What We Don't Do

We don't do bogus link pages or link trades that offer no value to your customers. We don't do splash pages that require an "enter" click to get into the site proper. We don't frame other people's web content. We don't do automated pop ups. We don't open separate browser windows... in other words, we don't do things to your site visitors that we hate having done to us.

The Website Design Process

1. We get together and have an initial meeting. This could be in person, or if you are located further afield, via phone. This is the time to tell me what your product or service is all about and what you hope to achieve with a web site. I ask you what you consider is special about your product or business and what extra or exceptional things I need to be aware of (e.g. trademark issues). We also discuss inputs: text, photos, logos... all the elements that will go into to making your site. We decide who will provide which inputs. Sometimes I take the photos for your site, or write the text or create logos*.
2. I email you a quote. The quote details that we discussed at the initial meeting and confirms a firm price for you to budget on.
3. If you wish to proceed I ask you for a 25% deposit.
4. After I receive your deposit and inputs, I put together a screenshot of your new site design. This is just an image. I email this to you and ask for your comments. Its purpose is to provide a starting point for discussion on the design and to proceed through successive drafts until we agree the design meets your objectives.
5. I then convert the screenshot to HTML, the language of the web.
6. Once the site is complete I ask for your review and some of the finer points are ironed out.
7. Once you feel the site is ready I proceed to search engine marketing and linking your site to known resources. I ask for your help in spotting and requesting sites to be linked to.
8. The invoice. 15 day payment terms.
9. Down the track, if changes are required or if new sections or information are added to your site, these edits are charged at $55 per hour including GST. If you believe you are going to have a lot of changes, we need to discuss a content management system for you at step 1, above.
