Website Design

It has always been my goal to start a home-business related to our dairy goats and I am
now proud to be able to offer Website Design. I have over 27 years experience breeding and showing dairy goats and even more years experience with dairy cattle. I know how to present pedigrees, performance data and pictures in a herd brochure format that will highlight your herd. Let's sit down and discuss adding a website to your marketing program today!!

The process of getting a website is really easy. All we have to do is work together to develop the site you are only imagining. Once I receive your deposit, we can get down to business. All you need to do is tell me what colors you prefer, what sites you like and what sites you don't like. Tell me if you have certain graphics that you would like me to use.

After I have this information, I can develop a site for you. I will then upload it to the web (where only you can see it) and you will have the opportunity to review it and we can work together to make changes to make it exactly what you want.

After we have developed the design you want, you can then send me the pictures and text that you want used on the site. I prefer to have everything sent via email and files can be sent in almost any format (MS Word, Notepad, Excel, pdf). Graphics can be sent in most any format. High resolution photo files should be made smaller before sending.

If you have all of your information ready, it usually only takes me about 1-2 weeks to have a site up and "live" but the work doesn't end there. We can continue to fine tune it and add items as they come along. The first year of maintenance is included in the design and construction fees. I try to do updates as they come in and they are usually completed easily within a week. I prefer to do maintenance on sites that I design. If you choose later to do your own maintenance, the
changes you make are no longer my responsibility. Also all of my designs will be copyrighted. Please be aware of that before you begin the process.

I also periodically will send our reminders that it's time to update your site...important times like kidding season, show season and breeding season when most of the updates come in but feel free to send updates whenever you have them. I will try to let you know if there will be a delay in getting your site updated.

Thanks for your interest in Sunflower Web Design...I hope to hear from you soon so we can start making your website dreams a reality.

Please feel free to visit any of the sites on my Website Portfolio and view my work.
