Your website design plan should start with a review. We look at your site’s backend to examine the structure.  To do this, we’ll need to get access, so you should have your logins for your website and your hosting platform ready.  Once we look at the backend, we will know how to approach the project and will make our recommendations.

You should have at least a general idea of how many pages you’ll need and what content will go on each page. Examples: Home – About Us – Services – Clients – Portfolio – Shop – Contact. It’s important to have a good vision of exactly what you need up front, as our quote is based on this initial communication. More importantly, a good plan will help you deliver a clear message to customers.

The images on your website are important elements of a successful website design. It’d be nice if everyone had big, beautiful photos to use on their site, but most companies don’t. Don’t get stressed if you don’t have the photos. We can pull from several image libraries that usually have suitable images to at least get you up and running. If your business is highly specialized, at some point, you’ll want to get photos done, but that won’t delay us from building your site.

Decide what you are selling online (if anything) early on. If you’re going to do online transactions, you’ll need a merchant account setup with Authorize.net, or an alternative online payment method (i.e. Paypal, Stripe, etc.) We can walk you through the many, many available options. For complex eCommerce sites, we can walk you through the various options for coupons, variable pricing, abandoned cart emails, retargeting ads and so forth.
