What makes you different?
There are many people that think that since they simply own
some Web publishing software that they can put up a Web site
and call themselves Professional Web Designers.
At Philly Designs, we take your project seriously. This is
not something that we do part-time or on the side. We have
years of experience and formal education. We work with every
client one on one to give you the service you deserve.
Finally, we gladly work with Internet startup companies, providing
the site design, logo, copywriting, search engine compatibility
and other elements you need to succeed.

How much will it cost?
Unlike other web design companies who hide their pricing,
create arbitrary quotes based on how much they'd like to make,
or charge monthly fees for life; we are honest and upfront
about our pricing structure. Nothing you don't want or need
is forced upon you. You'll have a clear understanding of the
cost before the project begins and no surprises when you receive
the final invoice. And once you pay for it, there are no further
payments - you own it outright.
Contact us for more details.
BackHow long will it take?
If you have the copy (text) for your site written before the
design process begins, it generally takes 1 - 4 weeks from
start to finish. Not having your copy completed before the
design process can significantly delay the production of your
site.
We work within your time constraints. If you need your website
done within a certain time frame, please let us know prior
to starting work.

What is hosting and why do I need
it?
Your Web site needs a home on the Internet - a place for all
your domain name, Web page files and graphics to reside. You
buy or rent Web space through a hosting company. Most hosting
companies offer monthly, quarterly, and yearly packages.
Hosting fees vary greatly depending on your needs. Your hosting
package will need special features if you plan to have a storefront
on your Web site, if you will be connected to a database,
or if you have special programming requirements.

What kind of guarantee do you offer?
We completely guarantee our design work. After viewing the
initial draft(s), if you are not satisfied and wish to discontinue
work on the site, we will refund 100% of your deposit.
If you decide to continue to work with us, we offer you unlimited
revisions to the draft until the point that you are 100% satisfied.
Once the draft is finalized, your copy, links, forms and other
elements will be added, and your site uploaded to your hosting
service.

Can you explain the design process?
We have a five-step process as explained below:
Step One - Contact Us
Simply send an email to info@phillydesigns.com with a short
description of your project. Together we can review the details,
specific requirements and the end result you want for your
site.
Next, we'll provide you with a quote for the total cost of
your site creation. This interaction provides us both with
the information and insights we need to decide if our relationship
will be mutually beneficial. If we are agreed - we move onto
step 2.
Step Two - Make a deposit
You'll be provided with an invoice for 50% of the total of
your quote (this percentage varies according to each project).
This deposit can be made via our secure server using Visa
or Mastercard.
Step Three -Your insight is vital!
While we may be the Web design professionals, you have vital
information about your business, your customers, your likes
and dislikes that will make your site a success. In order
to make the exchange of information quick and easy, we offer
you a choice of two different Web design worksheets.
• The Comprehensive Worksheet is highly recommended for those
who are unsure of their Web site needs and design preferences.
It will help you define your goals and vision for your site
while giving us insight into your individual taste and style.
• The Quick Start Worksheet is for those who already have
a good idea of what they want their Web site to do and how
they want it to look, or for those who choose not to fill
out the longer comprehensive worksheet.
Step Four - Provide us with feedback
We will provide you with two rough drafts for viewing within
one week of receiving your completed worksheet. Your feedback
will help us to determine which direction to take. We may
only need to do some tweaking, or we may completely start
over. Either way, we offer you UNLIMITED revisions until you
are 100% satisfied with the final product.
Step Five- Test and launch
Once you have approved the final design, we add and format
the copy (text) to all the pages and set up your desired features,
such as contact forms. Once everything has been approved by
you, we upload your site to the Web and fully test its functionality.
We make sure that your site can be viewed as intended in Internet
Explorer, Netscape Navigator, and Opera versions 4.0 and above.
The Web design process generally takes anywhere from 1 –
4 weeks.
