Website Development Process

Here is the general process I follow for creating a website.

  • Initial consultation to determine the desired functionality and content of the website
  • Creation of a project proposal detailing exact site content and price
  • Client acceptance of the proposal
  • Website contract signed by V-Web and client
  • Initial payment as specified in the contract, generally one-fourth to one-third of the project price
  • If SEO package is included, determination of target keywords
  • Domain name registration and hosting account setup
  • Client provides any images, logo, or other content they have for the site
  • Initial design idea created and presented to the client
  • Upon acceptance of the overall site design, individual pages are created
  • Each page is presented to the client for feedback and approval
  • Completion of all pages and final site approval by the client
  • Uploading of the website to the live domain
  • Payment of the remainder of the contracted fee
  • Additional updates or modifications payable at the current hourly rate

How much does a website cost?

If all I do is sell you a website, you may be disappointed with the results. A website can be a very effective tool for your business or organization, but getting the website online is only part of the process. Search engine optimization, ongoing content updates, social media, analysis of website statistics, link building, and more are generally required to ensure your website's success.

There are several articles on this site that discuss some of these topics. I have a new website, where are all the visitors? is a good place to start.

VWeb can perform these additional services for you or educate you, so that you can perform them yourself. Contact me today for more details.
