The Web Development Process:
- Give us some links to sites you like (and why)
- Tell us what you do in a couple clear sentences
- Let us apply our experience in producing a site that will succeed
You are the expert in your field, we're expert in web usability, website design, and search engine marketing
What we'll need from you:
- One, two or three sentences that convey the advantages you offer your target market
- Your "wish list" of web elements, and links to any sites that have features you like (and why you like them). Links to some competitors' sites can be helpful, too.
- A list of keyword phrases (not individual words – three, four, or even five word phrases are best) people are likely to use to search for your site.
- Supporting text, information about your products or services, and any high-resolution photos or graphics that need to be included in the design.
For the most part, that's it (well, there will be some $ involved, too). If we need more, we'll tell you, which brings us to...
What You Get From Us
Depending on the scope of your project, and what we included in our estimate, you'll get:
- Some very helpful guidelines on how to provide what we need from you. If the site includes e-commerce or database content, we may provide some templates to help you help us.
- A design concept (or two or three) of the new site for your review. We'll then modify it as needed based on your feedback.
- If you have us doing SEO, we'll provide you a spreadsheet with our keyword research and recommendations.
- As long as we have your content, we'll start building the site.
- We'll have included some options in our estimate to help get your site off to a running start.
