I've heard it many times as an objection to hiring a company to build
their website. People have been lead to believe that hiring a
company to create a web presence - will require a large amount of time.
That doesn't have to be the case.
Our typical process starts with an initial phone call to gather some
basic information - then we go to work setting up the domain name,
server, email, and creating what we think will be the best look for your
site. Usually, our clients love our first design, but if not we
continue to work until we have what you need. Reviewing the site
samples will only take a few minutes of your time.
In the meantime, we provide you with a simple brainstorming tool for
gathering information for your website. Print it out, look it over, then
start the process of pulling together as many items as you can.
You'll find this process not only takes less time than you imagined,
it will also be time well spent - reviewing
and refining your company's image in all of your advertising!
