Webpage design Specifications and Requirements:

 

Because I have a small office, and I am physically unable to travel to your location, I request that all customer communications be through E-mail, postal or by phone.

 

All information that is to be included in your web page should be transmitted to me via E-mail, in the exact descriptive form that you want displayed. I state this only because I don’t claim to be a writer and to allow me total creative license for your page would not be to your advantage. I do require permission to occasionally adjust text to format the page properly.

 

All photographs used on the web page should be owned by and be provided by the customer.  I prefer all photographs be in a digital format, preferably in either jpeg, jif or other standard photo format. If digital photographs are not available I have the capability to scan photographs or other images into a digital format with little noticeable loss of detail. Your photographs will be returned to you when I have finished with them.

 

Describe in full what the purpose of your page is and want you want it to look like. Review several of the web pages that I have designed  for features you like (I have linked them at the end of this page) or send me a link to a page you have seen that has features you like, so I may be able to model some of these features into your page. List any special links to other web pages that you require.  It is most important that I have all information you want to have included in the web page before I begin the design work, as content will dictate design.  I will design your page using Frontpage 2003, the latest web design software from Microsoft; therefore I should be able to use any Frontpage feature that is available.  Hold nothing back, I will not be offended. My own personal preference is to include royalty free midi music on my pages if appropriate, but I have done several business pages where it has not been a preferred option. You have final design approval of your page before payment for my design work is due.

 

 

Probably one of the most important steps in building a web page is choosing the right domain name.  To assist in the selection of a domain name I have found the domain name selection features of godaddy.com to be the easiest to use. Select a name that is available and have it ready when you place an order with me. Do not order your domain name though godaddy, as a free domain name is included in the initial server order. Use godaddy only as a source to determine if the name is available.

 

On an initial order, the Web server and domain name must be ordered through me. I require that all pages I design and service, be hosted by Powweb.com. You will need to provide me the domain name you have selected as well as your credit card and contact information. You can personally contact me, so I can enter the required registration information directly  I can take the required information from you over the phone. Domain name and server time charges must be paid in full prior to beginning construction of your page.

 

Usually within 24 to 48 hours after placing an order with Powweb, they will publish a page on the web announcing your page as  “ Site under construction” As soon as I see this I will replace this  initial page with a more descriptive page.

 

When ordering a webpage through me, unlike with other webpage designers; you will own the server time and domain name. They will be registered in your name. You therefore have total control to change design firms, with no hassle about who owns the web page, domain name or server space. If you decide that I am not providing an acceptable product or I become physically unable to provide a service for you, all you would need to do is change the pass word with Powweb.com  to lock me out. I will provide you  with all the information required to do this.  

 

Since you will be the owner of the domain name and the web host server contract, you will be notified by those companies directly when renewal fees are required to continue their service. In the future these are the only 2 bills you should receive, unless there are any additional charges we may have contracted for., concerning your webpage.

 

Use caution when considering purchasing outside sources to advertise your webpage. Most are scams. As a service I advertise all my pages through a free service that the web hosting server provides as well as I will send a direct request to MSN, Yahoo and Google and Alta Vista  to pick your page up. Normally it takes about a month after announcing the page before the major search engines start to post your page as they will not publish sites under construction. In the mean time the page will be readily accessible by the world on the www. I can not guarantee that all search engines will pick up all pages, nor how fast they will be picked up.
