We begin with a phone conversation, learning about who you are and what you want in your new website. If we determine that we are good match for your goals, we will send you a short survey. Your answers will help us evaluate and plan your project. Next, we create a detailed, line-item proposal that includes all the elements we believe you need to meet your website goals. From that estimate, you choose what work you do and do not want us to do. Once we agree on the goals and estimate, we let the fun begin!

We design your site to reflect your vision for your business. The design options we offer are only limited by your imagination and your budget. We make your custom web site as simple or elaborate as you wish. We usually start the design process with a phone interview between you and one of our artists. After some back-and-forth clarification of your preferences, we send you a design demo that we think encompasses all that we have discussed. From there, edits, additions and deletions are made until you have a design that you are truly happy with. Out of Nowhere can creates many design styles; from crisp, clean and corporate to artsy "grunge" and everywhere in between.

As we create your custom design, we plan for the development and integration of any special functionality you may want. "Functionality" is just our term for any type of special programming built into the basic site. This includes:

• online forms that visitors fill out
• password protected areas of the site
• membership management
• blogs
• feed widgets
• sharing technologies
• ecommerce / shopping carts
• video integration
• website search
• calendars
• email newsletters
• and on and on and on

Even if we've never created it before, we do the necessary research to give you the functionality you desire.

Although this is listed last, it is both the first and last thing we consider. Search engine accessibility and performance must be considered every step along the way, beginnning with the way each page is designed and the content on those pages. We consider search engines when we create page names and navigation. We educate you about the importance of incoming links to your site and encourage the use of social networking and sharing technologies. In the end, we make sure that every site has a special sitemap accessible only to the search engines to facilitate your site's inclusion and ranking. We do everything we know to help your site perform well in the search engines naturally. For those who have a business type that is highly competitive in the search engines we also can advise you on pay-per-click advertising opportunities.
