Getting Started

Here’s an overview of what we need and an overview to help guide you along before we begin!

1) What we need to get started



Your Logo

PDF, EPS or high res JPEG or PNG if possible.



HOSTING CREDENTIALS

Your hosting account login and/or Cpanel username and password.



Wordpress Login

An administrator login to your current WordPress site. (if you have one up already)



Images & Pictures

Current and/or new images and pictures you’d like to use on the new site.

i

Content

Page content and any updated verbiage/information for the site.



Style Guide

Brand style guide, colors or any specific design requirements.

2) Google Chat

Google Chat is an awesome online platform for communication and project management. We’ll be using it to send messages, share files and track progress during the process. This will help alleviate content and images being lost in long email threads.

Everyone loves email threads…right?! (Don’t worry you can still use your email) Once your project is underway, you’ll receive an email to set up Google Chat and we’ll be off and running!

3) Google Drive

Google Drive is a great online image/file sharing platform. This isn’t necessary for every project, but if you have more than 15-20 images for your website or if they’re too big to send through email or post on Google Chat, we can use Google Drive.

We can also use this to share important logins and credentials instead of sending through email. I will set up a folder for the project and will share the folder with you via email. You can upload all images and files there.

4) The Design Process

Strategy & Content

We clarify your goals, define your ideal client, and gather the content needed to build a site that converts — not just looks good.

Design & Funnel Build

We design a clean, compelling site and build the core funnel structure — landing pages, lead magnets, and calls-to-action — all optimized to turn visitors into inquiries.

Launch & Optimize

We go live, connect all the tech, and make sure everything works seamlessly. Ongoing support and optimization are available to help you grow.

5) Wrapping Up & GOING LIVE!

Once the site is ready to go live, all unnecessary plugins, pages, images and backend files will be removed. The new site will be backed up and saved locally, should it ever need restored.

Once live, it may take between 24-48 hours for the new site to pull up on some devices. Some computers will need to be refreshed in order to see the new site, though most computers will see the new site immediately depending on the wifi connection and where they are in relation to the location of server that the website is on.

Your website logins and all credentials will be sent to you via basecamp or secure email insuring the security of your passwords. Though your logins and passwords will be saved by me locally, PLEASE SAVE ALL LOGINS FOR YOUR RECORDS AS WELL. Upon completion, you’ll receive a link to our “moving forward” page where you’ll receive tips and tricks on what to do with your new website and also information on our Maintenance/Security Plan which I highly recommend for all my clients.
