- Content Writing and Editing
- Website Search Engine Submission
- E-Mail Set-up
- Site maintenance
Website Development and Design
1. Discussion of the goals you want to achieve through your site.
Is it
strictly informational or do you want to use it to attract
participants or customers? Will it include e-commerce?
What kind of
"look and feel" do you want for the site?
2. Development of site structure (navigation needs, display
requirements, number of pages and so forth).
3. Choice of a design look or visual concept. I will
provide several options from which you may choose, and the specific
design will follow from your choice.
4. Insertion of content (copy
writing and/or editing services provided, if
desired), graphics, pictures (with optimization for the Web), etc.
5. Thorough testing of all elements.
6. "Publishing" the site to the Internet.
7. Delivery to you of all access codes and ownership
information.
Domain
Registration and ISP selection
Choice and registration of domain name (www.yourcompany.com) and Internet Service
Provider (the Internet host for your site). I can advise you in the selection of these items or work
with your current domain name and ISP. Either way, you will
own your domain name and be responsible for renewal of your domain
and ISP contract. I will be glad to help you with choice and initial
payment arrangements.
Content Writing and Editing
Content affects Search Engine rankings. If yours is a personal
site or one that can easily be found by a Web surfer, Search
Engine rankings may not be important to you. If you are a
business and need to attract customers, your copy will be critical
to your success. You may choose to write your own copy, or you
may be too busy with your daily business to have the time or comfort
level to write your own copy. I can help you with writing and
editing, or I can add the content you provide.
Website Search
Engine Submission (optional, but recommended) I will
submit your site to the major search engines so that your "public"
can find you.
E-Mail Set-up
Most ISPs will offer email services for your Web site. I can
save you time and energy by setting these up for you and showing you
how to retrieve your email, or you may prefer to do your own set-up.
Site maintenance
You may choose to make updates after the initial
publication of your Web site. If so, I'm happy to show you how to do
this. Or, if you you prefer, I can update your site.
Updates are billed at an hourly rate of $50, with a minimum charge
of 1/4 hour. Depending on the amount of work involved, billing can
be monthly or quarterly.
