good kindling web design

I will meet with you for an initial consultation to discuss your vision and your budget. This consultation is free as it is a time when we will both be deciding if we want to "hire" each other. If you decide to hire me, I require a non-refundable deposit of $120. This covers your first year of hosting fees (if you will be using Good Kindling as your host) and/or set-up costs and several hours of design work.

At our second meeting (which can be a teleconference or through email) we will decide on layout, categories and graphics. At this time we will be able to get an idea of how long the project may take and come up with a minimum cost. I will give you some guidelines as to what my expectations of your involvement are.

Regarding content of the site: While I do not have an educational background in marketing or advertising. I have been involved in a number of business and have done research on website content so I may be able to give you feedback and suggestions on the content of your site. However, writing content is not a part of the service. This usually the most challenging part of the process and if you have difficulties knowing what to say on your site, I can give you some guidelines and even suggestions of where you might get some help.

We will meet several times and communicate by phone and via email as we decide on layout, color and categories for your site. I am a believer in simplicity on sites because I personally dislike going to a site and being overwhelmed with information on each page.
