Here’s how our Parade Rolls...
Stage 1- Planning & Consultation - Our Crew getting to know your crew... This will require at least a brief phone, meeting or email discussion to assess your goals for the site, content, design, style, etc...
To prepare, you should begin to gather: All content that you would like to present on your web site including text copy and digital photos/graphics( if you need help with things such as professional photographers, we can help).
All existing marketing materials such as logos, illustrations, charts, graphs, brochures, business cards, mailers, etc.
Other web sites that you would like for us to review for reference and comparison.
URL's of your competitors and industry-related resources.
Examples of other items that we will discuss: Your purpose for the site (informational vs. e-commerce), what you hope to accomplish, your budget, your deadline, etc. There are MANY more important aspects to planning a web site. Once you contact us, we will begin to address these issues...
Stage 2- Design & Development - Burning the Midnight Oil...(Red Bull on the side table) - During this stage, we will begin to design & develop your site. We will provide a private URL where you can review designs that have been created, as well as check on the progress of the development. After the site has been completed according to our earlier agreements, and it has been thoroughly tested through different platforms, we will begin the last stage of production.
Stage 3- Implementation & Transfer - Flipping the switch... - This occurs when we upload your site to the live server for the “launch”. Final invoice balance will be due within 7 days of the completion of your project.
We wish to keep this a pleasurable experience...We keep things pretty casual! Not a lot of contracts and red tape for you to sort through. This is why we decided to Freelance. We like working with our clients(friends-to-be), meeting new people, and learning about new industries. Most of our clients are those who want the same types of things, and do not want to be confused by a lot of “technical jargon”, or to be put-off by firms who are not available for their questions and concerns. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Your input and suggestions are welcomed and encouraged. While all this is a creative process, it is of the utmost importance to us that you are happy and satisfied with your new creation in form, function and appearance.
