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.
Award project
50% of the total project fee is due upon your approval of the project estimate.
Research
We work with you to gather and organize information about your company, communications objectives, expectations and goals.
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.
Evaluation
Based upon your direction and input, we will develop and/or revise designs until you are 100% satisfied. The next installment of 25% of the website design fee is due upon approval of the concept/design direction.
Execution
Your approved concept/design direction will be programmed into the appropriate code along with indicated images, forms, scripting, links and database (if applicable).
Testing
We will upload your site to our servers for beta testing—finalization of links, copy and graphics. Your site remains private until the process is complete.
Approval
Upon final approval of your website, the remaining 25% of website design fee is due.
Posting
Your site will be uploaded to appropriate servers, and "go live."
Hosting
If you do not have a hosting service, Kristof Creative can provide effective, reliable and competitively priced hosting services. More information about our web site hosting services can be reviewed in more detail by clicking here.
Digital Archive
All files for each element of your web site design will be digitally archived to a cross-platform CD-ROM, along with corresponding file index.
Project Timing
Based on the scope of work to be completed, a final delivery date will be determined in advance. Final delivery date is dependent on a timely client approval process.
Additional
Because each project has it own unique requirements, the actual process and payment schedule can differ on a case-by-case basis.
Estimate does not not include hosting, scanning, digital retouching and alterations, or outside costs including, but not limited to, photography, copywriting, stock imagery, state or local sales tax, where applicable, freight shipping or other miscellaneous charges.
