The 10 Step Process
To Create Your Website
I have a plan and a strategy to create your small business website.
This keeps us on the same page and also helps you know how close we are to launching your website.
Step 01
Consultation
Free. No obligation. We sit down and talk about your goals and what you’re looking for in a website.
Step 02
Proposal
I’ll create a custom proposal for you to look over. I’ll include the scope of work and all the details for you to consider with your website.
Step 03
Ask Questions
A website can be a big investment. I want to make sure that all your questions are answered and addressed before we move on. Ask all the questions you want!
Step 04
Contract & Invoice
If everything looks good & you’re excited to move forward, sign the simple contract at the back of the proposal. I’ll also send you an invoice for the 50% deposit.
Step 05
Set-Up Hosting
(NOTE: Only applies to WordPress sites. If your site is designed on Squarespace, the hosting is included).
Your WordPress website needs a place to live. We’ll set you up with a hosting solution (I recommend A2 Hosting) and set-up your domain if needed.
Step 06
Homework
I’ll send you a detailed list of content that I need from you. I’ll ask you a number of questions that will result in the text that we use on the site. You’ll also submit photos, videos, etc.
Step 07
Design
Now it’s getting fun! I take your content and any pictures we’ve taken and start to bring it all together. I’ll create the homepage first and then start building out the other pages.
Step 08
Revisions
I’ll share the design with you as we go along so you can be involved with any necessary revisions. This is YOUR site. Your satisfaction is what we’re after.
Step 09
Go Live
This is it … the moment you’ve been waiting for! We go live and let the world see your awesome new website.
Step 10
Training/Hand-Off
It’s all yours. I’ll turn the reins over to you. I’ll provide you with some resources so you’ll know how to make updates and changes moving forward.
