Design and Discussion
I prefer to do the initial discussion in person. This can also be accomplished over the phone or in email too. We will talk about what you need your web site to do, what you envision it should look like and what types of content pages you want. I can also incorporate any logos or branding that your using for your business.

Once the initial discussion has taken place, I'll start working on your design. Once I think I have what your after, I'll post your pages on my site. Your pages will be hidden from the public initially. I'll give you a web address so you can review the content and layout. I'll make adjustments till your happy with the site. Once you have signed off on it, I'll publish your web site for the world to see.

Up to Five Pages of Content
You'll might not need all 5 pages. Typical pages include but are not limited to: Main / Home, About Us, Contact, Directions, Coupons or Menu Page.

Your content should be your words. I'll be happy to help you with this step (if needed). Once you have your words down, they can be emailed either in the body or as an attached file. I'm sure you already have a pretty good idea of what you would like to say to the world.

Navigation Methods
You have several choices in navigation methods.
- Simple Text Navigation
- Rollover Text Navigation
- Rollover Image Navigation
- Image Navigation

These methods all serve the same purpose. To get folks from one page to another. It's your choice on what you think looks and works best for your site. Please take a look at the examples pages. They will give you a good idea of different navigation and how backgrounds can be incorporated.

Maintenance Updates
You get up to 4 maintenance updates per month free. Maintenance updates are minor adjustments to you pages. By minor I mean a simple swapping out of text or replacing an image. It would also include updating coupons or menu changes (in .pdf format). A maintenance update should basically take no longer than 15 minutes. If you require more extensive changes, these changes would be at design rates.

Up to 15 Images
We can place up to 15 unique images on your pages. I'll take care of any image manipulation to optimize file size and ensure quick loading. More images can be added, but it increases the bandwidth usage of your page. This will result in a little higher cost to your package. These prices will be quoted on a case by case basis. Don't be scared of adding more images, the extra cost might be worth it. Of course, images used for navigation and backgrounds are excluded from the image count.

Email Address from Your Domain
If you choose, you can have up to 4 Email addresses from your domain. These Email addresses can be accessed via the web or your email client. Any email that is listed on your web site should be checked at least daily. We don't have to list an email, if you prefer contact by phone.

Hosting
Hosting is for one year once your content goes live.

*Domains
Getting your own domain name is the 1st step in getting your own web page. Once you contact me, we will discuss what domain name options are available for your site. I should be able to give you several choices. Hopefully, the one you want will still be available. Once you make a choice, I'll register your domain and list you as the administrative contact.

Domain name registration is not included in the package prices. The cost is $12.95 / year. You choose the term (1 year minimum). As the administrative contact, you will be able to move your domain at any time to another host (should you need to do so). Your Domain Name is yours as long as you choose to keep it registered. There are a few cheaper options out there. However, by registering your domain with my choice of domain registrars, it allows faster hosting of your domain. This cuts down my time and the savings are passed on to you.

Payment for the domain is up front and required before any work can be done on your site.

Note: Your contact information is part of the public record when you register a domain. If you wish to avoid this, you can pay a $10 / year fee and your information can be kept private. These are actual cost of the registration. There is no mark-up by me for obtaining your domain name.

Putting It All Together
  1. Give me a call or send me an email to discuss any questions you may have.
  2. Discuss domain name options with me.
  3. Decide on how long you want your domain name registered for.
  4. Remit payment for Domain Name registration.
  5. Decide on what type of pages you would like and navigation.
  6. Start putting together your content and images you would like to use.
  7. Send me your content.
  8. I'll start designing your site and post it for private viewing.
  9. Review your site and make changes.
  10. Further review till your happy. Send Email that content meets your approval.
  11. Mail me a signed copy of the Terms of Service contract.
  12. Remit payment for one year of hosting.
  13. Once both are received, your site goes live.
That's all there is to it. I'm going to work hard to make your site look great and you happy with the results. After all, you're my advertising for this business. Once we start the ball rolling, your web site can be live in about a week.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to drop me an email or give me a call.
