MARKETING PLANS

To accurately develop a marketing plan to meet your needs requires work on your part prior to contacting us:

1. Select a plan that you feel best fits your needs. Need help? Wait until you talk to us and we can assist you with that.
2. Assemble product catalogs or service descriptions, any specific information that might be relevant to the marketing plan, and the goals you wish to achieve.
3. Call us to schedule an appointment. During this appointment we will give a solid quote on the plan you select based on the information you provide us.
4. Payment in full is required to begin work.
5. Work begins immediately with the development of the marketing plan. Upon your approval of the plan, we implement the plan over a specified period.

CONSULTATION AND DESIGN

Web site design and/or marketing plans actually start before we ever talk to one another! Prior to our consultation, you'll need to complete the following tasks:

1. Visit our Portfolio section and select a design category and possibly one or two site designs that you like as a starting point (best when they come from the same category). If you are looking for just marketing of an existing site, you can skip this step.
2. Assemble information about your company to send us. We will need marketing materials, product catalogs or service descriptions, company organization, e-commerce or not, company history, markets you wish to pursue, and key personnel (especially those who work directly with customers or clients).
3. Contact us to schedule an initial consultation appointment. This is FREE.
4. During this appointment we collect the data needed to start putting together the proposal and/or market plan (depending on what services you wish us to perform or propose) with a solid quote on the work. Our process takes approximately 2 to 3 business days to send a complete written proposal based on our conversation of the project. (changes during the development or final stages require an additional fee based on the changes to be made).
5. Once you have accepted the proposal we must collect half of the fees owed for the project to begin the work. The balance is due prior to sending the final site to you. There are no exceptions to this policy.
6. Work begins immediately. Your input will be involved in all aspects of the design from the initial development of the initial page or pages to content development, layout, page development, site building, and the marketing process. If you are ordering a marketing package without design your work begins at this point.
7. The complete process from initial consult to finished product can take from 2 to 4 weeks for design projects and the time frames listed for each marketing package.
8. If you are providing content, we will need this when we begin work after the initial page design is approved.

SITE CONSTRUCTION

We build your home page and other pages and place your content so you'll know exactly what the finished product will look like. We will review the site on both a Mac and PC, through Explorer, Navigator and AOL interfaces.

REVIEW AND EDITING

You have 5 business days from the construction posting date to review your site and make any content, icon, symbol or text stylization corrections. At this stage, changes cannot be made to the basic structure or navigation of the site.

The best way to get corrections to us is to print out your new site pages, write out your corrections, and fax the pages to us at 601-271-7866. We will make the corrections and ask you to review the site one more time to catch small typos and errors. This is your final review. Any changes made after this final review will incur consultation charges at $75/hour.
