Building your online presence

:: Conception to Completion
Close contact between the customer and a professional designer is the most important aspect of the website design process to ensure YOU, the customer, aquire the completed results you expect. Below you will find an organized list of steps that will help guide you through the construction of your online presence.

• Why do I need/want a website?
  This is the first question you should ask yourself. It is important not only to you as a company or organization to understand your online needs, but also critical for the designer to understand your desire to have an online presence.
• Free initial consultation.
  After you have determined your online needs a free initial 1 hour consultation will be arranged either via phone or in person, depending on the geographical location. During this session we will discuss what is necessary to provide your online presence. If you don't already have a domain name (also called a url or web address) we will work with you to choose an appropriate and available name. We will also discuss what your company or organization will use the web site for and let you know what will be expected from you as a company or organization to develop your web site.
• Identify target market.
  Identifying your target market at the beginning of construction is a critical component to the structure of a robot friendly site for proper search engine optimization (seo). This will ensure the necessary key words are incorporated into the body of your site as it is constructed.
• Gather information
  At this point the client will supply the designer with body text and images that will be incorporated in the site. To ensure the set deadline is met, it is important the client supply these materials in a timely manner.
• Skeletal site layout
  Construction of your site will begin with a skeletal layout including a navigation system, image placeholders and body text. The site will be put on an online ftp site for client review. At this time basic layout design will be fine tuned through client/designer consultations.
• Site construction
  The designer will complete the development of the site and submit a final product to the client for proof reading and approval. Any changes to the site will be made at this time and resubmitted to the client.
• Going live
  Upon site completion and payment, the site will be put live on the world wide web.
• Site submission
  Once the site is live it will be submitted to the top ten search engines for inclusion. Additional site submission, optimization, and internet marketing can then be administered by the client or under a separate search engine optimization (seo) contract.

:: Flash Animation and the web

The use of Flash Animation has it's place on the web. In recent years, as Flash as become more popular, new web designers use it as often as they can because it's fun. This is true, Flash is fun, but it can also be annoying if every time a customer clicks back on a page with Flash, the animation runs. Especially if the animation is put in a loop, meaning it runs over and over. It can be very distracting when the customer is trying to read something of importance. Always consider your customer or visitor when using Flash. Remember, You want to keep visitors interested your pages and coming back.
