Web Site Design:
If convenient, we can meet. Otherwise, telephone,
email and fax will serve to communicate during the initial stages of development.
Phase I: Initial discussion regarding the purpose
of the site, materials provided by you, materials created by me, any and all ideas
we care to toss around for as long as you like, etc., until we have an excellent
plan. This, in my opinion, is the most important phase of the entire process,
and I will take as much time as you need during this phase to help you avoid
costly revisions made later resulting from hasty decisions made earlier.
Phase II: I send you a proposal which includes
an outline of my understanding of the details we agreed on during Phase I, an
estimated time for completion of the site, and an estimate cost for the site. This
proposal is normally an accurate indication of what you can expect in terms of
time and cost, unless, for some reason, you change your mind about certain elements
of the design at some time after work has been started, and propose changes to
the plan that will significantly affect the estimated time needed to complete
the site. Minor changes are expected, since artistic work often reveals itself
during the actual production phase.
Phase III: When a proposal is accepted, a contract
between you and me (Zipp Internet Services) is signed by both of us, and work
begins. At this stage, 50% of final cost is due.
Phase IV: Your site is developed, with close
communication between us during all stages to insure my work meets your expectations. You
can email me a thousand times a day, call me if you have a sudden brainstorm and
communicate in any other way as often as you like. I will answer your questions
or address your concerns promptly. If I have a question, or need to show
you a draft of a section of the site, I will expect a response from you within
a reasonable period of time.
Phase V: Project is completed to your specifications.
If hosting is desired, your site is uploaded to my server. When you are
satisfied, the balance of project cost is due.
