Welcome

We begin with a consultation to determine the graphical and functional needs of your site. We listen to you. If you're not sure what you need, no problem - we can advise you and make suggestions. We then identify the technical resources required to meet those needs, and work out with you an estimate for the best cost/benefit approach.

2If desired, we act as your agent in obtaining a domain name(s) and we offer web hosting to clients who wish to use our ongoing webmaster services.

3We then work with you to develop the content and/or page outline for the site and navigation schemes to meet the needs of your target audience.

4Finally, we develop a graphical composition (comp) of your homepage and sub page, to your specifications, working closely with you to achieve the "look and feel" you want for your site. For content management systems, we develop a graphical comp of the template to be used throughout the site, and will discuss any aspects of the CMS that will pertain to your specific needs.

Once the design is approved, we implement the required infrastructure and code to give the site its functionality. This may include server side scripting such as PHP or ColdFusion, DHTML menus, Java, JavaScript, CGI scripts, streaming media, Flash, and many other possible features.

We do this in a private work area of our own site where you can watch and critique the process. Only when you are satisfied do we transfer the work to the 'live' site and open the doors to the public.

NOTE: To insure that our quality work is done in an efficient and productive manner, we request that the content you provide to us, is "final content," and when approvals are given to the comps, that they are final approvals. We use the content you provide to us, to populate and build your site, and this is done only after the graphical design comps have been approved, and the HTML version of the first page has been approved. Therefore, if changes to the copy, photos, or structural are needed after the work has already been completed, there will be an additional hourly charge for changes to final content.

If you already have a web site:

We can provide services ranging from total redesign and reconstruction to minor facelifts or addition of new functions or pages using your existing designs.

We will confer with you to understand the desired changes or extensions and analyze the existing site to identify what will be required to accomplish them, including the impact on existing code or systems that are to be retained. A small fee is required for this analysis. If continued operation of the site during upgrade is required, we will develop a plan for phasing in the modifications without interrupting use of the site.

Maintenance plans:

Some sites require little if any maintenance; others need regular updating or supervision. Often this has more to do with functionality than size.

We offer pre-paid monthly maintenance plans on an hourly basis, that provide a savings for sites that require them. For sites that require only occasional work we are available by the hour on-call.
