A design representative will contact you to discuss your ideas and provide a quote. If you wish to proceed with the construction stage of your website, a 50% non-refundable deposit will be required to proceed which will be deducted from the final balance of your website.
Within a pre-determined time frame, we will submit a sample website for you. This is a “test” site which is not yet live, a place where you can view the progress and continuously provide suggestions and feedback until you are satisfied. Your feedback is encouraged to ensure we are heading towards your vision. We will work together throughout this entire process, discuss your likes & dislikes and you are free to make as many changes as you feel necessary until a layout meets your approval. It is critical at this stage to get the layout exactly how you envision it as it will be your template to build the content portion of your site.
When you are 100% happy with the site we will set up hosting services, plan the launch date and arrange payment of the final balance. You will need a place to park your site so people can find it. That’s where hosting comes in. When we host your site, we store your files and provide bandwidth so visitors can access your site. Be assured your site will be in safe hands!
