Next ... Let's Develop Your Custom Website!

After filling out the custom website project form, we will review your information together during a follow-up call. We will discuss the process and pricing, and a quote will be sent to you. If you would like to work together we will plan a second conversation to begin work on your custom website.

The information below will guide our second and following conversations . . . .

1. We will review your information and discuss your objectives. This initiates the beginning of the structural organization of your custom website and its functionality, text and images.
    
2. Invoicing is delivered via PayPal and can be paid via credit card or PayPal.
    
3. The goal of the structural organization of your custom website is a design process that speaks specifically to the needs of your visitors/clients, and leads them to linger and return to your website.
    
4.  A non-live, preliminary view of your custom website becomes available for you to review and then provide feedback. This allows for fine-tuning of visuals, functions and any adjustments to content. 
    
5. A time-frame will be discussed for completing your custom website project. For example, if a group of people represent an organization developing a custom website project they may need more time to discuss and review it than an individual would need. Each custom website project timeline is unique, though the usual turnaround is 2 - 4 weeks.
    
6. Work done behind the scenes by carolmasondesign:
   - This work makes your custom website visible in search engine results after your custom website is live.
   - The design and format are put together and search engine optimization (SEO) is applied.
   - Then testing is done to be sure your custom website format works well on different mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktops. 
    
7. The your finished custom website is presented to you for your approval. We will review it together and make any final adjustments you desire.
    
8.  Together, we will establish a maintenance and content update plan to keep your custom website on track.
    
9. After all these steps, your custom website goes "live"!
    
10. Then our creative design collaboration shifts to the maintenance and content update collaboration mode! Most carolmasondesign clients have monthly appointments with Carol to make content updates to their custom website.
     
11. Our creative collaboration during the development steps will bring us to a comfortable working relationship. Over time your custom website will grow to meet your evolving needs with Carol's commitment to ongoing collaboration and support.
