CustomPro will launch your Web Site for you, giving you the maximum freedom to promote yourself and your business.
Read on to explore how we can build a Web Site for you, or select from the following topics:
To provide the maximum in accessibility, CustomPro will help you design and build a complete Web Site, to be housed at your choice of Internet Access Provider’s locations. We have arrangements with Local and National Internet Access Providers if you would like suggestions.
You are then ‘on the Web’ under your own name and site. You have the flexibility to select from:
Updating the Web pages yourself (Self Maintenance).
Have us update the Web pages on a per incident basis (Hourly Development)
Have us fully manage the site for you. We will provide you with monthly reports on usage, along with regular updates to the information on the Web Site. (Update Services)
There are several development packages, from which to base the design of your site. Some customization is expected and encouraged. Additional services are available. The Web Site will include:
Up to 4MB of storage of your Web Pages.
This is adequate for most businesses to start.
An Internet email account to receive and send email
messages.
References (links) to your email account, and reasonable use of hypertext links.
All the software you will need for your Windows 95, Windows NT, or Windows for Workgroups enabled PC to access your Web Site and email account .
At CustomPro, we help bridge the gap between what you wish to achieve on the Web and the technology required to make this happen. The development plan is intended to provide direct assistance in design and development of a Web Site, reducing the total effort that the Customer must invest.
The Web Site Development Plan follows the following format:
Initial Interview
Draft Presentation
Image Collection
Text Generation
Web Site Development
Final Presentation
Web Site Launch
These steps are described below.
Once a set of services have been agreed upon, CustomPro will meet with you and establish some baseline decisions on your Web Site. You can select from the range of available Web Site templates, picking a basic structure to your Web Site. CustomPro will also spend time with you to understand your business and what you want to accomplish with a Web Site.
Some initial information, graphics, and text about you and your business can be collected at this point to help with the initial draft of the Web Site.
An early ‘look’ of your Web Site will be presented to you, in hardcopy, for you to review. This prototype will be based upon the template you have selected, now modified to begin to present you and your business.
The presentation will include:
Copies of the prototype Web pages, with representative text and graphics, (where possible), to show how the page will look.
A graphical display of the pages and the main ‘links’ between the pages
A suggested list of graphics required, including format and content details
You must then assist CustomPro with the next steps of the development, which will build your Web Site.
An important element of your Web Site will be the graphics you choose to present on your Web Site. Whether these are graphical images used to enhance an idea, or pictures used to show some aspect of your business, CustomPro can assist you in the collection, and especially the preparation of these images, before they can be incorporated for use on a Web Page.
CustomPro can work with a large array of image types, be they photographs, video images, or digitally stored photographs. Please check with us on the types of images you have, to ensure that we can take advantage of them.
You may collect the images yourself, or you and CustomPro can establish a mutually satisfactory time or times to collect the images. CustomPro can provide photographic or video equipment along with trained operators, for additional charges.
The actual text used to sell you and your business is best left to you. CustomPro will proofread, clean, and augment text you supply, upon your request. Some minor editing may be done to provide a best fit to the web page structures you have selected. CustomPro can help you author the text, for an additional charge.
Once the major portions of Images and text copy have been collected CustomPro can then develop your Web Site. The development is then followed up with testing to ensure that your Web Site will display properly and effectively to a maximum number of Web users. This includes testing of the Web Site against the latest Web Browsers available as well as a range of computer systems.
The completed Web Site is now re-presented to you for your final approval. Hardcopy versions will be available, as well as showing you how the site will look through a typical web Browser. Some edits and changes can be accommodated.
You Web Site will now be loaded with the Web Pages that have been created. CustomPro will assist you in configuring the supplied software onto your PC, to allow you to see your Web Site. We will also provide some assistance in showing you how to access your email and modify the contents of your web site.
Your Web Site will also be posted to the main Web Search Engines, helping to ensure that your site is discovered by those people who are looking for the products and services your provide.
CustomPro believes that a Web Site best promotes its message by being dynamic, regularly changing the information displayed as well as the structure in which it is presented. Update Services provides a set of activities that will regularly change your Web Site.
Once a Personal Web Site has been launched, you have the option the select our Update Services package. This service not only keeps your Web Site available to the world, but CustomPro also updates information on the site for you.
Some sites will require constant updating, as scheduling information changes or items offered on the web site change. CustomPro can provide very quick turn around for changes, as often as on a daily basis. Some limitations apply, we will reach a mutually satisfactory solution for your web site.
The following functions are provided to you as part of monthly activities:

Monthly or weekly updates to schedule information will be posted to your web site, on the page (or pages) that display calendar type information.
On a quarterly basis, certain sections of your web site can be redesigned. This may include new images and graphics, as well as structural changes.
