Submitting Materials to Us:

How Much Can Go on a Page?

There is no actual limit as to what can be contained on a web page.  It is normal for a visitor to scroll a page that exceeds the viewable area of their screen.  However download time on a page should be limited to 15 seconds or less.

Print Layouts:
The web has constraints that make it near impossible to recreate an exact print layout through the use of HTML.  Our designer will do their absolute best to re-create & keep with the continuity of any printed material you may have, but please be aware that the web does not allow the exact duplication of your printed material.   If this is a concern please note this on your materials & a designer will contact you to discuss the possible options.

Colors:
Colors appear differently on the web.  If exact colors are important to the design of your site please visit the link provided & note the color names & mark accordingly on your material.

Submitting Photos, Logos, and other Art Work:
We must have either Original photos or artwork, or Other media such as color brochures or catalogue pages which we can scan, or Media already scanned and of a quality which will look all right on the web.  Please be aware that the cleaner the image we receive the cleaner it will appear on your site.  We do not re-touch, color enhance or otherwise modify graphics in any other way without additional charges being applied.  Images can be reduced in size but not enlarged due to the nature of photographs, graphics etc.

Digital Images from Digital Cameras:
The size of the artwork should be equal in size or larger than you wish them to appear on the web. Do not expect us to get a good logo from a business card!

Either originals or good quality copies should be furnished if at all possible. If we receive faxed or unclear Xerox copies of artwork there will be a cleanup fee, if we are able to restore them to displayable quality!

If you are Emailing us graphics which you want used on the web please send them as .jpg files instead of bitmap files so they do are not so large. No photos or other graphics files can appear on the web larger than 100K (when we finish they are usually under 30K) except under exceptional circumstances. They take too long to load and your visitors will leave before they see them!

If you send us electronic graphics files they should be named by item mentioned in the accompanying text (e.g. tire1.jpg) and referenced accordingly on your "Web Input Form", or an additional read me file or document should be included which tells which graphic file belongs to what name or item in any accompanying text and what page it goes in.

Any materials not meeting these conditions will require special processing and my result in additional fees.

Submitting TEXT:

1. Text should be typed and proofread for grammar, spelling, and accuracy.  We are not as knowledgeable to the terms used within your business/industry.  Be sure to proof all copy to be posted on your site prior to submitting your files.

2. It should be saved as an MSWord file if possible, if not we can take RTF files, Word Perfect Files, HTML or plain text files. If you save as an HTML file make sure you include the graphics referenced in the file separately.

3. Text should be in English. If you desire any other languages text must be proofed by you for accuracy spelling, etc. and you must furnish us a disk with the complete accurate text with all accent marks, etc. If you wish for additional charges we can hire Language specialists to translate, proofread and or prepare any non-English text for you.

4. You should have one file for each page. The file should be named according to the page. For example:

You should consider having the home page, the company profile page, the staff page, the contact us page, and a total of two products/services pages. If you wish you may substitute an additional product or service page for the staff page. If your company has an existing flyer or brochure you can use that to furnish much of the material for your web site. You may also go to our Web Design Page, and the connected pages, for examples of different types of Graphics and other supplements to your web.

1. The Home Page: This is the place people usually see first, and it acts as a greeting place and a brief source of information as to what the page is about. Its main function is to look nice, be professional (for business sites), tell people briefly what the site is for, and to lead people to the other parts of your web site. Think of it as the front of your building or the window in a storefront. If the home page is too klutzy, glitzy, or slow to load people will not come in to see the rest of your web. The Home Page should have a company logo, possibly one small photo or graphic, the name of your company, and a motto or brief description of the purpose of your company or the web site. The size of the home page should be about 600 pixels by 400 pixels, so it will all fit in a window in the browser on a typical PC. In other words it should be about the same size as the top half of a regular 8.5 inch by 11-inch sheet of paper. It should also have the names and hyperlinks to the other important pages or sections of your web site. Do not try to put company products, etc. here. You may add a simple small animation, but keep things brief and to the point!

2. About Us/Profile: This page describes the company and it's talents and benefits. In other words, why should someone use your company or your goods or services? This should be 400 words or less about the company and its services. You can include one or more photos or other graphics here.

3. STAFF: This page should say something about the owners or the staff of your company, maybe some history and background of the principals of the company and or other important people.

4. CONTACT US: This page contains your company mailing address, telephone numbers email addresses and a form, which the customer can complete and have emailed to you. This can be a good source of leads for sales or other matters. This should be brief but get the basic contact data.

5. PRODUCTS/SERVICES: You choose for your company whether you want products pages, services pages or both. If you have many products or services you need a main page where you describe all the types of services and/or products you offer. From this page you can link to other pages of details about a specific type of product or service you offer. If you have a limited inventory or something special you want to advertise on the Web you can include photos and descriptions in this and any other products/services pages. 

6. Additional Products/Services Page This page can be additional products or services as above.
