How it works

Tell me about your business and what you’re hoping to achieve with your website.

If we're geographically distant, no problem! We'll chat over Zoom.

Let’s discuss:

  • the type of site - a web site, online shop, and whether you want a blog
  • your deadline
  • what you want to say (I can help you with the copy)
  • ideas for the style of your site
  • your domain name (which I can organise on your behalf)
  • web hosting (which I can organise on your behalf)
  • the details of your Google account - if you don't already have one, I can create one for you - this will be used to make sure that Google can find your site
  • links to social media

At this stage, you can give me your copy (text) and images.

Based on our discussions, I’ll give you a written proposal.

The proposal will cover:

  • the timeframe
  • the total cost
  • a description of the site
  • what pages will be created
  • for shopping sites, how many products and images I’ll upload
  • a description of image presentation, e.g., a gallery or slideshow
  • how many images will be optimised for the site

You read, sign, and return the proposal with any necessary modifications. You pay a non-refundable deposit of 25% of the total cost.

I'll give you images showing the possible layout(s) and suggested colour schemes and fonts.

  • You can decide on a colour scheme and fonts. These can be easily changed if you find something you prefer.
  • We decide where things are going to go on the various size screens (desktop, tablet, and ‘phone)
  • Once you’ve approved a layout, I create the initial site, consisting of the home page and one other page (if they have different layouts - if not, then it will just be the home page)
  • At this stage, I can still make any changes you want, including layout

Now we can discuss any changes you’d like to make to the layout, fonts, and colours of your site. This is your last opportunity to change the layout.

You’ll receive an updated link where you can view the changes.

  • You provide me with written approval of the updated site
  • You make a non-refundable payment of 50% of the total cost
  • You or I register the domain name
  • You or I organise web hosting
  • At this stage, you can choose to change colours and fonts, but changing the layout will incur an extra cost

You pay the balance of the costs and you have a website!

Once your site is live, I can take you through how it works, and you will receive a help page for your site.

You can contact me if you need any help at all.

The help page will include:

  • address of your site and admin area
  • information on how to edit text and images
  • how to add and remove users
  • instructions on how to backup and restore your site
