What should I do before contacting AAWebs?
Before we can make a professional site for you, you must be prepared! Have an idea of the kind of sites you like, and make a note of them. Gather as much content as you can: text, images, etc. You may already have a brochure that you can use!

What do I need to do to get started?
Why will people come to your website? This is the question you should ask yourself. What makes you unique? What information are they looking for? If you can answer these questions, you will know what you need to do!
The following are some items you should gather for your site:
- Your logo. If you don't have a logo, we can help you design one. We can scan any logos or photos for you.
- "About Us" information, which may include a history of your company.
- If you are selling a product, you will need photos, descriptions, and prices for each.
- Anything unique about your company is something you will want to include!

Do I have to put down a deposit?

How long will it take before my website goes live?
This mostly depends upon you as the client. Here is a general idea of the amount of time it takes:
-
Send deposit and all content. (Note: We will not begin any work on your site until deposit and all content is received!)
-
First mock-up will be finished and posted to the Internet on our server for you to view at or before one week from the date we receive deposit and content.
-
You then respond within five business days via e-mail or telephone with any desired changes to mock-up, or respond with a final approval if no changes are desired.
-
We are responsible to finish site two weeks or less after approval of mockup. (time is subject to change depending on size of site.)
-
Web site will be posted the same day full payment is received.
Basically, the shortest amount of time we've completed a website: 3 days. The longest: 2 years. The deciding factor is always the client. Putting together meaningful content can be tough.
