Learn about the website Design Process
Phase I: Discussion We have a chat over the phone, or over coffee... whichever you prefer! We talk about who you are, what your business is, and what you need done. We define the services required and thus a project scope to estimate timelines and costs. At this point I require a 50% deposit ($150 minimum) before work commences (and to hold a specific project start date). For straight-forward website development: Client provides complete proofed text content Client provides full size images in .JPG format Client provides any specifically requested font files.
Phase II: Design Concept A Design Concept is created based on the discussed requirements of the Client; navigation, layout, images, colors, etc. are determined; typically one week*. Two revision phases included in the Design Concept fee ($300). Additional revisions billed at $40/hour rate. Client must approve Design Concept before proceeding to Development. 1/2 down payment required to begin phase III)
Phase III: Development Your website will be developed based on the approved Design Concept. Additional pages or design elements out of scope of the approved Design Concept will be billed accordingly. Typical Development time from receipt of all materials (images, final draft of text content) to completion of development is two weeks*.
Phase IV: Final Proofs & Launch Once the website is developed, the client is responsible for a complete proof of the entire website. Please submit all edits in one point-form list. Clarity is very important! Edits may be complete within seven business days*, and website will be ready for final approval and launch. Two revision phases (batches of edits) are included. Additional revisions are then billed at my hourly rate. Payment in full is due upon website launch (or end of second revision phase).* Design and development time may vary, depending upon current workload and client feedback delays (i.e. if client goes away on holiday).
