Your site will first be designed by a graphic designer who will digitally draw one or two of your web pages so that you will see what your site might look like before it is even programmed. You will be charged per hour, and a design usually takes about 4-5 hours. Once the design is completed, it will be sent to you as a .pdf for your approval.
If needed, the designer can also create logos and other graphic materials for you - this will also be charged at an hourly rate. If the hourly rate is too expensive, the programmer can also design your website or use a template as a basis at $10/hour of work, but the programmer is not a professional graphic artist and will take longer. It is highly recommended that you use a professional. If you are particularly web-savvy, you may also do your own sketch to give to the programmer.
Web pages consist primarily of text and images. It is highly recommended that you provide both. Text and images can be provided in any format, although digital is preferred. If providing digital images, please provide the highest quality image that you can obtain. If you have lower quality images, it would be better to provide a hard-copy or physical version that will be scanned. You must have permission to use all images.
If you would like the programmer to create/edit the text or to create/find images that are usable, the cost is $10/hour of work in addition to any fees for purchasing the rights to images.
