I offer web site design at multiple levels of complexity to suit the
needs of your business or organization. Whether you would like
simply a one-page Internet Business card or
to sell your products online, I will work with you to create an effective Internet
presence with room to grow.
Included in each of my packages are design consultation sessions in
which we will discuss each of the following as they apply to your
Internet presence.
Site Goals
What do you want from this web site? What will make it worth
the cost and effort? Specific, measurable objectives will help
to keep the development on track, as well as measure our success when
complete.
Competitive Analysis
Are there other sites online similar to what you would like?
What are they doing that works? What can we do better to drive
more traffic to your site and keep visitors coming back?

Intended Audience
Who are you making this web site for? Are you looking to
inform the general public in a certain location, sell your product,
communicate with members? Let's describe the demographics so
that we can gear the design of your site to their preferences.
Content List
What would you like to include in your website? Biographies,
product descriptions, photos, contact information, etc. A specific list will help us to plan efficiently for a
simple, intuitive design that allows all users to navigate quickly
through your site.
Page Layout Templates
What do you want the overall appearance of the page to look like?
We will sketch this out on paper to guide us in the development
process.

Site Map
The creation of a site map serves two purposes: it allows visitors
to your site to instantly see how your site is organized and find what
they want, but it also allows search engine crawlers to quickly and
efficiently index your entire site making search engine inclusion
complete.
Style Sheet
What are color, graphic, and font preferences? What is most
appropriate for your intended audience? Planning this ahead of
time lends consistency and symmetry to the site.
Site Promotion Plan
How will we get people to your site and get them coming back?
We will design the site with strategies for search engine
optimization, as well as craft a plan suited to your needs and budget
for site promotion.
Site Maintenance Plan
Included in each plan is 30 days of maintenance from the ate of
site completion. Depending on your skills and requirements, I
will train you in site maintenance, or will contract changes on an
hourly basis.

Web Hosting/Domain Setup
Building a web site also involves purchasing a dot.com or domain
name, as well as paying for hosting services. If you do not
already have these, I will assist you in the search for a
cost-effective and reliable solution.
Product/Service Display Templates
If you plan to advertise or sell a product online, then a display
template is a must. The consistency in design lends itself to an
impression of reliability to the consumer, as well as ease of browsing
through your merchandise. On your end, a template allows you to
quickly enter and update product specifications.

Site Maintenance/Updates
The beauty of the web is that it is always changing and it has
endless potential. Contrary to print media which remains fixed,
pages on the web are constantly being updated. If you are unable
to making these changes, I am available on an hourly basis to maintain
and update your site. Additionally, I will also maintain and
update a site that has been created by another designer.
