Process


First Step

You will be asked to answer a questionnaire regarding why you'd like a new website, what your business is about, what you would like to communicate, and how you would like to be perceived. Your answers will help us determine the scope and nature of your website. 

We will review your questionnaire together, get to know each other, and discuss timelines, budget and how we work. 

 


Phase 1

Once you choose to work with us, we will collect some basic content and will send you links to two test sites for you to review and assess what design looks/feels best for you and also meets your functional needs.

We will then work together to establish what content to feature (text, video, images) and we will determine what content you currently have, what needs to be developed, and who will develop it. We can help create content, or refer you to other trusted professionals.


Phase 2

After a style for the site is approved, and we are ready to curate the content you will be asked to sign a contract and pay an approximately 50% deposit. A cost for the site will be estimated based on our previous experience, and you will be give a range ($600-$800, $800-$1200 etc). Your deposit will be for the lowest figure in your estimate and is non-refundable. 

Together we will create a timeline for creating and receiving your content.

Once we receive or create your content we will begin building your site. You will have a few opportunities to make some style changes as we go. 


Phase 3

You will review and approve your final website.

We will connect your social media accounts to your website and then connect your site to your existing or new domain. 

Your site will go live. We can help you to share your good news through social and print media.

You will receive training on how to update your website; add blog posts, change text, add images etc. and on how to track metrics (how many people are visiting your site, how they are finding you and what content they like best) Don't worry. We won't leave you hanging. If you need help after your launch we will be here for you.
