Color and Accents

For the most part, I recommend a white or black background for best readability and contrast, with a band of color or a pattern running down one or both margins of the webpage. A triple color scheme is usually best, but every site is different.
Your preference:

Navigation System

The navigation system of all my Standard Website Packages includes:

Links from the front page and sectional pages to every page in the system to enable Web search engines to "spider" and index content on every page.

Left-Side Menus with text links are especially useful on larger sites. Included in sites of 6 pages or more. They can allow more detail than an 8-item bottom image map, and can enable visitors to see from any page how to get to any other. These may be white or light-colored over a dark left-side color or pattern, or black or dark over a light left-side color or pattern.

Basic Page Elements

These are the important items which appear on nearly every webpage on your site

Page titles which show at top of Web browser only

Top-of-page graphic based on the design of the masthead graphic

Page Title in larger type. Heading Font Style: ________________ (recommend Arial Bold)

Text. Body Font Style: ___________________ (recommend Times New Roman)

Standard company ID near bottom of page

E-mail response link to the following e-mail address: _________________________

Copyright and trademark information in small print at the bottom of every page. What registered trademarks, trademarks, and service marks does your company want to indicate here?

Do you have any trademarks or service marks? If so, please list them here and indicate which are registered trademarks.

Photos, Graphics, Animations, Sound, Video, Other

DragonflyzDesigns contract includes a statement that you own the copyright to, or have permission from the copyright owner to use any photos or graphics you send Terrie Acampora/DragonflyzDesigns.

Clipart tends to look a bit tacky on websites. I recommend photos.

Photos you supply either by sending the photos themselves for Terrie Acampora/DragonflyzDesigns to scan and return, or by sending the digitized images on CD or email.

Extra elements that I can equip your webpages with:

Sound, either MIDI musical background or streaming Real Audio for music or voice, Quicktime etc...

Animated GIF images. High quality photo images are available from many sources. We can also make animations for an extra charge.

Shockwave Animations / Flash

Video clips

Web Hosting Service

I am not in the web hosting business. I recommend to my clients web hosting services tailored to their specific needs. I've worked with dozens of hosting services -- the good, the bad, and the ugly. I usually do not recommend hosting on your local dial-up ISP, since they too often are not well-prepared to meet specialized business site hosting needs. Their main business is usually dial-up access, and hosting is only a sideline for them. Please let Terrie Acampora/DragonflyzDesigns recommend a Web host service for you. I require cgi-bin access and FTP access.

Registering and Advertising Your Website

Consider:

Advertising your Website to Web search engines that index the Web

Finding industry-wide linking pages and negotiating reciprocal links to and from their webpages.

Purchasing Web advertising

Becoming active in several of the thousands of Internet news groups and mailing lists

Developing a "signature" mini-ad attached to all your e-mail messages

Making your website part of one or more of the many "malls."

Including your e-mail and Web addresses on all your company's print literature, stationery, and display advertising

E-mail newsletters | Event/Products Updates

Information about number of visitors to your website can usually be obtained from your Internet Service Provider, from statistics generated daily by such programs as WWWSTAT, GETSTATS, or Analog on the host computer
I submit your information to Web search engines to "register" your website after final payment is received. Before doing this I work with you to get 20 to 100 keywords and a carefully constructed 25-word sentence contain the most important keywords.
