GETTING STARTED

There are four things that We need from you to create a site.

Your Categorization System - People have the shortest attention span when they are on the Internet. Making your message quick and easy to read is essential. This means your site has to load quickly. To make an immediate, clear impression means you have to categorize your service or product into easy-to-understand categories that will load quickly. We will guide you to not overwhelm any one category with too many graphics or words. We create your navigation system to directly reflect the categories you use to communicate your message.

Your Graphic Choices - For some clients, such as retailers, this is another challenging step. We work from photographs, disks, e-mailed jpgs, transparencies, or brochure material. Many of my web sites are created from vendor catalog sheets. Processing graphics is the most time-consuming step when creating most web sites. We am Photoshop savvy. Tightening up contrast, cleaning up the color, deleting unrelated material, and dropping out backgrounds (to decrease loading time) often take fifteen minutes per graphic. For most sites, the number of graphics will determine the cost of your site.

Choosing Your Text - We do not charge for text if you transmit it to us electronically. We just lift it from a disk or e-mail and drop it into your website. If there are sizable amounts of italics, bolds, or unusual indentations, We charge our normal hourly rate for the additional coding. Most sites, aside from academic sites (lots of italics), do not incur any charges. Copy for the web should be short, clear, concise and easy to read.
