1) What are your needs?
We start the process by having you fill out our quote form. This form gathers information about the sort of website you would like. We use this information to help us deliver an accurate quote so will contact you for further information if necessary.

2) About Quotes
Once your information is evaluated we will send you a soft proposal - a basic outline of the work we see that needs to be done with all associated costs.

Proposals are formulated by considering all the work involved as well as the complexity of that work. The complexity of your project is directly related to the time it will take for us to formulate a quote, so please take into consideration that this may take us a day or two. Every project is different and different projects may take longer to analyse for a quote.

• Once an estimate is delivered, all add on services/work, redesign on any level and "after thoughts" are considered additional work and will be billed accordingly.
• Quotes are valid for 30 days.

3) We have an agreement? Let's start designing!
We start the actual design process. If you do not understand the smallest of points at this step PLEASE ASK FOR CLARIFICATION! Miscommunication and false expectations do NOT move the design process forward in a productive manner. At ANY time please contact us about any concerns, questions or comments you have about your project.

4) Collecting Your Materials
Text, print, copy, brochures, products, pictures, product weight & cost... we need it ALL to get your site going. The more you provide us with the better.

5) Mockup Sites and Sample Layouts
The fun part - we put together some mock Web sites for your company to critique and discuss. At this point we're trying to narrow down exactly what you're looking for in terms of design and layout. Your feedback is essential in the Web design process and is welcomed at any time.

6) Site Architecture
Navigation is one of the most important parts of your site. Site architecture is established at this point to ensure your visitors don't get lost on your site. We use text links, graphic menus and buttons with rollovers to accomplish this.

7) Working with Materials
Resizing photos, photo optimisation, colour sampling (for people who want to match a corporate color to their site design), product weight & pictures and similar tasks are all done during this phase of the Web design process.

8) Establishing Project Design / Look & Feel
Based on your feedback from the mockup site(s) a design is established and used for your Web site.

9) Establishing Layout Of Site
Based on your feedback from the mockup site(s) a layout is established and is applied to your Web site.

10) Home Page First
Starting with your home page, the main page, we start building your Web site. After this part is completed and approved we move on. If you have requested your site be optimized for the search engines, it will be started at this time.

11) Sub Pages Second
The sub-pages (based upon layout and design from 7, 8 & 9) are now worked on until completion. Forms, Flash, CGI, XSSI, PHP and any other technologies are now added to your site at this time.

12) Web Site Completion and Debugging
We make certain your site will work regardless of operating system, browser or any other unique setup your target audience may have.

13) Confirmation
We confirm that you are happy with the finished product. If not we rework the components which need fixing.

14) Site goes "Live"
Your site is published for the world to see! You can now start advertising your site, telling friends, business acquaintances and publish print material.

15) We invoice you for the work undertaken
This will match the quoted price unless you have made further modifications (added content or other technologies) which involve more work along the way.
