Web Design & Development Process
Many people are not aware of the long process that is involved in planning a website. At Mayhem and Chaos Productions, we walk with you every step of the way. "From imagination....To reality" - Sal B.
Where would you like to start?
In order to develope a website, you must first acquire a URL or domain name. If you prefer, we can take the hassel of finding a URL for you by registering with us. Along with domain name registration, we offer affordable web hosting.
What's this going to cost me?
Request a quote to recieve a pricing list. A proposal will be drafted based on your needs and an estimate of how long we feel it will take to complete the project. Many times we finish the project under the estimated time. For insurance purposes, we require a 50% deposit of the total costs. It's a way of making sure both parties uphold their agreement.
Unique & custom designs...
Anyone can search for a template and add their own content. Templates do little to help your business, keeping in mind SEO (Search Engine Optimization) practices. A custom look with fresh content will not only draw your target audience, it keeps the those search engines looking at you.
