→Web Design

Welcome to the Design portion of the web site. If you're browsing this page it's obvious that you may be interested in seeing my past projects or are wondering how much it would cost to get a web site developed by me. My skills include a high understanding of HTML, PHP, CSS, and MySQL programming, plus a great knowledge of the Internet, photoshop and turning visions into reality. I currently do freelance work at affordable rates so read on if you're still intrigued.

Initiation Stage

The first step in the process is what I'd like to call the "initiation stage." Once you've decided what you want your site to be, and have a full detailed outline or explanation, please contact me so I can get back to you with a cost estimate. This estimate will detail what parts of the project will be most expensive and take the most amount of time, so in turn it will give you the best idea of how your site will be created, how much time it should take and how much of your budget it will exhaust. If you have a maximum limit to the amount of money you can spend, let me know, I always do my best in making my time affordable.

Contract Stage

In this stage, once you have read through the cost estimate we will discuss it and I will write out a contract, print it, sign and send two copies for you to sign. One is your copy and the second is mine. The contract enables both parties to be assured that they will receive their end of the agreement. It is important to know that I do request a third (1/3) of the total payment in advance.

Working Stage

The most important stage by far, the "working stage" is, essentially, when I build the site based off of examples, ideas and images formulated and contributed by you to fit your vision. I will keep an updated version of the site online so you will always be able to see the progress and send feedback so I can only help you better. This stage is finished once the deadline is met and the entire site is finished

Final Stage

The last of the four stages is probably the most celebratory for the both of us. The site is exchanged along with the last two-thirds (2/3) of the money. Any last minute changes will be accepted and I will be in contact if their are any troubleshooting problems or fixes you want for the site.
