Outline
Brainstorming is the beginning step for your new project.  Invest some thought into what you want for your website.  Think of a simple outline of what pages you would like on your site, for example, links for the Shop area that you would like to have the categories: Clothing, Accessories, and Gifts.  Jot down a list of all the products you want to sell.  Begin with a flow chart, categories at the top, and then work your way down.  This will help you think of your inventory and be very helpful to remember products you otherwise might have missed.

Ideas!
It is extremely important to have some ideas of what YOU want the design to look like and what feeling you want it to express. This includes color scheme and basic design style.  This part is important and helps to speed up the design process.  Do you like the trendy boutique look or a more professional corporate look? With tons of options for style, color, etc. we need to have an idea of what direction to take.

Our design process

1. Initial Contact
Take a look at our Website Design Packages and see which one fits your needs then contact us to get started on your project.  If your project is not an online store, or you have different needs, just contact us for a quote.

2. Contract
Once we are ready to start your project we will email you a contract which you will sign and fax back to 936.560.4420.

3. Deposit
We ask for 50% down and then the remaining amount is due BEFORE delivery of the files, and before your site will go "live".  

4. Design Concept Review
We will provide you with one or more design concepts which we create based on your input - desired colors, style, sample sites and overall vision as communicated to us. If our initial attempt is not in the right direction, we will present another concept. We will provide up to three different site concepts. 

5. Revisions & Site Preview
Once the design concept is decided we will begin the round of revisions to customize it to your needs.

6. Final Payment
After the preview of the site design has been approved, the remaining 50% of the estimation is due. Final payment is expected to be received within one week after site is approved, prior to our uploading or delivery of the files.

7. Launch of Your Website
After receipt of the final payment, we will upload the site to your server.
Time to go LIVE!
