As a whole, the process of web design includes planning, post-production, research, advertising, as well as media control that is applied to the pages within the site by the designer or group of designers with a specific purpose. The site itself can be divided into it's main page, also known as the home page, which cites the main objective as well as highlights of the site's daily updates; which also contains hyperlinks that functions to direct viewers to a designated page within the site's domain.

Website templates are pre-designed websites all you need to do is add your own personal content and you're ready to jump start your own website. Templates comes in a variety of styles and categories. You can purchase a template for as low as $10 or as much as $200 for use of that template. You will then download that template and customize it to fit your needs.

If you want to purchase this template for exclusive use, this cost can range from $300.00 to over $5000.00.

The advantage of this type of design, is cost, the disadvantage is similarity because the template can be used by anyone who purchases it.

The key difference is in how they manipulate and work with your site files. I've emphasized files because, in order for any web-page to exist, it must have a file, on a server, somewhere, and that file must contain standardized HTML code. Many hosts bundle and "blur" the lines between these distinct pieces for simplicity; however, all web-sites consist of the aforementioned parts.

A Site Building program - like SiteBuilder - is truly that. You tell it how you want the site to look, and it builds it. While it does store a history of your previous editions to the site so that you can further modify it, it does not "edit" the site files in any sense of the word. Instead, it stores everything you tell it (about how your site is structured) in a proprietary database, and when you're ready to publish, it takes that data, runs it through a script, then the script outputs a set of HTML files and images, and uploads them to the server. When you go back to make editions to the site, it does not go back to the server and retrieve what it published previously - instead, it goes into its database, and retrieves the most recent list of updates you made to the site, so you can pick up there. You can see, with a "builder" it is not editing files, rather it is creating new ones each time you publish the site. This means that, if you edit a file outside of the builder after you've published it, the builder will not take those changes into account as it does not know they exist, and will overwrite them when you re-publish. Additionally, this means that in order to move your site to another host, and pick up where you left off, you would need the new host to have the exact same builder software, and your old host would need to provide the backup of your site in the proprietary format that the builder uses, so that the new host can have the files restored exactly as they were before. This is the primary reason that professionally built web-sites are not made on builder programs.

A site editor or WYSYWIG editor literally edits the pages. When you open up the page, it connects to the server, downloads the current version of the file, parses it (like a web-browser would) and shows you what the page will look like. When you make an edit in the code manually, it shows you how the page looks after the edit. Additionally, when you make an edition through the simplified interface, it updates the code for you. Since it is literally "reading" the code, then changing it, and finally re-writing it to the server, any changes made will not be recognized by builder programs.

Site Building Software is basically used for clients to create their own website, while a site editor can be used to modify a site designed by a professional.

Everyone wants to see things move, but let's be practical, some websites does not or should not have moving elements. Flash has been the most exciting technology in the last 10 years, however this comes with a price.

Flash projects are hard to get organic rankings in search engines, hard to view on apples iPhone, hard to make changes and is expensive to develop.

Animated gif's or animation slide shows using CSS technology is a better solution for motion on your web site.

We use only professional tools and partners to design and develop your project, sometimes purchasing custom programs to fit a particular situation. We're members of our local Better Business Bureau and treat every client as our only client. We can't accept all projects, so we try to accept those projects that have a long-term business outlook.

A Summary Of Our Design Process...

1. Initial Consultation & Research - The 1st step to our design process is to have a phone consultation with you. This initial consultation is free and will answer many of your questions. We want to obtain what you want your web site to do along with a couple of samples of other webs ties you like.
   
   After we gather your requirements and review your samples (10-15 minutes), we can then determine the investment required. We will then prepare a written proposal, listing everything we will do and what we need form you. After you accept our proposal and place your deposit (determined by both parties). We move to the account setup phase.
   
   
2. Account Setup Phase 1 - This step involves registering a new domain name (yourcompany.com) for at least 1 year. If you currently have a domain name, we will either modify your settings at your current registrar (godaddy. network solutions, etc.) or transfer your domain to our registrar (affordablwdomain.ws). If we transfer your domain to our registrar, we will automatically extend your name for an additional year.
   
   
3. Account Setup Phase 2 - This step involves selecting the proper hosting environment and server configuration. This also includes setting up your web mail system; site statistics software and any other site tools needed to complete your project as per your requirements.
   
   
4. Design Preparation Phase - This step involves researching your content, industry and/or your sample web sites to determine what type of navigational system we'll use, how we will display the information on each page, what colors to use, how to incorporate any logo you may have, and more.
   
   We also obtain all of your content, secure any images, multimedia and prepare them for your project. All necessary adjustments, modifications and enhancements are considered.
   
   
5. Development Phase - This step involves putting together the elements of the preparation phase. In addition, this phase includes converting your content (probably in word processing format) into a web format, removing all unnecessary code that can make your page fat. After we have completed the development phase, we will setup a test server and transfer your project to this server for viewing and testing.
   
   
6. File Transfer, Viewing & Testing Phase - This step also includes transferring your files to our test server for viewing and testing this new layout on multiple browsers for consistency. After you view your project on our test server, we accept your modifications. After we complete all of your requests, we then ask for the balance or payment (if multiple payments have been arranged) on this project and transfer your project to your hosting account.

We will review your web site to load faster, be more eye appealing, and become more search engine friendly.

• Update your layout to make it more eye appealing and search engine friendly.
• Update your content to be viewing on new smart phones.
• Update your Navigational menu to make is easier for visitors to access info they need.
  
• Review current font size to aide the viewing for all visitors.
