The Design Process

As your website is constructed you will be working with a web designer one-on-one through e-mail and over the phone. Any materials necessary to complete the project can be e-mailed directly to the web designer. Questions regarding the design process can also be directed to the web designer. The following is the web design process from start to finish:

• Initial phone appointment is conducted so web designer can introduce himself/herself to client. Any material or content necessary to design the template will be given to web designer.
  
  
• Construction of template design begins.
  
  
• Client approves template design.
  
  
• Construction of website begins. Additional content or material can be added as the website is built within the template.
  
  
• Website is uploaded to client’s server or a 3rd party server for approval.
  
  
• If requested, web designer will optimize code to be search engine friendly.
  
  
• Client approves final website design. If any further improvements need to be made, it will be done at this time.
