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.

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.
