Step 1...Determine what you want to accomplish by being on the web
> Many people want to sell products on the Internet, others just want to display information about their products and services, while others will display surveys or test new ideas. We will work with you to determine your priorities and what it is that you want to accomplish. |
|
|
Step 2...Gather your information
> Collect all your existing marketing materials (i.e. company brochures, product information, logo artwork, press releases, contact lists, etc.) |
|
|
Step 3...Discuss all website packages and options
> After reviewing your information we will discuss your options and what would be best for your business. We recommend starting small and growing your web presence as your Internet business grows. |
|
|
Step 4...Sign service agreement
> Once the agreed upon package has been put together, a service agreement needs to be signed, and any applicable deposit payment made. |
|
|
Step 5...Website development and implementation
> After the preliminary design of your website is ready, you will be notified for review and comments. During this design & review process we complete the look and feel that will match your business needs. Once you agree that your website is ready to present to the general public, we will transfer your files to your selected hosting service. |
