Site Design

In the web design stage the goal is to visually represent through web graphics, color, style, and web page layouts the thoughts and ideas we established in the planning stage. The questions below will help us determine your design preferences.

• Do you already have a certain image in print that you want to maintain online to create consistency? If not, will you be needing a corporate identity and logo designed?
• What type of first impression do you want to make on your visitors?
• What "feel and style" best suits your business? Hard-edged? Retail? Open-warm? High-tech? Clean?
• Do you have a preference so far as colors?

A good way to convey what style you want, is to provide the web addresses or URLs of other web sites you like. What web sites do you find attractive? Are there any you would like to visually emulate? Of course these web sites won't be copied, but are a great source for us to see the styles that appeal to you.

Once we understand your design parameters, we will then create a design schema or shell design of just the home page. It will be posted online for you to review. We'll discuss likes, dislikes, possible changes, additions, and modifications to the initial design. It's important at this stage to get the design exactly as you want it because it will serve as the design scheme for the remainder of the site.

Once the design meets your approval, it's time to move on to the construction phase of the project.
