website checklist
This is a standard list of items that are usually needed to complete a site.
*We will need all of the required info. at least 3 business days prior to your turn around date. If we do not have all of the info. needed a that time, your site review/completion may be delayed.
*Your business may not require all of the things on this checklist, but it is up to you to decide which things you will need for your site, and which things you won't (depending on how you would like for your site to look & function).
*Please note that we do not do site redesigns once we have designed your site (we do revisions). The difference between a redesign and a revision is: redesigns require us to redo the layout, change the banners, etc. to look like an entirely different site. Revisions mean changing/correcting some elements such color changes or changing the font or even adding/subtracting certain elements. So please feel free to also give us an idea of what you would like for your site to look like (we are not mind readers so it helps lol). Additionally, we encourage you to include a screenshot of a website of ours (you can find on our IG or website) that we can use for inspiration (again, to get a better understanding of your style).
*Also (if possible), please send all of your typed info. together in a Word document. However, if it is easier, you may send the info. via email (we just ask that you try to put as much info. as possible in a single email just to cut down on the amount of unnecessary emails, although we do understand that multiple emails may be required).
*DO NOT send any pictures/images in a Word document. Pictures should always be sent as attachments in an email (you can send multiple pictures in one email if possible). Also, please DO NOT send screenshots of any text information. All text information must either be typed or copied/pasted. Thank you!

IMAGES
Please send us all of the images that you would like added to your site. A lot of clients opt for professional photo shoots to get the perfect images for their websites. The reason why is because high quality images will make your site pop. However, if you do not have any, just let us know & we will choose some stock photos to make your home page banners look nice. If we use stock images, please note that if we have to change them later on, there will be a fee (each banner is $35/each). However, if you are able to make the changes yourself, you will definitely have the option to do so once we have completed the site and turn it over to you.
-
LIST OF BOOKING SERVICES
If you sell any services & you want clients to be able to “book” on your site, please send us the following info.: the name of each service you provide; the cost of each service; the required deposit amount (if any); the length of time it takes to perform each service; your hours of operation & contact info.
Please be specific with this info. and do not say things like, "between 4 & 5 hours". We can't enter info. that way. We will need to enter either 4 OR 5 hours, so give us exact data to enter.
-
PRODUCTS
If you sell any products, please provide us with your product images; the name of the product; the product description (if any); the product price; size; texture; length; color; etc. Also, please do not leave us to do the math. In other words, please do not say things like, "add $10 to the price of the 15" and add $35 to the price of the 22" inch". Do your own math and give us the exact price to enter for each product listing.
If your product is clothing, shoes, etc., please be sure to send us the colors and sizes that you offer for each item.
Once we enter your products, we will not change the information, so please be sure that the info (such as prices) are correct before sending them to us. Otherwise, you will need to make the changes yourself once we have finalized your site for you.

Once you find an available domain name, just let us know what it is).

NAME, ADDRESS & PHONE NUMBER
(We need this info. to register your domain name (if you have not already purchased your domain name).

ONLY to register the domain name, so that we know not to list it on your website).
