planning a web site

It's our job to translate your identity to the web. We will help you find a domain name, and develop a design that reflects your sensibilities and suits the look and feel of your business. We will demystify using the web as a marketing tool!

To make it easy for people establishing their first ever site we have some sample packages and some suggestions. Please email us if you'd like us to send them to you.

Here's what is included when we design your site:

  • a planning session - to help you pull together materials we need to build the site and to determine what kind of site you need. This is also an opportunity to discuss design possibilities and to have a designer help you tailor the look and feel of the site to your marketing needs.
  • custom built pages - to suit your content and the needs of your business. The internet is not a static medium, we build your site keeping in mind that your goals are growing and changing.
  • scans of images - included in the base price. (extensive color correction or photo manipulation is not included)
  • ongoing dialogue & periodic reviews of statistics - to address how the site is working for you.

Basic prices include design, building, initial set up of the site. Once it is launched all updates, changes and additions are billed at an hourly rate. (hosting is not included).

what you should be prepared to provide:

  • a comprehensive overview of your needs (be sure to provide any materials currently used to market your business - business cards, letterhead, brochures, logos, newspaper articles, photos, resumes etc)
  • edited, publication ready, typed content (on disk)
  • company logos for inclusion.
  • photos, slides, and or digital images for inclusion on the site

Some things to consider when planning your website:

  • how much information will be needed to be updated regularly and when?
  • internet publishing  is more fluid than print and can easily be updated or modified at nominal cost. Don't think of it as a static promotional tool.
  • how are you planning to use the site & how does it fit into your overall marketing plan?
  • who is your audience and how will they get there?
  • one of the most important aspects of every website is the navigation. People should easily find the information that they are looking for. We help you organize your site to it’s best advantage.
  • this is your 24/7 communications tool with the world - give it the appropriate attention
