[payment #1 due]
1. Pre project
Once I receive your initial payment, I will send you instructions to send me several things:
Complete 2 online questionnaires (one for the new website, one for the Brand Brief)
Photos of your work
Photos of yourself and team
Logo file
2. Website planning and project onboarding (phone call)
In this phone call, we will discuss a design concept for your new website, reviewing existing websites and discussing what’s important to you. By the end of this session, we will have a vision for what your new website will look and feel like. We will finish this session by onboarding you to the Trello project management app. (Trello is very simple. I can teach it to you in less than 5 minutes).
3. Website initial design
I will create a website initial design, based on the website vision we discussed. This initial design will display all the essential elements of the website, including home page, portfolio page, about page, and contact page. I will send a working link to you to review the website initial design. You will have a chance to sit with the website design and share any feedback. (Note: some repetitive portfolio project pages will be left unbuilt until the design is approved. At this point, the important thing is to approve the design.)
4. Website build-out
After receiving feedback and approval from you on the website initial design, I will build out any remaining pages, including all portfolio project pages. At this point, the website will be fully designed, written, and built.
5. Website revisions
We will go through the website together, and I will ask for any feedback. Then, I will make revisions as needed. Three rounds of revisions are included in this website package. (Any additional revisions will be covered at my hourly rate. https://theartofyou.co/hourly)

6. SEO Optimization, launch, and delivery
The website is now in its final form. In preparation for launch, I will make your website search engine friendly by tagging pages based on your location. Then, I will make final configurations to make your new website live online. At this point, I will also deliver your Brand Brief PDF.
7. Website announcement
I will create 3 graphics you can use to announce your website on social media. You will have a choice from over 100 visual backgrounds, shown here: https://theartofyou.co/graphics
8. Project finish
The project will be considered finished once the above project scope has been fulfilled and the site is made live online. At this point, I will invite you to hop on the phone for a closing session, in which I can answer any questions you may have. I will also send you a reference sheet summarizing what I’ve done, where to locate important registration details for your website, and how you can hire me moving forward for support, etc.
9. Website updates
This website package includes unlimited support for the first 30 days after launch. Afterward, as your business evolves your website also should evolve. Consider me a resource to help you keep your website polished and up-to-date. I offer website updates simply by the hour so you only pay for what you need.
