How We Work to Ensure your Project is Successful

Once we understand the scope of your project, we'll provide you a quotation. Upon proposal acceptance, we follow these steps to deliver your project to you successfully:

1) Consultation: We'll ask you questions to be sure we understand YOUR vision of success: your goals, preferences, and target audience. We'll provide any suggestions we have related to your project for your consideration.

2) Content: UmeWorks can provide everything from logos, copy writing, artwork, or photographs. But if you are providing us some of your own content, we'll gather it from you at this point so we can design around your look and feel.

3) Proposed Design: Review our proposed design and/or copy for your web site, logo design, stationery layout, banner ad, or brochure and let us know what comments you have.

4) Revision: We'll make the updates and present it to you for approval.

5) Finalization: We'll build your site and publish your site!

6) Website Maintenance: It is important to keep your web site up-to-date, both for accuracy and for search engine optimization purposes. We offer several alternatives: we can update your site on a pay-as-you-go basis, or an annual contract; or you can update your website built on a content management system, or easily make basic updates to websites with a click of a button with Contribute Creative Suite 3.
