What do I have to provide?

Primarily, the main thing is to gather up the information you would like on your site including any existing marketing materials photos, logos, text, artwork as well as 25-word description and keywords for each page. Search engines and directories use descriptions and keywords in their search. Your description should include the words or phrases that someone might use to search for your business/products/services. For photos we can accept .gif, .jpg., and .tif files. Acceptable file formats for text are .doc, .rtf, .txt and .xls on formatted diskettes (or sent via email). Handwritten text is strongly discouraged (and costs extra). We prefer that the information come to us in electronic copy, however, we can scan graphics and perform data entry for a nominal fee.

It is not necessary to have all these materials together when go for a price quote or start your project. However, once the website creation is under way, the faster we get these materials, the faster your website will be finished.
