Whether you need a small business web site or an elaborately functioning database-driven web site, WinternetWeb Technologies offers all the services you need with the individualized care some in this industry simply do not understand.
While hand-crafting a well-designed web site can be a challenging task, it doesn't have to be challenging for you. There are web design firms that complicate the design process and talk up their abilities by speaking in jargon and technical terms. Not here. We desire a personal relationship with our clients and respect the unique stance and traditions your business embodies in the day-to-day as we aim to mold that character into a personalized web site we design together.
While your job is to serve your customers, our job is to help people in search of products and services find your business and feel invited to explore what you have to offer further. Allow us the pleasure to help.
Carry these words with you as an invitation to at least consider us should the need arise to build or redesign a web site. Or maybe you are unsatisfied with your current web site and need to pursue another direction. Even if you are just exploring your options and are not yet ready to make a decision, we are ready to help.
Below is some information to make the web design process more clear if you are new to such an endeavor. If you are left with unanswered questions, don't hesitate to contact us.

The Web Design Process
What can I expect?
Often we hear people say, ''I know I need a web site, but I have no idea what to expect.'' So toward making the process easier to understand, below is a list of steps.
- Contact WinternetWeb Technologies (www.WinternetWeb.com) and describe whether you are in need of a new site or a redesign of an existing site.
- Determine the scope of your web design needs, with our help, so that an accurate statement of work (a contract) can be prepared detailing the entire project. The official contract is then prepared showing the cost upfront so that there are no surprises later after the design process gets underway. Clients have said this approach makes it easier for them to budget and prepare for their investment. Payment is broken into a one-time design fee and a monthly maintenance free. The design free pays the time, research, knowledge, and labor of the design in addition to the purchase of any digital materials, etc. necessary for the job. The maintenance fee, on the other hand, pays the server that hosts your site, the registration and upkeep of your domain name, and covers future minor updates and changes to the site. (Major additions and functions beyond the scope of the initial contract would naturally require a new contract to address those additional, future needs.)
- Sit back. The design phase begins after the deposit is paid (a third of the design fee). You will be contacted with a link to the proof of your site once complete.
- Review the proof of your site and identify any needed changes.
- After final review of the site and the payment of the remaining balance of the design fee plus the first month's payment of the maintenance fee, your site “goes live.”
How long does the process take?
The total web site development time relies on a number of factors: the complexity of your site, how quickly materials are received for its design, and how quickly the review process takes before finalizing the site.
With that said, a reasonable estimate is usually four weeks, plus or minus two weeks.
What does a web site cost?
After reading the sections above, it should be clear that the cost depends on the complexity of the project, much like when building a house.
The majority of sites designed (see examples) fall within the range of $1,200 to $2,400 -- of course, at times more or less. The only way to know for sure is to discuss your web design needs with us.

Why should I consider a web site?
Imagine for a second how much our world has changed since the first public web page materialized in Aug. 1991. And today, with over 2 billion web pages and growing, more and more businesses are seeking their place on the World Wide Web. The Internet continues to dominate; search engines like Google are many people's first search choice over phone books and traditional print media.
Along with making businesses more accessible, technology has proved that there are virtually no limits to the customization a web site offers. In fact, a well-designed web site adds to your business' credibility and increases buyers' confidence by making it easier for your prospective customers to make an educated decision. Better yet, compared to the costs of print media advertising (newspapers, telephone directories), Web design is very affordable and can interactively be viewed as an advertisement that is permanently accessible, global (not limited to subscription areas or zip codes), comprehensive, customizable, and user-friendly. A good web site is affordable.
Consider, too, that not all web sites are alike. In fact, it is said that you have just three seconds to make a good impression and gain your web site visitor's trust before he or she makes the decision to leave your web page and look elsewhere. This trend of quick and impatient searching is what we today call web surfing. Do you have a web site that has what it takes?
