So...you think you're ready to take the big step?
I am always amazed by the number of inquiries I receive from people who tell me, "I've already bought my domain name and designed my web site - all I need is your help in getting it online."
I've seen their web sites! So have you, and it's not pretty. Don't be tempted to become one of those DIY designers.
"A well-structured web site is like a quiet, comfortable cafe; most, unfortunately, have more in common with reform school cafeterias." _Gregory V. Wilson
1. What do the web sites of my closest competitors say about their products or service?
2. Ideally, what do I want my web site to say about me and my products or service?
3. Will my web site rank close to the top among the sites of my competitors?
You are in control when it comes to deciding what type of information you want to convey to prospective clients or buyers.

To evaluate the impact of your web site design ideas do a search using the words best describing your product or service from any major Search Engine. Chose the top ten sites that are actually similar to your product or service and compare their online presence to what you have planned. If your ideas aren't going to stack up, try experimenting with some new ideas. The only thing you have to lose is your client's poor opinion of your site.
*Site Support -. Sites not developed by Ellen Lebsock Design will require a thorough structural survey and initial set up fee before support is initiated.
NielsenNetRatings reported 164.14 million people online in the US in January 2002.
That's 58.5% of the population with access to a computer. Today the figure is well over 70%.
Total US online advertising and marketing spending reached an astounding $14.7 billion in 2005, a 23% increase over 2004. According to a new five-year forecast from Forrester Research, Inc. online marketing and advertising will represent 8 percent of total advertising spending in 2010 — rivaling ad spending on cable/satellite TV and radio.

"Many business people today are computer illiterates. If you don't have your own web site, and you don't have your own e-mail address, and you don't access the Internet every day, and you think you are up to date in the business world, think again."
—Jeffrey Gitomer

A percentage of the total contract fee will be required as a retainer before work begins.* ($200.00 minimum).
