We believe in complete transparency and collaboration throughout the website design process. That’s why we’ve created this guide to help you better understand and prepare for your project. Whether it’s your first website or an update to an existing one, this guide outlines the steps we’ll take together to ensure a smooth and successful experience.
A domain name is your unique web address—like alchemyimageworks.com—that makes it easy for people to find you online. It’s a critical first step in establishing your online presence.
TIP: Premium domains with popular extensions like .com, .ca, or .org can range in cost. Contact us for guidance!
Your website needs a “home” on the internet—a secure and reliable space where visitors can access it 24/7. Hosting services provide this space, ensuring your website is always online and accessible.
We offer hosting options to fit your needs:
Already have hosting? Awesome! We’ll move on to the next key ingredient: content.
Website content—text, images, and videos—is the heart of your site. It tells your story, connects with your audience, and ensures search engines like Google can find you.
TIP: Providing content in digital formats like Word, PDF, or JPEG ensures a faster and smoother design process.
Here’s what you can expect when working with us:
We start with a client survey or interview to understand your goals, audience, and project scope. This helps us create a tailored proposal outlining features, timelines, and costs.
We review the proposal with you, define objectives, and map out a site structure, including:
TIP: The more detailed information you provide, the more accurate and efficient the proposal.
We create mockups and layouts based on your feedback and approval. Content and visuals are integrated to ensure a seamless user experience, optimized for all devices.
Using modern coding standards, we build your site to be fast, secure, and scalable. Testing ensures everything functions across browsers and devices.
Once approved, your site goes live! We provide you with a backup of all files and offer post-launch support to address any questions or updates.
If input, approvals, or payments are delayed by more than 10 business days, the project will be placed “on hold” and rescheduled based on current workloads.
You own all original work upon full payment.
Changes to the project scope after work begins may require a revised budget and timeline.
If canceled, you own all completed work you’ve paid for, but a new deposit will be required to restart.
