How it Happens...

To get started, we will have a conversation about who you are, who your company or organization is, and what your needs are. We'll talk about your preferences, your ideas (or lack thereof!), and if you have an existing site, we'll take a look at that. We'll discuss all the possibilities for what your website can be, and can do for you.

Once we decide to build your website together, you'll pay a small design fee upfront to get us started. At that point, I'll ponder, play and design, and put together two or three ideas, posted for you to look at. You'll be able to give me feedback about what you like so that the design will be the one you want. I'll also write up a functional design document as a basis for our plans. This will outline the functional requirements for your site, the flow of pages, and any other needs that you have. It will guide us in asking questions, determining what you want and making sure that you will be happy with what I will create for you.

When you are confident that one of the designs is what you are looking for, only then will you pay to get the job done. At that point, 1/3 of the total cost will be due, with the remainder due when the website is finished.

With my assistance, you will decide on a domain name (if you don't have one already) and decide on a hosting server (again, if you don't already have one). We'll work together to plan your site so that it is easy to navigate and a pleasure to view.

And then, I'll create your website... with input from you all along. I'll keep you posted by putting pages online so that you can see them as I progress. And, soon enough, you will have a website online ready for business, or members, or the world.
