Upon receipt of your deposit, we will assign you a spot on our wait list. It generally takes 1 to 2 months to complete a site design.
2. Domain + Hosting
Set up your domain registration (the address, eg. www.littlebluedeer.com) where your site will live, if you do not already own a domain, and hosting (hosting is the service that provides the space on the World Wide Web for your site to live). You need both a domain and hosting. Bluehost is our recommended domain and hosting provider. You may click these links directly to sign up. We are affiliates for Bluehost and by clicking the link above, we will receive a commission for any hosting package signup. We do recommend that your purchase site lock and site backup add-ons if available. We do not save or back up websites, hosting and domain upkeep are solely your responsibility. Does it sound like we are speaking Greek? No problem, we are happy to assist with both of these for no additional cost.
3. Design Inspiration
You will complete our design inspiration form. This will give me all of the information that we will need to begin work on your site. You may also email me any additional thoughts or files or send a link to a Pinterest board.
4. Timeline
You may expect a link to your live development site at the end of your assigned week. These times are approximate, we do not guarantee them, but this is generally our timetable. Then we will work together, communicating via email, to tweak and adjust your site to your specifications. We offer up to 3 rounds of revisions. Remember, the more clear and concise you are up front about what you are looking for, the more likely that the initial site will meet your expectations!
5. Go Live!
Once we are settled on the final site design and content , we will publish the site to your domain and you can tell all of your friends, furbabies, competitors, etc. because it will be live! We do reserve the right to charge a progress payment if your site takes longer than 1 to 2 months to complete. This payment will only be requested if the delay is on your end, which we completely understand, you’ve got a lot going on! This is not in addition to the design fee, it will just be a fraction of your final payment, generally 1/4.
6. Payment
At that point you will be immediately invoiced for the final payment.
7. Maintenance
Keep in mind that I am a designer. Site updates are limited to custom graphics created by The Deer in the Shires. If you wish for other types of maintenance service, we will gladly include our preferred maintenance referrals. We will be happy to provide a zip file of your custom graphics free of charge. Please read more about my maintenance policy by clicking on “Terms and Conditions” below.
8. Terms + Conditions
Please view and understand my Terms of Service here. Upon completion of inspiration form you will be prompted to read and agree to our Terms and Conditions.
A mini-site is a compact website that typically includes 4 pages: Home, About, Portfolio or Services, and Contact. It serves as a functional and elegant representation of your brand or business, with a portfolio page showcasing your work in either slider or gallery form. This is a great option for those who are looking for a simple yet interactive way to establish or maintain their online presence. If you’re interested in this service, please feel free to contact me and we can discuss if it’s the right fit for your project.
Optional Add-ons
Additional enhancements are available for your mini-site package, including customized social media graphics, a Pin It button that hovers, social sharing icons, opt-in popups, and other options that can be selected on the order form.
