What happens now.
In a nutshell the process begins when you purchase your website through my Shopping cart or on Ebay. This puts you in line and reserves your spot on my development schedule. At this point I need to get access to your server. Any domain names need to be secured and the process of getting your site visible begins.
Once a look and feel is determined, I need to get the appropriate photos and information from you. This will be accomplished through my websites upload page, where you will easily upload photos and text (on your schedule) for me to incorporate into your site. This is a link. Then I create the rough framework of your website, shopping cart, and blog, as well as any other items your build includes.
At this point you look at the site and request changes. I make the changes and you have another look and request more changes. This repeats itself a few times! When the site looks great and functions well we move on to the learning phase.
The things you will need to learn are how to list products and categories in the shopping cart, as well as how to post to your blog etc. Don't worry Everything is demonstrated in easy to understand video tutorials I make just for you. Click the tutorials tab now.
