PREPARATION:
The first step is to gather your thoughts, ideas, and website materials.  This includes your business plan, graphics or logos associate with the business, content and materials for the site, access information to the current website or hosting service (if applicable), and 2-3 other websites which you find appealing in look, feel, concept and/or design.

CONTACT LANITECH:
There are several convenient methods to contact us.  You may complete an online Request for a Quote, email or call our Sales Department.

SET UP AN APPOINTMENT:
We will arrange for a personal consultation to discuss the  project details.  Our personal consultations are always FREE!  The consultation can be scheduled at our office or we can come to your location.

CONSULTATION MEETING:
The personal consultation provides the opportunity to share and discuss ideas, formulate a website plan, exchange information / graphics / documents, and share other websites you find appealing.  It is not absolutely necessary to set up a face-to-face consultation if you are located outside our areas.  We have successfully completed many projects for clients outside our immediate office areas.

WEBSITE PROPOSAL & DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENTS:
Once the meeting has commenced, Lanitech will assemble a custom web development agreement which is customized for your project.  The agreement will include an outline of your website pages and navigation, web components (i.e., Flash shows, slideshows, online forms, PDF forms, etc.), when we'll begin work, start and finish dates, and the price.  Simply review the contract, sign it, and make the deposit to begin production!

WORK BEGINS:
On the date indicated on your contract your design will begin at Lanitech.  Within a few days we will email you a "mock" of your homepage which is simply a JPG snapshot of the design and navigation for your site.  During this phase, you can make changes such as swapping out photos, moving buttons, changing button text, changing colors, and moving graphics around.  Once the mock is designed to your liking, your mock will be spliced up into segments, uploaded to your website, and the navigation will be built.

ONCE THE SITE IS BUILT:
Once your site design and navigation is uploaded you'll be contacted for content and materials to post, as well as asked to review and edit items which have already been posted. 

YOUR SITE IS DONE!:
When your site is complete it will be prepped for search engine friendliness and submitted to the major search engines.  We use the search engine's free submittal tools.  Your site can take anywhere from 3 days to 3 months to appear on the search engines based on how fast they crawl your site.  Then within a few days we will simply mail your final invoice as well as a CD-ROM containing a complete copy of your website.
