Once you have been provided with all of the possible options, our representative will assist you in gathering the essential content for the preliminary design layout. Our representative will then provide his/her contact information so that you may closely observe and address the progress throughout the development of your site.
How long will it take for my website to be finished?
There are many factors that contribute to the length of time it takes to complete a website. Here are some of the following:
- Size of the website
- Amount of content received
- Amount of content necessary
- Any database requirements
- Any e-commerce requirements
On average, it takes approximately one month from the start date of development to complete a website. In order to efficiently progress on your website, it is essential that we have all of the necessary content during the very early stages of design.
Given the unique needs and circumstances surrounding your website’s development, we will work to ensure its completion in as little time as possible.
What content do I need to provide to begin the design and development of my website?
In order to obtain a clear idea of your organization and its vision, we may ask for the following items of content:
- Marketing materials (such as brochures, logos, cardstock, etc.)
- Product line descriptions
- Mission Statement, Vision, and Values
- Photos or images of the organization, staff, & products
- Contact information, biographies
- Content for the “About Us” section
It is fundamental that these items be received before other services such as SEO, e-commerce, and database design are implemented. Therefore, it is in your best interest to provide these items as soon as they are available to you.
On what medium and format should I bring the content for my website?
When you arrive with any of the content necessary for the development of your website, ensure that it passes the following guidelines:
| Examples | Format | Medium | |
| Digital Images | Logos Staff Photos Product Photos | jpg eps psd ai tiff | Disk CD USB |
| Text | Mission Statement About Us Contact Information | doc (Microsoft Word) | Disk CD USB |
If you cannot provide content in these formats, then original photos or printed marketing media may be scanned in and optimized by a member of our development team. If you have any questions regarding format or mediums for your content, contact your representative and they will be glad to assist you.
How much content should I supply?
When deciding how much content to provide, our standard rule of thumb is forty lines of text and/or four pictures are enough to fill one web page. However, the necessary amount of content varies depending on the size of your website.
It is in your best interest to provide only content that you feel deserves space on the site, and communicates a clear message to your customer. Please refrain from bringing a large amount of unnecessary content.
During the design process, the web developer responsible for your website will gladly advise you in what should be provided for areas requiring more content.
How many staff members are involved in the development of my website?
There are three team members that will assist in the development of your website before its launch: a representative, a coordination team member, and a web development team member. You may communicate with any of these three staff members during various stages of the conception and development processes.
Together, these three members work in cohesion to ensure that your website optimally reaches the right consumer at the right time with the most compelling message.
When will I be contacted regarding the progress of my website?
After your web development team member has received all of the content necessary to begin designing your website, you can expect a call within one week detailing an overview of the completed preliminary steps in development.
At this time, your web developer will then allow you to preview your Home Page. To view your Home Page, you will receive a “Preview” address. During this preview stage, you are welcome to communicate your approval, inquiries, or suggestions for revision.
If you have requested changes to the website, a coordination team member will then implement the appropriate changes according to your specifications. You will have more opportunities to preview your website with the developer in the upcoming weeks.
Provided the development process has run optimally, the final “Preview” occurs approximately during the fourth week. A coordination team member will contact you, and review your website with you as a finished product. After we have received your approval, we will officially set up your contact information, domain name, and launch your website!
Will I be able to view my website as it is being developed?
Absolutely. You will receive a “Preview” address from one of our coordination team members during the early stages in development. With this address, your website will be available for your viewing from any browser. What you see in the preview portrays exactly what will be displayed to users of the web after its launch.
Please Take Note: The public will not be able to see your preview website until it is complete and officially launched.
It is also important that you take note of any changes you would like to be implemented. Periodically, a coordination team member will contact you to review the status of your website, and ensure your satisfaction with its progress. During this time, you are welcome to make suggestions regarding color, placement, size, text, navigation, etc.
