Step 3: Tell Me What Goes On Your Site
In our initial meeting we will discuss what you want your Web site to look like. If you have logos or other art or photographs, please have them ready. it is best to have them in digital form, but I can scan art that is 8 1/2 x 11 or smaller. Based on this information I will create a template that defines the look and feel of your site.
Remember the template is just a start. I will put your art into it and adjust the look of it to best suit your needs. It is just a starting point. Once we have something to look at I will make any changes you need.
Some Web sites have thousands of pages. Some have only a few. We will talk about the skeleton of your site -- what pages you need and what menus you want to present. I may ask you to create an outline. Most sites have the 'Front Page', an 'About Us' page, and a 'Contact Us' page. You will probably have ideas about other pages you want on your site.
Think it through -- you want the front page to be sparky, to draw the visitor in and make him or her look at the rest of your site. it is the one place where marketing is most important. Don't try to put too much information on it -- focus on a succinct message.
Also, you will be able to have your own email addresses such as

. Let me know what they should be (and a password for each).
Clients Say...
L-Star Publishing, aka Dan Veaner, put together two custom web sites for me that I love. Both were put together just as I wanted them. He helped me optimize them and they are created in a way that lets me update them myself when ever I would like. He even helped select search engine friendly domain names. All this and the bill was reasonable. You really couldn't ask for more.
