To give you an idea of what it takes to create an effective website and online presence for your company, we've created a brief breakdown of the process. 

Decision / Planning Phase - If you have not already done so, you will want to take some time to think about what you wish to accomplish with your new website. Determine if you will need any special functionality or interactivity with your visitors; consider the type of design style which appeals to you and then be sure to let us know.

Needs Analysis - During this phase, our project management team will create an action plan to meet your marketing objective(s) based on your input and information. We may have questions for you to help clarify certain issues and we will express those before providing a project quote on your project.

Website Development Contract - Once our project management team and the client reaches an agreement on project details, timeline and price, we will prepare a website development contract for you to review, sign and return back with your initial deposit.

Initial Deposit:  The signed contract and 50% deposit is required before we schedule a time slot for your project. The remainder of your balance will be due upon project completion. Once we have received your 50% deposit and signed contract, we will provide you with a copy of the fully executed contract, a receipt for your deposit and your project start date. All projects are scheduled on a “first come, first served” basis.

Domain Name Registration / Website Hosting

If you do not currently have a domain name we will immediately secure your desired domain name (pending availability) and include the first 2 years of service. The domain is registered in your name with your information and you will be the only registrant contact on file.

If you require
hosting services, we will also setup website and email hosting plan to meet your needs.

Graphic Design Phase

Upon receipt of your deposit and contract (if applicable), the project manager in charge of your project will contact you to confirm receipt of your deposit/contract, give you their direct contact information and possibly provide a list of items which will be needed from you over the course of development.

You will need to let us know the navigation links you would like (such as home, about us, services, etc) and supply all text and/or product information to be included on your site. In addition, you may also supply material such as company logo, personal photos, etc, if desired.

If you have any guide sites you would like us to refer to when designing your site or if you have any preference as to colors, style, etc please offer that information as well.

Ideally, all of the above information should be supplied prior to us getting started.

In Progress Viewing - We will publish your site design to a private directory  on our testing server so that you may view the website development progress at any time. In addition, your project manager will inform you via email when extensive updates to the site have been made so you can review the most recent progress.

Professional Stock Photography - All projects include use of professional stock photography images from our current library. If a client requires stock photography which we do not currently possess, an additional fee may apply.

Website Development Phase

Programming - All website development programming/coding to run any special features/visitor interactivity on your website is completed and tested.

Website Pages - Based upon your contract and the final design you selected, we create as many static or dynamic pages as needed to complete your site.

Website Navigation - Navigation links or drop down menus, and rollover effects, if desired, are completed.

Site Map -  Creation of a site map page is done which includes easy one-click access to all pages of your site.

Site Content -  Incorporation of your logo, photos and text content is included in all projects. Custom logo design is available for an additional fee,
please inquire if interested.

Response Forms / Email Contact Forms - We always recommend at least one contact form for your visitor’s convenience. Using a contact form, a visitor can email you directly from your website without needing to open their email program. This is especially convenient if a visitor is not using their own computer when their email program is not available.

Testing Phase and Client Review

Browser Compatibility Testing - Your website will be tested on both
Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox to ensure proper display and functionality.

Grammar & Spell Check - Before the website is launched, a grammar and spell check is performed to insure there are no mistakes.

Dead Link Check - A thorough check for misdirected links and missing files is performed just prior to as well as after the launch of the website.

Forms / Programming - Any email contact forms and/or programming features included in your project are tested to confirm they are functioning as required.

Launch Phase


Final Payment - Final payment is due upon project completion/site launch. 

Launch Website - All necessary website files and scripts are copied to your domain and databases are setup (if required).

Error Testing - After the website is live, final interactive programming and scripts are tested to verify proper function. Since the design and testing phase often occurs on a different server, it is very important to once again verify that everything is working correctly after taking the website live.

Website Files - After launch and testing of the website, you are provided with a zipped archive of all website and design files.

Instructions & Documentation - When necessary, any documentation needed to use the administration functions of your website is included in PDF format.

Search Engine Readiness Check - Meta Tags, Page Titles, Page Heading, Alt Image Tags, Link Text, and Page Body Text evaluation and adjustment where needed throughout the website.

Search Engine Submission - Hand submission and automated search engine submission occurs after launching, testing and fixing any issues there may have been.

At no time can we guarantee when or where the search engines will place your website within their search results or directory.

Completion Phase


Minor Adjustments / Changes - Minor adjustments to the website are included at no charge for up to two weeks after the website has launched (maximum of up to 2 hours labor). Minor changes include adding changing text, adding or changing photos, etc. Any major revision requests will require additional discussion and possibly incur a fee.
