The first thing we need to do is to consult about your
objective. Then we should establish a goal for the purpose of your Web Site.
This will help us to compile appropriate content and present it in a
structured manner which will communicate your intent for the Site. Once this is
determined, you can collect and organize any other necessary information that
will be used in your Site. This will help us to accomplish a visualization of
how the data will be structured and interlinked to assure that your information
is communicated comfortably and thoroughly to the viewer.
When your information and content is gathered together we can
plan a layout and outline the structure of the site. At this time we
will begin to figure out a cost for your site. Because no two Web Sites are
alike, pricing is determined on an individual basis after reviewing several
factors, including: content, size, structure and general complexity. The more
you can specify these details, the better. If at this time we are exceeding
your expected budget we can make the necessary revisions to fit that budget.
You will be quoted a price for the Site and construction will begin.
For most large sites, a planned layout is a
necessity. Without it you might expect to get twice the possible cost as a
quote from a web site developer because of all the unknowns. A layout is the
blueprint of the project. They are very easy to construct, but do consider some
thought and take some time.
Without a planned
layout, it's like giving a contractor all the material to build your custom
home and then making him guess what's in your mind without providing any
blueprints or pictures. The result will be many extra hours of work to find
your mind and to make changes along the way because of all the guess
work.
It is important that you offer an estimate of
what you would like to invest for your web site. This will be considered in the
quote.
