New Website Design & Development Projects

Process

The steps below outline the process for all web design projects:

1. Website Quotation

   Upon contacting us with your website requirements we will provide you with a quotation for your new website.

2. Deposit

   Before work can start on any website project, a deposit is required. This is typically around 30% of the total cost with the exact amount specified in your quotation. For payment options go to http://www.mgswebdesign.ie/payments/

3. Project Start

   Once your deposit is received, work on your new website will commence. At this stage, if you haven’t already, you should send on any content or examples that you want us to use and once we have enough to work with, the design stage begins. You can of course continue to send additional information and content at any time after work has commenced.

4. Website Preview

   Once the project is underway we aim to have a preview of your new website ready within 2 weeks.
   
   With some projects we’ll email on an image preview of what your new website will look like and, if necessary, make changes based on your feedback. On your approval, we then move forward with building a working online preview of the website. Depending on the complexity of the website we may go straight to the online preview stage which provides a better representation of the final working website.
   
   Once the online preview of your website has been delivered an invoice is issued for the remaining balance to be paid and within 30 days therafter you can, if needed, request further additions or changes that you want made. The online preview will be updated to reflect any changes you request within this timeframe. Please note that any requests made after this period will not be processed until full payment is received.

5. Launch & Go Live!

   Once full payment has been received your website can go live on your domain and we will email you any login details associated with your website and email addresses.

6. Post-Launch Support & Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
   
   After your website goes live we offer an additional number of days of complementary free updates where you can, if needed, request further changes at no extra charge. During this period we also optimise your website for the major search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. SEO work is not carried out prior to going live because page content can sometimes change quite a bit during the pre-launch development stages and any SEO work carried out could easily be undone.

Revisions

The total cost of a web design project includes all additions and changes requested prior to the online preview stage and for 30 days thereafter. Once your new website goes live we also provide an additional number of days of free updates complementary and free of charge. The maximum period of time covered for any project unless specified otherwise is 60 days from the invoice date. Any additional changes requested after this period may incur additional charges.

Watermarked Images

Sometimes watermarked images may be used on website previews during the design and development process. Once your website goes live these will be replaced with watermark free images.

Additional Functionality

Please note that any additional functionality requested that is not covered in your initial website design package or quotation may incur additional charges. In such cases we will only carry out such work after you have been notified of this and have given us the go ahead.
