Web Design Checklist

Building a web site is a set of steps that go from initial planning and preparation, through to design, construction and release.

Site Planning

An effective website requires planning. Nobody knows your business and your customers better than you do. To enable us to work with you to develope a website plan you will need to answer these 3 questions;

What are you selling?
How are you selling it?
Who are you selling it to?

These are the 3 questions that your site visitors will ask themselves when they visit your site.

Domain Registration And Hosting

Your domain name is your sites address and your hosting keeps your site online 24/7. We can arrange both domain registration and hosting, or you may have these set up already in the case of a site redesign. It's best to get domain name registration and hosting out of the way before site construction commences.

Collect Your Content

We will need from you everything that will be seen on the web site. This includes text, photos, logos, prices lists, terms and conditions, etc. We can put you in touch with a copywriter if you need assistance, but since nobody knows your business, your products and your clients the way you do, preparing the body text is something that you will need to do.

Images: Please provide images on CD or via e-mail if there are only a few ( under 1 meg).

Logos: If you have an existing logo, send it to us on CD or via e-mail. If you need we can design anything from a simple text only logo to a compleate corporate image.

Body Text: Standard Windows word processing formats (Word, Notepad, Word Pad, etc). Charges apply for manual typing of text. Text And Numeric Data: Data such as product listings, retail price lists and membership listings should be on disk, CD, or by email, in a standard Windows spreadsheet or database formats (Excel, Access).
Links: URL's and link descriptions for any external web sites to be shown as links from your web site should be provided in word processor, spreadsheet or database format.

Site Construction

Work begins once we have all of the materials required for the site. At this stage we produce 2-3 design comps for your approval.

Payment

Payment can be made by cheque or direct deposit to our account. The following payment schedule applies for new sites:

Web Site Costs

Deposit - 50%
On Completion - 50%

Site Release

On receipt of final payment your site will be online for all to see.

Web Site Marketing

Now that you've told everyone that you already know about the web site, it's time to let strangers in on it. There are 2 parts to this job:

Search Engine Management:

The technical aspects of making your web site perform well on the search engines so that people can find you easily. We can help with this.

Marketing And Networking:

Using the very same search engines to go out and find people who could buy things from you, or assist you with selling to others. The internet is just like the "real" world - it's not what you but who you know - and networking is just as important online.

Maintenance/Updating

Routine updates and modifications can be sent by email or delivered on CD/memory stick. We appreciate clear instructions also being provided on what needs to be done, and which page(s) the changes relate to.
