If you are con­sid­er­ing get­ting a new web­site, the type of site you end up with will depend on your input — the more details about the con­tent you can provide me with, the bet­ter. I can make decisions regard­ing the type, lay­out and fea­tures of the site, and can even choose a col­our scheme and style. The main inform­a­tion I require from you is:

• What is the site pro­mot­ing, shar­ing, selling or inform­ing people about?
• Roughly how many cat­egor­ies of inform­a­tion are there? For example an intro­duc­tion, photo gal­lery, con­tact page, etc.

addi­tional points for you to consider:

 

• Primar­ily, what type of con­tent are you going to have on your site? Lots of text? Lots of pho­to­graphs?
  
• What is the gen­eral look you’re going for? Plain and simple, fancy, formal, cas­ual, pretty, typeface, etc?
• Is the col­our scheme going to be …. muted, bold, white, black, com­pany colours?
• Do you want inter­act­ive ele­ments? A cal­en­dar, forum, online forms, search box, slideshow, videos, photo gal­lery, etc?
• How about social media integ­ra­tion (Face­book, Google+, Twit­ter, etc)?
• Selling products online? Do you need a shop­ping cart?
• Do you want to be able to update the text your­self in the future (CMS)?
• Would you like to have a blog, where people can leave posts and comments?

(I can assist you with the answers if you’re not sure)

and then .……

We will meet for a face-to-face dis­cus­sion about the site design and your require­ments. If not in per­son, we will com­mu­nic­ate via email.

I will provide a detailed quote, and if accep­ted, you then send me the text and pic­tures, and I begin the design process.

When the struc­ture of the site is com­pleted it will be uploaded to a test area on the inter­net for your approval or revisions.

Upon approval, your site will be moved to the domain you have selec­ted. And that’s it … your web­site is now ‘live’.
