Web Site Design While the term 'design' does include the physical appearance, there are some more important aspects involved in your web site design to consider. We will work with you to develop pages to achieve their highest search engine placement and create a viable additional sales channel for your products or services. There are a few of important goals to keep in mind. First of all, we must identify what functionality is required for your specific business application, as well as the method and support processes that will be used to achieve it. The site needs to be self-explanatory or conform to general standards used commonly on the internet. The site must be structured so that the response time to the user is fast and accurate. The web sites we develop are configured to run on our own web servers which enables us to provide excellent features as well as tools and reporting. Our Process Web Site Proposal / Agreement - After our initial consultation about your web site project, we will begin to develop a proposal for the best feature set to suit your business needs. We will include any additional features requests you make up to this point. We will present you with a detailed list of the features we will include and what we will need from you to begin. We will also include an estimation of the time we will need to spend on the project, excluding your time for testing and review and any time with agents you appoint to deal on your behalf. We will also establish a fixed price that encompasses all the features specified in the proposal unless specifically stated otherwise. Our web site proposals are valid for 30 days from the date on the document. This will give you time to review the proposal and if you choose to accept it and it's terms, the final page will include signatures for agreement. If you accept the proposal, we will work with you to determine when we can begin the job, and when you will provide the requested materials and information. One of the things the proposal will request, is a single point of contact in your organization. This person should have the authority and qualifications to test and review the work on an ongoing basis, and to make (at the least) minor decisions about the project. As the stages of the site are completed, your contact person will be called upon to review, test and approve. These times will be down-time for us, so you should factor into the overall time frame how much time you will need to perform these reviews. We request that you use your proposal to structure your review process. That way, no key elements of the development process will be overlooked at the stages where they can be adjusted with the least amount of modification and time. Custom Programming and Proposal - We often have clients that are interested in custom programming of features they wish to add to an existing web site, or that they wish to incorporate into the one we are creating for them. If we feel the feature is of broad appeal, we will often incorporate it into our library of features. If you have a specific feature in mind that we don't currently have a program to suit, we will sit down with you and discuss specifics about what you want to achieve. We will then consider the feasability of developing a process for programming the feature and potential time-frame and cost. The same process as described above will be followed. A Basic Web Site Our basic site, generaly sold with the shopping system added on, includes informational content and a graphic identity. We appreciate it if you can provide your own logo's and some idea of graphics appearance, however, if you don't have this established, we will happily work with you to develop a graphic identity you'll be proud to have represent your company on the Internet. The following features are included in our basic web site:
