 WebDesign
Studio Matrix provides websites
in various sizes. Start small with a domain
name and a one-page designed site that links
to your social networks... or go with a full website
with several webpages. Studio Matrix can also redesign
your current website. Before contacting about webdesign,
please gather ideas about navigation and color scheme. Designs
are custom made... but state if you prefer
a pre-made template
design.
Before you contact Studio Matrix, check out the webdesign services
and preparation details below.
Pre-pay your selected services below.
Once payment is made, you will be contacted.
FIRST:
DOMAIN NAME
Do you have a website domain name? That is
the web address people will be type in the browser to find you
and/or your business online. It's the first thing you need to
purchase. If you don't have a domain name yet, Studio Matrix
uses and recommends, you register your domain name for $15 a
year with www.Hover.com.

been using that company for years.We always buy the domain names
separate from the website hosting in case one goes down or out
of business, we can still access to the other.
SECOND: WEBSITE
HOSTING
You'll need to purchase hosting service for your website.
You need website hosting for your images, webpage, etc. This
is usually a monthly fee, about $10 a month, though it can be
a little less when you purchase a year in advance. Studio Matrix
uses and recommends you register your website hosting with
Host
Gator.

their site. We've been using that company for years and we researched
A LOT before we found them.
THIRD:
PREPARE and DECIDE
Once your website hosting is in place, before
you contact Studio Matrix, save yourself time
and frustration by preparing and deciding what you need for
your website.
You will need to decide the following. Write this
down and answer the questions:
A) What is your website going to be used for?
B) How many pages do you need on your website?
C) What will be on each page? *(used for navigation.
for example: about, bio, contact, etc.)
D) What type of navigation do
you want? (across the top? down the left side?)
E) What photos do you want used in the design?
F) What color scheme do you want?
G) Do you want a news system? (you
can post your own news or have Studio Matrix do it for an extra
monthly cost)
H) Do you have any examples of sites you've
seen?
I) Gather your social network links in a document
or text file.
J) If you need a biography, get it written
up.
K) If you need manager/agent info on the site,
gather it.
L ) When do you need your website done by?
M) Note if you are looking to have video or
music on the website.
N) How much do you want on each
page?
O) Do you want a flash website or regular?
(flash sites are harder for search
engines to pick up; partial flash is fine)
P) What is your target audience?
Q) How often will you need website maintenance?
R) Write down any additional notes or questions
you have.
S) Prepay for your website design.
**Note, StudioMatrix doesn't work with Flash at this
time, so if you need it we'll have to hire an outside company
that can help.
FINALLY:
PREPAY
QUOTE
from a web designer: "In the end, it comes down to time
- people don’t know how long it takes and how much creative
effort goes into building a website. People will pay $1500+
for a nice printer for their business, but when it comes to
their online brand - their ONLINE BRAND!!!!! They think “my
brother’s, wife’s, uncle’s friend is into
IT, and he says he can do me a website for $150?" -By Time
(You get what you pay for. If you want quality - connect
with unique talent and experience - a custom image is a luxury
item for your business.)
NOTE: Webdesign packages vary. If there are many changes
during design, etc. additional costs may be involved.
* If you need an hourly rate: $50-$150 depending
on what is needed.
