Getting Started

Preparing Your Text

• It's best for you to create a separate Word processor file for each Web page.   Use this worksheet to indicate which file names correspond to which Web pages.
• We prefer Microsoft Word, though we can convert a wide variety of file types.
• Please do not send us a draft of your text.   We work best with your final version.   While we expect to make minor changes here and there after the Web pages are prepared, we must charge extra to format and insert brand new text.
• Most word processors allow you to count the approximate number of words. Web pages which contain more than 1,200 words may be subject to additonal charges, especially if they require a good deal of formatting.

Preparing Your Graphics

• The quality appearance of your Web site has a lot to do with the photos or graphics you choose for your Web pages.   Clipart can be used, but tends to make the pages look amateurish.   Photos are probably best.
• You may send graphics to us in either digitized form or hard copy photos which we will scan.
• Prepare captions for each photo (we don't know what they represent). You may affix a PostIt Note to the photo to indicate its caption and which Web page it goes on.
• If you need us to prepare specialized graphic elements, please explain clearly, and perhaps include a sketch.   We have on-staff artists and charge for such items on an hourly basis.
• You may select stock photos from your pages from PhotoDisc or Corel, and give us the photograph number. We will purchase and download the appropriate photo, place it on the Web page indicated, and bill you for the photo cost.   If you want us to find and select photos, we charge our hourly rate.

Please include this Web Page Content Worksheet with the materials you send to us.   Feel free to use your own form, if that is more convenient.
