Timeframe for E-commerce Site

Options, Decisions, Banking, Security and Approvals.
The timeframe needed to get your new website to go Live, is mostly based on your feedback, content, acquiring secure hosting, and providing us with banking gateway information. The quicker we get this, the sooner your website will go Live. We will provide support with these task, but you will need to be deeply involved and work with us in set-up your own banking and security requirements.

Here's an average build time:

• Day 1, Initial phone call. Idea's and needs discussed in great detail. If necessary we will set a in-house appointment to meet with you. It is very rare to need an appointment for small sites. Appointments are set on a case by case basis as needed. Once the decision is made to move forward with your project, an invoice is sent for the graphic design only.
• Day 2, We evaluate your needs, and start brainstorming on the graphic look of your website.
• Day 3, We receive funds to start the graphic design. If you have a Logo for your website, we will request it or you may purchase a custom Logo from us. The graphic design of your website normally looks best when it's in harmony with your Logo.
• Day 4-6, We email you our ideas/graphic samples for your approval. Once 100% approval is received we continue.
• Day 7, We will convert your approved graphic design in to the latest web code standards, and email it to you for your approval. Once 100% approval is received we continue.
• Week 2, We'll call you, and together we'll establish your website secure hosting. Once secure hosting is provided, we'll move forward with your project, and send you our first  invoice for development.
• Week 3-5, By this time or before, we will need your digital content, that is your text and photos emailed to us. If you do not have any content or need help with it, let us know. Some clients need time to write their text and some request us to provide a professional copy writer for a fee. We can also help with professional photos.
  Assuming that we have all of your content, we then create all of your requested pages, such as: Home Page, About Us, Contact Us, etc..
  We will also need to create your Product Database, set-up product purchasing options and shipping if needed. Your Product photos, their cost, text, and options are crucial information for us to have to complete this task within this timeframe.
• Week 6-7, A payment gateway must be established with the information you provide us. We take you info and code it into your website.
• Week 8-9, It's time to critique all of your content. We'll request you to visit your new website and make sure you are 100% happy.
  We test your security, shopping cart for errors, and make sure that sells invoices are being sent to you via your checkout page.
  We will request that you test shopping cart with a test credit card account that we will provide to you.
  Once approval is received we will make the your new website go Live and send you our final invoice for development.
