Photos
Please provide us with your best high-resolution photos for your website. You can send them via email, text, Dropbox, or Google Drive for the best quality.

3) Crafting Your Website Mockup
1. Start building your website: We begin the work once we have everything we need from you.
2. Track our progress: You can follow our progress with the special access we provide. We usually create a mockup in 1-2 weeks.
3. See our design: When the time is right, we’ll provide access to the mockup so you can see how your website is coming along.
4. Your feedback matters: While we aim for a beautiful design, remember it’s a work in progress. If you want changes to colors, layout, or text, just let us know. Revise as needed (based on your chosen package).
5. Best on desktop: For the best experience, we suggest checking the website on your desktop first. Our initial focus is on desktop design. Please note that the mobile site may display a different design.
6. Request changes easily: Many clients find it helpful to list their changes in an email or Word document, organized by page. This keeps things clear for efficient revisions.
7. Share your thoughts: We want your input. This is your website, and we’re here to make it match your vision.
8. Finalizing and launching: After a few rounds of revisions based on your plan, we get the site ready for launch.
4) Final Edits & Launching!
1. Tailored to perfection: After careful revisions, your website now perfectly matches your vision and provides an outstanding online experience.

- Optimizing for mobile: We make sure your site looks great and works without any issues on mobile devices.
- Meticulous attention: Every detail is carefully reviewed to ensure a flawless result.
- Going live: We publish the website to your chosen domain, making it accessible to your audience.
If you use our website maintenance and hosting servers, you get:

4. Final balance and payment: Before the website goes live, the remaining 50% of the balance is due if not already paid. Your timely payment helps wrap up our collaboration on a positive note.
5. Website care service and billing: If you haven’t signed up for our website care service, it will start billing on the 1st day of the following month or the day you sign up. We’ll send you our PayPal link to make payment easy and hassle-free.
