Step 1: Research
Research is key! As a designer, it's my job to communicate your message & identity visually. So you'll receive a Style Questionnaire to help me learn more about you & about your business. It covers topics such as:
- your company name & tag line
- your product line (do you sell similar or repeat items? or do you sell a mixed lot of items that fall into broad categories?)
- your customer demographic
- your color preferences
- your branding vision or sense of style.
I'll also ask for images of your product(s) and for at least 3 links to websites, blogs or other stores you like the look or feel of. This is not to copy their design, but for me to get a visual understanding of what you like in order to create your own unique look.
That's my job as a designer. To choose the right images that communicate the message you want to send & the message your buyers want to hear - making them sit & take notice.
Step 2: Design
The design phase is done in 3 parts: initial concept, first draft & final design.
Providing the initial concept takes the most amount of time to complete (generally a couple of days). But after each phase, you will be emailed a link to view the design. Each time you'll be given the opportunity to make any suggestions or request changes.
Once the final design is agreed upon & coding has begun, there can be no more changes without an additional cost.
Step 3: Coding
As coding begins, your design will be optimized for the web (for fast-loading), all links will hard-coded & any text you have for your About Me page, store page or template will be due at this time to be loaded upfront.
Step 4: Installation
All eBay store packages come with free installation. I will need temporary access into your website or image host - as well as auction listing service, if you use one.
Once installed, you have unlimited tech support for 30 days to ensure everything's working fine.
