If you have not already done so, you will want to take some time to think about what you wish to accomplish with your new website. Determine if you will need any special functionality or interactivity with your visitors; consider the type of design style which appeals to you and then be sure to let us know.
When you are ready, please request your free, no-obligation website design quote.
Based on the information you provided when requesting your website design quote, Shtrack will attempt to determine your needs, what you are expecting from your website, and try to get a feel for your industry. This is why it is important for you to be as detailed as possible when requesting your quote.
We may have questions for you to help clarify certain issues and we will express those before quoting on your project.
50% deposit is required before we schedule a time slot for your project. The remainder of your balance will be due upon project completion. All projects are scheduled on a “first come, first served” basis.
If needed, we will immediately secure your desired domain name and include the first 2 years of service. The domain is registered in your name with your information and you will be the only registrant contact on file.
If you require hosting services, we can provide you with such for a monthly price of $25.
You will need to let us know the navigation links you would like (such as home, about us, services, etc) and supply all text and/or product information to be included on your site. In addition, you may also supply material such as company logo, personal photos, etc, if desired.
If you have any guide sites you would like us to refer to when designing your site or if you have any preference as to colors, style, etc please offer that information as well.
You will be provided with designs within 3-5 business days following your start date.
After you have reviewed the designs, Shtrack will continue to make modifications to the design until the final desired look is achieved. Once the final desired look is achieved, the interior page layout will follow as well as converting the design to HTML, programming, etc.
During this process, you will have the opportunity to review progress. (See next item.)
In Progress Viewing (optional)
We establish a private directory for your new website on our testing server so that you may view the website development progress at any time.
Note: If you wish to have access to the in progress work please note that in when you fill out the price quote or email it additionally.
All projects include use of professional stock photography images from our current library. If a client requires stock photography which we do not currently possess, an additional fee may apply.
All website development programming/coding to run any special features/visitor interactivity on your website is completed and tested.
Based upon your choice and the final design you selected, Shtrack will create as many static or dynamic pages as needed to complete your site.
Navigation links or drop down menus, and rollover effects, if desired, are completed.
Creation of a site map page is done which includes easy one-click access to all pages of your site.
Incorporation of your logo, photos and text content is included in all projects. Custom logo design is available for an additional fee, please inquire if interested.
We always recommend at least one contact form for your visitor’s convenience. Using a contact form, a visitor can email you directly from your website without needing to open their email program. This is especially convenient if a visitor is not using their own computer when their email program is not available.
Meta Tags, Page Titles, Page Heading, Alt Image Tags, Link Text, and Page Body Text evaluation and adjustment where needed throughout the website. At no time can Shtrack guarantee when or where the search engines will place your website within their search results or directory.
Your website is tested on a variety of operating systems and browsers to insure proper display and functionality.
Before the website is launched, a grammar and spell check is performed to insure there are no mistakes. The customer will also have the chance to spell check the content of the website.
A thorough check for misdirected links and missing files is performed just prior to as well as after the launch of the website.
Any email contact forms and/or programming features included in your project are tested to confirm they are functioning as required.
Final payment is always due before we take the website live on your domain.
All necessary website files and scripts are copied to your domain and databases are setup.
After the website is live, any interactive programming and scripts are tested to verify proper function. Since the design and testing phase often occurs on a different server, it is very important to once again verify that everything is working correctly after taking the website live.
When necessary, any documentation needed to use the administration functions of your website is included in PDF format.
Hand submission and automated search engine submission occurs after launching, testing and fixing any issues there may have been.
Minor adjustments to the website are included at no charge for up to two weeks after the website has launched (maximum of up to 3 hours labor). Minor changes include adding changing text, adding or changing photos, etc. Any major revision requests will require additional discussion and possibly incur a fee.
