My work flow... |
|
As of: October 26th, 2009
First of all we need to address the concept of work
flow...
Short version: Work flow in web design is nothing more
than the process we use to get the job done. It is very
important to understand that every web designer works
differently, but that it is oftentimes a tactic used by my
professional peers when that process is not transparent.
That is why I have taken the time to make my workflow clear
for you...
|
I use a website called
Dream
Template to allow my customers to shop for a
website look that they would like customized for
them by a professional web designer. Go ahead and
take a look!
There you'll find over 2,700
web templates to chose from, and as you can see
you have two options for payment (actually you
have three): $59 for a one year membership, or pay
the unique price for that website (usually more
than $2,000, it depends on the website). Your
third option is to hire me to customize the
website for you, and you will pay the unique price
for that website, but here is what you'll get in
addition to have a template customized for you by
Dream Template...
- You will hire me as your personal web
designer. A person you can call, meet with
(if you are local to me), submit changes
to throughout the process and most
importantly... you can hire me for any
other work that you need related to your
website as well.
- I will talk you out of a tree! We're
going to do a professional business
analysis and determine your needs, your
budget, and I'll let you know when you're
considering technology that you don't
really need. Find another web designer
that does that!
- After we determine your business needs
I will give you a written proposal that
you and I will work on until it is a
document that both if us are happy with.
There will be no hidden costs, and all of
my estimates for contracted outside
service are cost plus so you can rest
assured that even the variables will never
grow out of control without you knowing
exactly what you're getting into. My
promise to you is NO SURPRISES!!!
- I will brand the website with a
custom, unique, hand made logo for you at
no additional cost that you can use for
anything else you chose, delivered in any
format that you need and any size that you
request!
- I will optimize your website to rank
as high as humanely possible in Google. I
will explain the process and how it works,
but I will also work with you to advertise
your website at cost if you need more or
local market saturation.
- I will create the content for
every web page that is included with the
web template. I will work directly with
you to gather the information, edit it,
submit it to you for review and make any
necessary adjustments until you are
satisfied with the final product.
- I will use Cascading Style Sheets
(CSS) and server-side includes (SSI) to allow you to make
future changes very simple in the future.
I'll explain this powerful technique to
you in detail when we talk later on, but
trust me... this alone is worth hiring a
professional web designer.
- For very reasonable rates I can and
will install any web technology you want
on your website! If for example you want a
shopping cart that is professionally done,
I will work with other vendors to give you
exactly what you are looking for at cost
plus pricing (cost plus a very reasonable
hourly rate).
- I will register your domain name and
pay for 2 years of hosting, and you will
be given the keys when I am done. I work
for you, and I don't hold ANYTHING back
from my customers.
- You will have your own email address
(you@yourdomain.com), and I will configure your email client to send a copy to any email address you desire and even show you how alerts can be sent to your cell phone alerting you that "you've got mail!"
As you can see, you get a lot for your
money when you hire me as your personal web
designer. I have all the professional tools
needed to tackle any project, and I work with
technical specialist for projects that require
the purchase of off the self web technologies
not included with the web template you chose
for your initial purchase. Go ahead and shop
around. I am confident that you'll be back
because I don't know ANYBODY who not only does
what I do, but that can or would do it for the
price I will do it for every day of the week.
How can I work so cheap so such high
quality work at such unbeatable prices?
I don't have a team of web and graphics
designers on payroll, so you aren't hiring a
firm... you're hiring me. I will knock out
your website in about a week, and after I
account for my business expenses I can still
make a good living while saving you thousands!
The key to my success is that I keep busy
enough to keep my business rolling, but I
don't get greedy and venture into creating a
web farm that becomes a bloated business no
matter how hard you try to keep it lean.
Got questions? Call me at 360-286-0752 and
we'll talk! If the price for a particular
product is a problem we can discuss payments
that can fit your budget.
Believe it or not that's not all either,
but you get the idea by now. I have tons of
free products that you can take advantage of
through my preferred web hosting service, but
as you will find out... this deal will just
keep getting better the more you learn about
it.
