Lightway Web Services, Inc. provides professional website design. Each web project starts with the initial consultation. Your small business website is your identity on the world wide web. For any professional business, this can be as important as your physical storefront. Your potential customers will make a decision about your business based on the look and feel of your website as well as the quality of the content that is available.

Web Design Process

Initial Consultation

Here are some of the following things to consider when planning your website project. There is a great deal of thought that goes in to planning a new website or in to redesign an existing website. Here are some helpful questions to ask yourself when planning your website.

• Target Audience - Who will be visiting my website?
• Site Content - What information needs to on the site?
• Design Type - Will I need to change information regularly on my website?
• Design Style - How should my website look?

Website Template

After the initial consultation, we will prepare a design template that will be used for your website. The template is the foundation for which the rest of the website is built. We spend a lot of time on the site template to make sure that your style comes across just right. In our design, we will work to incorporate your business logos, colors, fonts, and any other styles that you may use.

Website Design

We then build the home page from the template and populate the home page with information about your business. Once the template and home page are approved, we will populate the remainder of the site with the text, images, and other data. Your website will be available for viewing during the design process by logging into our website.

Website Hosting and Marketing

Once the website design is complete and is approved, your web hosting account will be setup. The entire website will then be uploaded to the hosting server and your site will made live. The last part of the process is for us to optimize your website for marketing with all the major search engines. We will work with you to enhance your website so that your search engine ranking is as high as possible and then submit your website to the major search engines including Google, Yahoo, and MSN.
