>> This is a "beta" website.
This is not the design of the website.
No images or any design effects are applied intentionally so that we
can reveal your core business competencies without distraction of
graphics.
While many design firms rush into the design without thoroughly
understanding the layers of the site (known as bullying the client
into a closed design), we take extreme care and patience to help you
polish your web text content and navigational flow. The "beta"
site is the blue print of your new website and used to develop the
navigational flow, text content flow, and to specify additional
parameters.
Generally we create three beta websites (max. of 5) to help you
develop the proper text content and navigational flow. Once all
of the content is set and the navigational flow is agree upon, then we
move into the visual design beta stage.
>> Supplying text content
We recommend all text content for
your site to be emailed to us directly within the email or attached as
a Word document. We provide typing service if you wish to send
or fax us all of your text content in hard-copy.
>> Making edit requests
We recommend emailing or faxing us
your edits. You can also copy/paste the text directly from the
beta site, modify it and email it to us. You can print the page
out, mark your edits, and fax it to us (please fax no more than 20
pages at a time). There are times where collaboration is
required or you may want our suggestion on edits, feel free to contact
us.
Don't let the beta stages slow you down, it doesn't have to be perfect
the first time around and the intent is for you to "play" or "test"
your text content and navigation flow.
>> Hate Writing or Too Busy?
If you are having writers block or would
like to clean up your text, we also provide writing & proofing
services. About 40% of our clients ask us for assistance with
developing their text content. We have three full time writers
on staff that are excellent at creative and technical writing.
Ask your representative (Wendy Machin) for details.
