When we design a web site, we incorporate elements that work with search engines. It is important to keep in mind a website that is easy to navigate and attractive to the user are essential to the sucess of your site.
The design time is minimized when you, the client:
- Provides design materials in an organized fashion.
- Provides text for the web site in digital format, so that we don't have to type it to reduce your budget & time.
The design may take longer if:
- Elements such as slideshows, flash, printable pages, etc.
- If we work with third party designers or consultants.
- Does not provide us with design expectations such as branding materials (colors, logo) or layout before we begin work, or if client changes his/her mind frequently.
