The Basics: What You Get with Any Package:

Home page contains Welcome statement, selected images or custom graphic, navigation links, copyright statement if applicable

Personal Information page containing About statements, bios, links and contact information. Two additional pages (up to four pages total).

Intuitive navigational links (Listing of up to 20 links)

Basic image editing as necessary: including cropping, resizing, adjusting brightness/contrast, sharpening, optimization of file size to provide the best balance between image quality and download time on an average 56K modem. Digital images should be scanned at no less than 180 dpi. This basic package includes scanning and basic image editing for the four pages included in the package. Please note that Flash animations and/or sountracks may slow load times dramatically for dial-up users. Meta tags will be written into the HTML of the main page---meta tags allow search engines to discover your site so that your page can be listed in a search. The client must supply keywords for search, in which MtS will assist.

Site will be tested for IE7, Firefox, Netscape and Safari browser compatibility (minor variations in appearance may be evident).

Search engine submission with Google: one time submission.

Updates and changes: Two years free site maintenance (text updates only).After the free site maintenance guarantee has expired, the site can be updated in several ways; If the client is comfortable modifying text in WYSIWYG programs such as Dreamweaver, all text content is plainly laid out for modification by them. If this is not an option, the client may either hire MtS to maintain the site on a monthly contract or on a per-job basis. (Note: Client manipulation of HTML paths and links, image and/or Flash files is not recommended).

Site Ownership After completion, the rights to the site will be wholly owned by the client. If the client decides to use another designer after the site is built (although we sincerely hope they stay with us), they will be able to take all desirable site elements with them.

Viewing Work in Progress. The client's site will always be viewable on a secure server on which MtS will be developing the site. Client input is not only encouraged, it is a must!

Domains. MtS can suggest domain providers, but we do not provide domains or register domain names. This is for the client's protection and ease-of-use.

Text Content. When requested, MtS will assist the client in writing text content for the site, but in the end, it is the client who must provide the content. We strongly urge the client to have a basic text content formed beforehand to aid in the layout of the page design.
