First Steps
Getting Started
To get started, you will need to complete a few basic steps.
First, register your domain(s) and purchase a hosting package. Using a Word .doc to layout the page basics will help us deliver your site quickly. (Don’t forget to include any headlining, italics, bold type, underlining, etc.) Next, get your images and words together. Let us know which picture goes where. Tell us how many pages you want and how they need to relate to one another-a simple hand-drawn sketch works fine or get as creative as you want. Let us know if there are any specific colors you would like to use. And get us a list of words for which you would like the search engines to find your site.
Now that you’ve finished that, fill out our Contact Form. The form must be completed to get your site finished in a timely manner. Lastly, submit the required deposit amount through the secure PayPal™ invoice that we send you.
That’s it. Sit back and get ready. You deserve a break.
OK, so there are a few technicalities involved. Like these:
- Hosting must have MySQL 5+ and PHP 5+ capabilities
- Site images must be high resolution 300 pixels/inch, minimum size: 2000 pixels in one direction, .jpg or .png file extensions
- Site copy/content as Word .doc with basic formatting-bold, italic, headline, etc.-outlined
- A list of pages required with basic navigational layout
- A description of site features and functionality desired (calendars, subscriptions-put together the wish list, we’ll see what we can do).
- All site META data: keywords and descriptions for search engines
(Confused by what all of this means? Email us or complete the “Quick Question” form {over there→} and we’ll walk you through the process.)
