I start by meeting with you to discover your aspirations for your website. Overall design elements can then be added, thus creating the "shell" of the website. This is how it all starts. I'll meet with you to decide what the purpose of your website is, what your goals are, and what features you'd like to see in your new website. Make sure you bring samples of company promotional materials, color swatches, your logo, etc; anything that will make the design process go quicker. Oh, and I don't charge hourly like other web designers do. Click here to view my 2008 Design Price Chart After a final site design has been approved, the actual website can be built. Filler content is added to acheive the predetermined "look" without actually having to fill every page with meaningful text. At this point, we have a final site design decided on. "Lorem ipsum dolor" dummy text will be put in temporarily, however the images that will be on the final design will be used at this point. An invoice will be sent to you for all design costs. Once the previous steps are completed, final approved-by-you content is added and the website is readied to "go live". I can host your website myself, or I can help you to do this yourself. Once your invoice is paid in full, your website (with actual text content) and all files are written to a CD. You can either take this disk and put it on your own servers (or web hosting account with a third party), or you can opt to allow me to host the website for a monthly fee (which includes an allotted amount of free maintenance each month).
