If you are purchasing our Custom Design Services, you can expect the following:

This project will utilize web developers, designers and technicians from the United States. Estimated timeframe is 30 to 45 days from start to finish.

We have extensive experience using the both web design platforms, e-commerce software and Content Management Systems. We are highly proficient in cost-effective implementations using open source programming to meet the needs of our clients.

Web Design Phase

• Phase 1 – Planning & Storyboarding
  As the basis for the future design of the site, we will provide the design concept to our client for comment, based on preliminary conversations with the client. Client will spend time evaluating the look/feel provided and give feedback for redesign if necessary. This preliminary design will become the basis of the site character. We anticipate this will take from 3 to 10 days based upon past experience. In most circumstances we create mockups within 90% of the specifications of our clients. Mockups cover home pages only as in general all site elements will follow style and design of the home page with variations of the design implemented site wide. We do not provide unlimited revisions like some designers in cheaper markets. We normally hit it on the first try but if not we will do an additional mockup. From the mockup most like what our customer wants, we will do revisions to this one design as many as 5 times.
• Phase 2 – Site Preparation
  Client interaction is needed in this phase to provide documents and images for the site. In ecommerce site, a spreadsheet is required for any sites with over 10 products. Documents will be formatted in Word or other text processing software and delivered via email or uploaded to our easy to use project management system. If the site has existing documents and images we will either request logins and download such or obtain via html download. We do not crop images or create product images within the basic parameters of the design project unless it is stated on your agreement.
• Phase 3 – Development, Editing & Changes and Testing
  Once the mockup is approved we proceeded to develop the site. This will include set up of hosting, if needed, and structure for new site. We will install CMS, Blog or other elements as quoted. After a joint review and edit of the new site, any and all necessary changes will be made. It is imperative to thoroughly check the site for such things as browser compatibility, broken hyperlinks, and errors in submit forms to make sure everything is working properly.
• Phase 4 – e-Commerce elements.
  When eCommerce elements are present a spreadsheet of products is required. Site modules may cost additional and will be discussed with client as needed.
• Phase 4- Delivery & Launch and Training.
  Once everything has been tested, we will turn the site live. When your agreement includes it, we will additionally provide written documentation on the process of adding content and products, adjusting inventory, processing orders, etc and will provide both written, verbal and in person training as required.

SCHEDULE

We anticipate that most sites can be set up in 7 to 45 days.

There are many different types of pages for websites, some more complex than others. Here are two examples of web pages that vary from the simple to the extensive. You can clearly see (if you look) that both of these designs are “pretty” but one has more features and is thus a bit more expensive than the other one.

Basic Web Design:

This one is a simple site without a styled logo and with a basic left navigation. No mouseovers, no slides, no flash banners just simple text and some graphic elements. This type of design is a great startand can be modified later to enhance and improve it.

Premium Web Design:

This one has a styled logo, top header, flash images, styled left navigation, mutliple banners, etc. This is an example of premium design.
