The Web Design Process

Contact Me

Let me know generally what services you're looking for. What type of business are you developing and what features would like on your website? I'll tell you if I can meet your needs, a ballpark estimate and my availability.

The Meeting

We'll get together and go over your project in detail. We'll figure out what features you need, how to work within your budget and what you're ready to provide as far as content, artwork, etc.

The Agreement

If you're ready at the meeting, we can sign an agreement and collect a deposit. The agreement simply says that I'm going to do such and such work for this rate, and you're going to pay the bill.

Generally, I ask for half the estimated total project cost up as a deposit. However, this is determined on a project by project basis.

Step by Step Development

I'll keep you involved for every step of the process. You're paying by the hour, so with every step I want to give you the opportunity to correct the course before we go any further.

Web Host

You're free to select your own web host. I recommend LunarPages, I've had a great track record with them and have always been pleased with their service, but it's all up to you. There are a few hosts that are more difficult to work with than others, and so it may slightly increase the project time, but we can tackle that when you're ready.

Billing

I'll bill you every two weeks, or when the project is completed, whichever comes first. If another payment schedule is more convenient, we can certainly work something out, however, the full balance must be paid by project completion.

Finished!

You have your finished website, built to your specifications. I'll get everything running with your web host and provide a backup CD for you. All copyrights transfer to you.
