4. Header Graphic / Logo
It is very helpful if you will
include a copy of your company's letterhead, brochures, catalog, etc. so I can
see how you present your company image.
__ Company Logo incorporated in the masthead graphic? If so,
please enclose a color copy.
__ Photo or drawing of product?
__ Typeface
preference __________________________________________
__ Preferred colors in palette _______________________________________
__ Other ideas/websites that you like _________________________________________________________
5. Color and Accents
For the most part, I recommend
a nuetral/bright background for best readability and contrast, with a band of
color or a pattern running down the left and top margin of the web page. Your
preference:
Unless specifically agreed otherwise, each web page will have a discreet link
stating 'Web Design by Vision House Studio- this will link to http://www.visionhousestudio.com
This is normal practice. Any removal of this link will be considered a
breach of contract.
6. Navigation System
The navigation system of all
Standard Website Packages includes:
- Links from
the front page and sectional pages to every page in the system to enable
Web search engines to "spider" and index content on every page.
- Colored bar
"Image Map" with a brief word or two indicating each
page -- or, in larger sites -- each section of the website. This appears
at the bottom of every page. In some sites I put this both top and bottom.
You are limited to a maximum of about eight (8) selections on this image
map.
- Left-Side column
with text links are especially useful on larger sites. Included in sites
of 6 pages or more. They can allow more detail than an 8-item bottom image
map, and can enable visitors to see from any page how to get to any other.
These may be white or light-colored over a dark left-side color or
pattern, or black or dark over a light left-side color or pattern.
Optional Systems.
Circle those you wish incorporated in your site.
- Logo Development
- eCommerce
with Product or Donation Processing
- Integrated
eMail newsletter system
- Forums
Section
- Search
Engine is useful on larger sites of 20+ pages to help
visitors quickly find what they're looking for. (Extra charge)
- Many
others available- please inquire - call me at 800-683-1349.
7. Basic Page Elements
These are the important items,
which appear on nearly every web page on your site (except the "home"
page). If you DO NOT HAVE A PREFERENCA -
JUST PUT "STANDARD"
- Page titles
which show at top of Web browser only
- Top-of-page graphic
based on the design of the masthead graphic
- Page Title
in larger type. Heading Font Style: ________________ (recommend Arial
Bold)
- Text. Body
Font Style: ___________________ (recommend Times New Roman)
- Standard company ID
near bottom of page
- E-mail response link
to the following e-mail address: _________________________
- Copyright and
trademark information in small print at the bottom of every page.
What registered trademarks, trademarks, and service marks does your
company want to indicate here?
Do you have any trademarks or
service marks? If so, please list them here and indicate which are
registered trademarks.
8. Photos, Graphics, Animations and Sound
Our contract includes a statement
that you own the copyright to, or have permission from the copyright owner to use
any photos or graphics you send us. The standard web site package includes
basic use of graphics and Flash.
- Clipart tends
to look a bit tacky on websites. I recommend photos.
- Photos you
supply either by sending the photos themselves for us to scan and return,
or by sending the digitized images on a diskette.
- Stock photos
obtained from Photodisc (http://www.photodisc.com),
Corel (http://commerce.corel.com),
or PictureQuest (http://www.picturequest.com/).
(You write down the photo number and inform us of your choices, and which
page each photo goes on. I can help you select the photos, but I would
need to bill you for my time at my hourly rate.)
- Photos which I take
utilizing a Nikkon Coolpix 990 Digital camera (extra charge)
For an extra charge, I can
equip your web pages with:
- Sound,
either MIDI, Wave or MP3 musical background.
- Animated GIF images.
High quality photo images are available from PhotoDisc (http://www.photodisc.com) and other
sources. I can also make animations for an extra charge.
- Advanced Flash
Animations - highly recommended
- As a video production
company, we can create quality video pieces based on your product or
service- in some cases we can do this from photos alone, saving
the cost of a production crew. Please call 800-683-1349 for more
information.
9. Response Forms
What is the purpose of your
response form?
__ Guest book for visitors to record comments
__ Request for information
__ Survey of customer preferences
__Custom - please describe:__________________________________________________________
Note: On-line stores can also be provided with secure
servers. Please call 800-683-1349 for more information.
10. Web Hosting Service
We can provide or recommend
quality hosting services. We do not recommend hosting on your local
dial-up ISP, since they too often are not well prepared to meet specialized business
site hosting needs. We require cgi-bin
access, MySQL, PHP 4 or 5 and FTP access, and strongly recommend telnet access.
____ Check here if you want us
to provide hosting services for you.
Please fill in these detail
if you already have a hosting service:

11. Registering and Advertising Your Website
Consider:
- Advertising your Website to
Web search engines that index the Web
- Giving customers a good
reason to come by offering them something
- Finding industry-wide linking
pages and negotiating reciprocal links to and from their web pages.
- Purchasing Web advertising
- Becoming active in several of
the thousands of Internet news groups and mailing lists
- Developing a
"signature" mini-ad attached to all your e-mail messages
- Including your e-mail and Web
addresses on all your company's print literature, stationery, and display
advertising
- E-mail newsletters
We can provide add-ins to your
site that provide comprehensive statistics about visitors, bots, spiders and
page inmpressions at an extra charge. Information about number of
visitors to your website can usually be obtained from your Internet
Service Provider, from statistics generated daily by such programs as WWWSTAT,
GETSTATS, or Analog on the host computer. We do not include page counters on Standard
Website Packages
Yyour information will be submitted to Web search engines to
"register" your website after final payment is received.
On behalf of my organization I
approve the above plan which I have developed with Vision House Studio to
construct a website, and I authorize Vision House Studio to use this Website
