First, get in touch with me, either by email or phone. Go to the contact us page for this information. Tell me about your company's goals and any other information you think pertinent.

I will return your call or email, and if it is practical, we can arrange an in-person meeting, or we can discuss your plans on the phone or by email.

I will put together a text-based "storyboard" summarizing the contents of each page and may also include a mock-up of a proposed graphical design. I will include an estimate of the cost with this and mail or email this to you for your approval.

Once the decision has been made to go ahead, I will draw up a contract specific to your particular web site. We will negotiate until both parties are satisfied.

At this point, a partial payment should be made, with the remainder due when the site is hosted.

You will provide me (by mail or email) specific photographs you may wish to include in the design, as well as any text content you specifically desire.

When the design is approved, I will start coding. I will periodically upload finished files to my web site so that you may look at them.

I will then work on a graphic design and a "theme" for web site as a whole. I will put these files in a subdirectory of my web site so you can view and approve them.

You can, at any time, submit your domain name for registration to Network Solutions or another registering agency of your choice.

Before the site is finished, with your approval, I may set up the hosting account and move the home page to the host in order to submit the site to search engines and allow sufficient time for the site to become registered on the search engines.

When the site is finished I will notify you for your final approval.

I will then move the entire site to the host and we can discuss other marketing strategies.
