The Simple Custom Process

1. Contact Us

We are here to walk you through the process from the very beginning.  If you are just beginning to consider purchasing a website, give us a call so we can guide you along the way.

2.  Organize Your Information

You’ll want to start by getting all of your ideas and information on paper (or screen) and organizing them into an outline of what info you want to appear on each page of your website.  We provide a content guide you can use to make this process easier for you.  Unlike some companies, we do not require you to enter your information online to create your website.  You can put it all in an email, a Word document, or even write it on a legal pad.  How you get your information to us is up to you.

3.  Choose Your Blueprint and Paint Chips

After you have your information ready, you are better prepared to select the best design layout for your content.  You can view the blueprints we have available in the design gallery.  We will be continually adding blueprints to the gallery, so while it’s a little bare right now, in a few weeks things will be a little more happenin’.  When choosing your paint chips, keep in mind that there are a hundred different ways to utilize those colors.  You can go with a neutral background and just use accent colors, or you can use vivid color as a main backdrop.  There is no limit to the way we can apply color to your site.  The main thing to focus on at first is the feelings your colors will invoke in the viewer.

Don’t be overwhelmed at the task of choosing the design layout of your website.  We are here to offer our expertise to create a website that accomplishes your goals.  We will be glad to walk you through the process; just consider us part of your team.

4.  Extra Features

At this point, you will have your info prepared, your blueprint and paint chips chosen, and it will be time to determine your domain name (if you don’t already have one) and any extras you want to add.  The basic package is ideal for small businesses wanting to establish a web presence without incurring large costs up front.  However if you plan to update your site frequently and feel comfortable using online forms to do so, you may want to add a blog or content management system to your site to save on your long-term costs.  We are here to assist you in determining the extra features that will best meet your needs.

5.  We Make Your Website

Once we receive your content, (complete with any and all photos, logos, etc. you desire to use), your blueprint and paint chip selections, and your first payment, we will be ready to get started building your site.  After discussing the placement of colors with you, we will mock-up two compositions (comps) for you to choose from showing two variations on your chosen color scheme.  You can adjust the color placement one time before we begin making the site.  Should you desire another comp or want to select a different blueprint or paint chip at that point, it will cost an additional $75 for each different selection.  Once you approve the comp, we will begin building your site.

A Simple Custom Website with no additional features usually takes between one and two weeks to build.  Some additional features will add to the build time, and a time estimate will be given up front with no time guarantees.

6.  Final Payment and Go Live

With Simple Custom Websites, payment is broken into two parts.  A non-refundable deposit of $495 is required for website building to begin.  The remaining cost is due at the time of completion.  Final payments not made within two weeks will result in the site being taken offline.  Reinstating the website will incur a $250 charge.

7.  Software Training and Follow-up

If you purchase any additional feature for your website that enables you to maintain your content, photos, etc., we will train you on the software prior to giving you full control.  Most training sessions can be accomplished in about 30 minutes, but we allow for one hour.  Any additional training needed will require pre-purchased Website Update tokens.

We will also follow-up with you within a few weeks of launching your site to ensure your satisfaction with your site.  We take pride in making sure our websites look as intended on many types of browsers and computers.  However, we can not guarantee that any particular browser will display the site correctly, and certainly not identically.  If anything is not functioning properly, we will certainly take care of that free of charge.  However any updates to the content or any tweaks to the design will require Website Update tokens.
