HOW MANY PAGES?

Determining this is not as easy as it sounds... many clients make the mistake by counting the number of sections they want on the site and imagining this will be the number of pages. A page is defined by everytime you click on a link and see different information in the browser. So, if you have a product page, with three products on, that when the user clicks on the product they see more information, then you already have four pages.

Usually web designers will charge you less for a sub page than a main section page, so a good, concise way to ask for a brief is to state how many main sections the website will have and how many pages per section.

What is also very important to describe to the developer, is the functions the page will have to perform, step by step.

CONTENT

In terms of text, you must supply the content in electronic format. (CD/e-mail). Typing of text will be charged at current typist rates. Pictures, especially can be a pricey ordeal, if you yourself are not supplying them but want specific pictures included. There are resources on the net for purchasing images online. Please note that professional photographs are the best way to achieve the look and feel you desire on your site.

Images and photographs, videos and other media must be the property of the client, and we will not infringe on any copyright laws.

SEARCH ENGINES

How does a search engine work?

Search engine designers are constantly trying to provide their clients (web searchers) the best relevant results possible to increase their own popularity. Many websites lists keywords that are of no relevance to their website to increase traffic to their site, thus making it harder for the search engines to list target orientated results. Today the search engine creators have years of experience and learned their lessons, the future of search engines looks bright and better things are yet to come.

When searching try not to use just one word like "flower". Specify further to narrow your search and get better results.

E.g."flowers, south african, bulbs"
