The Process
Design and Structure: Usually we
meet together to determine the design and structure of your site.
Design includes feel, atmosphere and appearance. Structure is determined
by the written content and how you divide your information into
sections or pages. It also would include the functions you want
to perform. For example, is the emphasis on ordering online or is
it more of a marketing tool.
For an overview of this information-gathering process check out
the Questionnaire
page.
The Production Path: The production of a site often happens
in stages. This helps spread out the cost and your involvement time.
Typically, the first phase takes several months. After getting a
handle on the Design and Structure, I will provide you with an estimate
detailing all costs. Together we'll determine what materials I need
from you and what I will be creating from scratch. Once the quote
is approved, work begins on a design template. Often the design
will go through several revisions until you're happy with the look
and feel. Then production of the actual pages begins. I will test
the entire site before making it available on the Internet.
Revisions & Maintenance: In several months you may be ready
to add pages or to revise the site. We will discuss the best way
to proceed. I will be available to make these changes in a timely
fashion. Many simple alterations are accomplished the same day.
Some of my clients update only a few times a year while others make
changes or additions every month. If you're ready to get started
or just have some questions, either e-mail
me, give me a call at (630) 584-7723, or fill out our Questionnaire.
