Our goal is to make you comfortable working with us, even if you've never used professional creative services before. And, of course, your 100% satisfaction. To meet those goals we'd like to explain what you can expect, right up front.

Preliminary Exploration
During this phase we will create and present initial design directions for the website. Each direction will include a "Home Page" along with a corresponding "Secondary Page" design.

Your approved concept/design direction will be programmed into the appropriate code along with indicated images, forms, scripting, links and database (if applicable).

We will upload your site to our servers for beta testingfinalization of links, copy and graphics. Your site remains private until the process is complete.

Upon final approval of your website, the remaining 25% of website design fee is due.

Your site will be uploaded to appropriate servers, and "go live."

Project Timing
