Getting Started

Before we begin

Before we get off to the races, let’s just go over a few things that will help keep your project consistently moving forward and staying on time and on budget.

Timing

Response time is very important for both of us when building your website. Once those wheels are put in motion, let’s keep the communication and momentum going:)

Where we begin...

Domain Name
If you already have one, great!  If not, let’s do some searching to see what’s available.  If you DO have one, we’ll need the Login information for the Control Panel.
Registrar (where it is registered)
Username:
Password:

Hosting
We’ll be using WordPress to create your site, which requires a robust server.  We recommend either GoDaddy or BlueHost.  We can help you pick the perfect plan for your particular website to keep pages loading fast.


Logo
Please send us your logo in high resolution format, preferably with transparency. We may need to place your logo over a color or an image, so it is important to have a transparent version. Please let us know if you need help with creating a logo.

Text content
Please send us ALL the text content you’d like to include in your site.  You can provide it in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Apple Pages or in Email text. This allows us to copy and paste the text into your website without having to retype it.

Images
Many of the images we will be using on your website will be large and sometimes fill the entire screen. That goes for graphics, illustrations and photos.  For these images to look clear and crisp, please make sure you provide us with high resolution images that are at least 1920 pixels wide.


Videos

The best way to integrate video into your website is to first upload those videos to YouTube. We then “embed” those videos into your website. This is the best method because the physical video file lives on YouTube and not on your server.


Audio
If you only have a couple of audio files, we can include the actual mp3 files on your server.  If you’ll have more audio files than that, it’s best to create a BandCamp account and upload the files there.  Then we can “embed” their music player into your website.

Let's begin!

Thank you for reading this page.  We are now ready to begin your project!  We are very excited to begin creating an absolutely beautiful, stunning and amazing website for you.
