A selection of sites by BUILDING web SITES:

The process:

You need to decide if you want:

• more than 1 page
• to operate a shopping cart
  • (a shopping cart involves using a ready-made service for which you have to pay a fee; you need to have a merchant account so you can accept credit cards)

Together, we analyse your expectations and your audience.

What you keep, even if you move to a new provider:

• the domain name
• the design
• the text
• a CD containing:
  • the site files
  • user documents
  • passwords and user names in a neat summary
  • in short, all the things you need to keep the site running smoothly

But, please bear in mind:

• Your website needs to be accessible, fast to load, and simple to use. This means your site needs to be written in good clean code, which is what I do.
  • (You don't like sitting waiting for a site to load: your time is too precious. Your clients are just like you. They want it now. They want it fast. And they'll move on if you make them wait.)

• Your website needs to demonstrate your credibility. Accuracy in all details is important.
  • (Are you fed up with sites that are incomprehensible because they're so badly written? Would you like to take a fat red pen and correct the spelling?)
  • This is my strength. As a book publisher and editor, I have plenty of experience in getting the text right.
