At eXtremesurf, we work closely with the client during all phases of the development process.  Client involvement is the best way to insure a successful web site.  We approach development of a web site, whether six pages or several hundred pages, in the following manner:

1. Preliminary conference with the prospective client - either in person or by telephone - for the "long distance" project.
2. Based upon this conference, eXtremesurf submits a detailed proposal to the prospective client outlining site content and cost - always based on measurable units.
3. Upon approval by the client, a contract is signed between eXtremesurf and the client which includes:
• The date on which eXtremesurf will provide an exemplar page reflecting the web site's "style".
• The date of completion and final payment
• The terms of payment. Traditionally, the client pays 50% upon contract signing, 25% at the date midpoint in the project, and 25% upon completion before the site goes online.
• Any special instructions that pertain to the project.
4. During the time in which eXtremesurf prepares the exemplar page, the client is responsible for gathering together all materials needed by eXtremesurf to complete the project.
5. eXtremesurf develops and creates the web site, all the while making the developmental site available to the client at a private URL. No part of the web site is formally placed online without client's approval.
6. eXtremesurf provides a basic registration of the site with all major search engines, plus any supplemental search engines specifically requested by the client. A more extended registration is available at additional cost. Usually, however, this is not necessary.
7. eXtremesurf gives instruction to the client as to how to market the web site.  This instruction includes, but is not limited to, registration with search engines and how to effect prime placement on the engines.
8. Upon client approval and final payment, eXtremesurf places the site online.
9. Periodically, according to a web site update contract, eXtremesurf makes changes to the web site to keep it "fresh" and to encourage the search engine "spiders" to continually visit the client's site.

As a part of eXtremesurf's pre-development dialogue, determinations will be made as to the various elements that will be used in developing the site. eXtremesurf uses standard web development techniques and programming.  For a more detailed treatment of some of the elements that can be incorporated into your web site, please contact us for further information.
