You and us. Some strategic planning. 8 hours.
We do plenty of planning before the work day, but we truly can build a website in a single day (here are some examples). Here’s how we work with you one-on-one to do it:
Planning
Let’s get acquainted! Through a phone interview, we discuss your goals for the new website. Every square inch of your home page serves a purpose, and together we determine how the site will serve your business. This helps you complete the Eligibility Requirements Documents, which specifies your:
- Business goals
- Content & prioritization
- Access information to your web server and social media, etc.
Theme Selection
We go website window shopping! Now we have your goals in mind, we go theme shopping. Themes give us a solid start to build your brand because they already look great and have lots of bells and whistles. We look for themes that highlight what your company does best and send you a list of 3-6 themes we recommend. You pick the theme that best represents your vision and business goals.
Design
Our creative juices start flowing! Based on the theme of your choice, we deliver a mockup of your new home page with your content plugged in. Keep in mind that at the workshop, we’ll have 2-3 hours dedicated to refining design elements. That means all text, colors, quotes, stock images, footer items, fonts can be modified. What would stay would be the general look and feel.
Once design is approved, we install WordPress and customize it so that it matches the approved design. If needed, we can always incorporate additional design hours into your budget.
Work Day
Get ready to rumble! Using our simple process, we eliminate hours of emails and focus on making the most important decisions live. Our 8-hour day includes:
- Home page design finalization — we’ll bring everything together to create a dynamic home page that draws in your audience
- Creation of up to 10 pages of content — we’ll make sure that everything about you is represented in an organized and easy to use structure
- WordPress theme modifications — we’ll craft the theme to serve your company’s main objectives
- Blog import and customization — we’ll import old blog posts from most common blogging platforms and customize the page layout and categories
- Social media integration — we’ll activate icons and incorporate your latest tweets, flickr, and sharing capabilities
- Email marketing list building — we’ll create an email subscription form inside your new website. If you have a modern email blast service, we can use that. Or, we’ll set you up with free MailChimp and create an automated rss-to-email campaign so that every new blog post you publish goes out automatically to your list
- WordPress best plugins — we’ll install the best of the best to enhance SEO, fight comment and email spam, monitor traffic through google analytics.
- Custom How-To Videos – we’ll record up to 5 custom how-to videos showing you exactly how to maintain the site yourself
Launch & How-To Videos Delivered
You are live! We launch your site and test all links and interactions and the finished product is finally in your hands. As an added bonus, within 5 business days we’ll deliver 5 custom how-to videos, hosted at trillamar.com. These remain for your reference as you take over the maintenance of your site. Of course, if you need help after the workshop or want to include regular maintenance for the long-term, we are always available at an hourly rate.
Project Fee:$2500$500 deposit required to start. Project must be paid in full after design is approved.
