Whether we have met you on our travels or you are further
afield and we are only in contact via email, communication is
the key.
Step 1
Firstly we will get together to discuss what you want from
site, who is it aimed at? Have you already got an idea of
content? How will the Navigation work? Will you want to update
the site yourselves or will you want us to do updates for you?
Step 2
Once we have a general idea of what you are after we will come
up with 2 or 3 different design ideas for you to take a look
at. This we will put on a proof site so you and your colleagues
will be able to view it anywhere.
Step 3
After you have decided on a design we will work together
through any changes you would like to see, maybe your logo
needs to be bigger, maybe you would prefer a different colour
scheme. We will not try and push you into having something you
don't want, only give you our professional advise. From here it
is up to you, it is your site after all!
Step 4
After we are all happy with the design, we will go ahead and
convert it to a web page, here you will need to provide us with
all the content for the site in electronic format. Text work
can be sent in most forms, Word (DOC) Acrobat (PDF) Notepad
(TXT) and many more. Images can also be sent in any format,
Photoshop (PSD) or general GIF, BMP, JPG, PNG etc files.
Step 5
When all the data has been entered into the new design we will
place it on a proof site for you to look at and for us to test,
once you are happy with this we will then put the site live.
Continuation Work
Most people will want to update their sites once they are live,
maybe you have dates or names that will need changing, maybe
you will want to add new images. There are 3 ways in which this
can be achieved:
- If you have someone in your company who is web literate and
you want to do any changes in-house, then we will forward you
all the necessary FTP details to allow you to access the site
and make your own changes.
- If you would like to update the site yourself but have no
web experience, we can advise you on the best programs to use
to update the site and can send you a comprehensible manual,
giving you step by step instructions on how to update the site.
This will be discussed at the beginning stages and we will
construct the price into the quote before any work goes ahead.
- You have no idea about updating websites and quite frankly
really don't want to know. In this scenario, we can build in a
maintenance charge at the beginning, and will do your updates
for you (this does not include any redesign work). We will
base this cost on time limit, maybe you only want to change a
couple of things a year in which case you may only need a few
hours of our time per year. Or maybe your site needs constant
updates and will need changing a few times a month in which
case we will give you more hours. We will keep a time sheet at
our end and advise you how many hours worth of work you have
left. (bearing in mind that we are traveling around, so we may
not be able to respond that second, we are never more than a
week away from an internet connection though so will respond as
soon as it is humanly possible!)
