Every website has a
domain name.
This is your www.yourdomain.com or URL (Universal
Resource Locator) address. In order to see what is
available as far as domain names are concerned, you
can go to GoDaddy.com and on the home page there is
an area where you can do a domain name search. It
can take a little time to find a domain name. When
you come up with a name that is available, purchase
it and make note of your account login information.
You’ll need this when your site is taken live.
NOTE 1
Never let anyone else register your domain name for
you, even if they offer to. If you should become
un-happy with you hosting company or Web Design
Company, it can lead to a lot of problems when
trying to change services.
NOTE 2
Whether you register your domain name with GoDaddy
or someone else, do not buy any extras that they
will try to sell you. They will indeed try to talk
you into making an impulse purchase and at this
point, you do not need any extras. If it is
determined that you need one of their extra
services, you can always go back to them later.
We will be happy to help you with this process.

When planning your design, you will want to take
some time to think about what you wish to accomplish
with your new website and determine if you will need
any special functionality or interactivity with your
visitors.
-
Website Planning
We encourage you to look at other websites in
your own business industry and consider the type
of design style which appeals to you so that you
can convey your ideas to us. Based on the
information you provided, we will then determine
your needs and get a feel for your industry. It
is important for you to be as detailed as
possible as you must provide the content of each
page to us.
If you have an “About Us” page or
an “Our Services” and other page links, we’ll
need for you to give us the text so that your
pages contain exactly what you want to say. Who
knows your business better than you, right?
-
Graphical Design – Look and Feel of Your
Website
You will need to let us know the navigation
links you would like such as home, about us,
services, etc., and provide 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 and so on,
please provide this information, as well.
For E-Commerce sites that require us to enter
products for you, we will need you to supply us
with Product Name, Unique Product ID Number (if
any), Product Description, Options (if any –
size, color, etc), Price, Approximate Weight,
Number in Stock, as well as the product photos
named in correspondence with the Product ID.
Ideally, all of the above information should be
supplied prior to us getting started.
-
Completion Phase
Once we get close to the end of the design, we
will provide you with a private URL address
where we can both take a look at the near final
design. We will discuss every aspect of the
website design with you and talk about any
changes that you may want to make at that time.
It will be up to you to let us know what you
feel. You may want to makes change on the site
or let us know any other ideas that you want to
accomplish. Together we will compile a final check
list, making sure the
site is exactly like you want it before taking
it live.
The only thing that we require form you in the
completion phase is that you help us to finish
your project as soon as possible by providing
any change requests in a timely manor.
We always base each website quote from our basic 5
page design and then calculate from there the cost
to your specifications.
Do you need a shopping cart,
more than 5 pages, an image viewer or photo gallery?
Each of the website extras are listed in our
WEBSITE ENHANCEMENTS
page. So there are no surprises, allowing you to
remain in complete control of your project budget.
