A website is a representation of your business on the Internet. If its unattractive, unorganized, or worse doesn't exists what does that say about your business to your customers that use the Internet? A fast, easy-to-navigate website encourages viewers to explore your site and keeps them coming back. It's never too late to get ahead of your competition and either build or re-design the site you know you need.

D2 works hard to stay current on website technology and loves the challenge of design, redesign and development of websites. A website sometimes needs an overhaul; one that never changes looks neglected and out of date. I have the experience to deal with websites designed by others and can make use of the work already done in order to complete the work you require. I will provide a free consultation to discuss your goals and work with you and your budget to make changes that will help you get your message across to your customers.

When I am asked to develop a website or custom software, I want to be sure what the customer has in mind for a completed project. That is why I will review site design options with you, give pros and cons of the different options and keep you, the customer, involved throughout the entire process. This is a rough idea of my site development process to keep in mind if you are thinking about starting a site.

This is a brief outline of a website development project. Unless you want D2 to have 100% control of your site, plan to be fully involved as an "information source" and partner throughout the project.

I will meet with the client to discuss plans for the website/software, to determine the goals and results of the website/software (to sell a product, to give information etc.)

Oftentimes the client may have printed materials that already portray a professional image. D2 works hard to use these graphic images and content to insure your image is clearly represented on the website. If you are starting a new on-line business and need to incorporate a logo designed from scratch or if you simply need a fresh look to your existing material, D2 can provide you with these services.

Review the site architecture to determine how you want your customers to navigate through your site.

D2 will work with your existing host or can arrange affordable and reliable hosting through BlueHost.com.

Design a "test" layout for customer approval. Revise any desired changes and return for final customer approval. Present to customer for final approval and posting on the Internet.

Submit new site to various search engines for increased traffic.

Step by step education about your website and how to maintain it. Plus I will supply you with copy of all your web site's coded pages, graphics, and database plus a document addressing your site's host information all on a CD.

Maintain site with updates, links, and current submission to search engines.

I will explore what you need in an online presence and create a homepage look that represents you. I never use pre-made templates and promise every site is 100% unique! While working together we will design a fantastic site that represents your business and suits the needs of your customers.

Solid website development requires many aspects beyond the look that casual development experience doesn't expose. Everything from search listings to load speed to data validation can be controlled through proper development. If your business requires a professional to print your marketing material then you need a professional website developer like D2.

Are you tired numerous canned business programs with over seas support that just don't meet your needs? Dragonfly Development works with you to design, develop, train, and support custom software for your business with big results at a fraction of the cost.

The content management systems allow you to change the content of a website by completing a few online forms that I will fully train you on how to use.

Though I offer a maintenance contract, you may not need continual updating. As an alternative I offer "On-the-Fly Maintenance". This includes downloading the page(s) needing to be updated, updating the content and one image, and then re-uploading the edited page(s) and images to your host. Requested changes are done within 2 business days.

You must commit to a full year at this price and includes downloading of page(s), maintenance of said pages and re-uploading the edited pages to your host. Regular site maintenance is performed on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 7am-4pm CST; I ask that you submit maintenance requests Monday through Wednesday, no later than 5 pm CST. This package offers you a vastly reduced hourly rate option and ensures that your updates will be timely.
