Remember we want everyone to have a glamorous website so we always provide payment installment plans for all our website packages. We also work in milestones so we'll provide a timeline of our services for each of your payments before starting. Once we receive your information and you would like to move forward we can schedule a consultation/phone meeting. Here we'll give you a clear understanding of what the design process will entail, and address any important questions you may have. Candy Crayon will make sure you love your new design. We not only offer you the option to update your site but we also provide you with Wordpress video tutorials and are always available for support. We are also available for additional design services for your expanding business.
Sometimes hiring a professional photographer isn't in your budget, or taking your own images isn't an option -that's where stock photography comes in. Try to find images that best represent your services, and not too 'stock' looking. The more real it appears, the more it can connect to your audience.
Write up your text for your additional pages, welcome messages, bio and other content writing. You may pair our services with our writing partner to revise or help you tell your story. You will also want to get your social media links, contact info, and other important information setup. Working with Candy Crayon? We'll provide you with a handy list of everything we'll need to gather from you and make the process as smooth as possible!
