About Lake Side Web Design
Aiming to please with ease!
Getting a web site up can often seem like a hassle, preventing many small business and organizations from taking the steps necessary to get their presence on the World Wide Web. We do our best to take the hassle OUT of the process and make it as simple as possible for you. Amd more so, WE KEEP COSTS TO A MINIMUM with our services.
We do this with pre-made templates from which you can choose your design. The reason we've taken this approach is due to many clients through the years stating "just make a site". Well that can be difficult - especially when people don't even know just what to put on them in the first place. (Another issue we've run into.) The templates will give you some guidance as to what content is important for any web presence and hopefully the templates will give you both the look you'd like and inspiration for your site.
Do note, when we say pre-made, we mean pre-made. This is done to simplify the process, therefore do not ask us to make any major alterations to any design. They come as is. Having said that; however, we do, of course customize each site to your specifications. Customization is swapping out sample images for your own images, adding your written text and contact information, etc.
If you are just seeking a very bare-bones web presence, we offer what is known as V-Cards. These are basic, one-page layouts with no other on-site links. This would be similar to a business card you'd hand out to people. It states your basic information and what you do or stand for, etc. Some people like to have a personal V-card just to share their contact information. You can have links to external websites, as well. For example, if you have a Facebook or Twitter account you'd like to share. See the V-Card layouts for more information and templates.
Feeling Confused?
Don't! Just surf around a bit and you'll see this is pretty intuitive. Or we hope so! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. But basically, this truly is an easy process.
Surf the Site!
Look to the right at the template cateogory menu and surf the site - we are certain a bit of looking around will be all you need to grasp our process. It's a 4-step process for you:
- Surf the site.
- Pick out a template.
- Pay the fee.
- Submit your content.
What's The Catch?
There really is none. But you must know the following before you decide if this is for you:
- ABSOLUTELY NO MAJOR DESIGN CHANGES TO THE TEMPLATE DESIGNS BEYOND CUSTOMIZATION! In other words: What you see IS what you get.
- You write and submit your own copyright-free content. We are the designers, not the content creators. Your personal words and images will add precisely what you want to depict for your company, business or organization. This is why it is vital that you portray yourself through your own words and images, which you will submit to me via email. This whole process can be done online and via telephone discussions. You needn't waste a drop of gas.
- We will keep in touch every step of the way as well as uploading in a temporary directory so you can view your site online before you go live with your own domain. Minor changes to text or images are no problem at this point. We want you fully satisfied before you go live.
