosting services
for
more information regarding
hosting companies and services.
Maintaining/Updating
Maintaining and
updating your site is an
important and ongoing task. If your site content stays fresh,
site visitors will keep coming back.
We can easily make changes, update content and provide
all the technical support needed to keep your site up and running.
See
maintenance
for more information regarding this.
Promoting/Marketing Your Site
It
takes time and effort to build site traffic and develop a
loyal customer base. Some of our clients do their own marketing
and promotion online. This means that they spend time each month
posting to mailing lists, sending out e-zines and submitting their
sites to search engines and directories. Other clients prefer to
have us do their online promotion. We have had great success with
our search engine and directory submission program. See our
promotion
for more information on planning out your promotion strategies..
The
decision to have us promote your site or to do it yourself depends
on your available time and budget. For more information regarding
this see our
tips on promoting your site online and
search engine and directory submission tips
for
search engine submission.
Don't forget, your off-line marketing is also
extremely important to site promotion. See our great
tips regarding off-line marketing.
Domain Name Registration
Every
business website needs it's own unique domain name. That domain name, (www.yourcompanyname.com),
is your exclusive Web address. Domain names are purchased from online
domain registrars. If you do not have a domain name, we are
available to obtain it for you. For more information see
domain names.
