I whip web sites into submission, but I'm nice to everyone else.

From Concept to Completion

The Design Process and How it Works

  1. You create a budget, cast your vision, and browse around to find examples of what you like and don't like. (Use our handy-dandy worksheet to streamline this process.) Then, talk to me.
  2. I will take a look at what you have and give you advice on how to move forward. We will put together the project specs, and then I will provide you an estimate for the project cost or an estimated breakdown of project hours.
  3. After you approve the quote (or renegotiate), then pay a deposit. $200 of that is non-refundable should the project get cancelled before design sketches are created.
  4. You will then start working on pulling your content together -- all the text and images that you want on your site. I will provide feedback to help you get the content web-friendly.
  5. I take your content and create wireframes, which are a rough layout of your site content in a form that allows you to see how the navigation would work between the pages and how the content might be laid out on a page, without colors or design applied. We can tweak the content and layout so that the site is usable.
  6. Then, I will work on some initial design sketches. After receiving feedback from you, I'll tweak the designs as necessary.
  7. When you are happy, approve the sketches.
  8. I will turn the sketches into reality. After adding the content, images, and functionality, you will be able to see a working sample at a temporary link.
  9. When you give final approval, I will submit an invoice for the remainder of the cost. After you pay, I will publish the web site and transfer the files over.
  10. At this point, we can discuss further plans for future updates or training.

(Note: The payment schedule will vary from project to project. I'll include a payment schedule with the estimate!)
