Sherlock Designer

This package is designed so you can maintain your site yourself.  We will design the website, design several extra pages (about me, ordering, etc), set up the shopping cart, set up the categories, lots of extras and you add your products.  All you have to do is fill in a form and the program does all of the work for you.  We will set up the website so it is optimized for the search engines.  Click on this link for Tutorials for maintaining your site.

Sit back and be patient!!  I know it's hard.  I will do my best to get your site up as quickly as possible, so the more information you send me as quickly as possible, the quicker I will be able to finish.  I usually allow 2 - 3 weeks to set up a website.  But the time will vary depending on what you want, when you get everything to me and how busy I am.  When I have the first few pages up I will email you so you can look it over and let me know what you think.  If there is something you don't like I need to know, after all this is your home on the web and you need to be pleased with it.  I will do my best to please you.  After you have decided on the graphics, etc.  I will not change it.  After we have decided on the graphic package any additional changes or graphics there will be an additional fee.

To do list - To get started there are a few things I need you to do so visit the designer to do list page.

All about me page - Most people like to know a little about the person they are buying from and besides that it personalizes your website.  We want your customers to feel welcome and like they are buying from a friend, so I highly recommend an "all about me page".  Be brief, a little about you and your family, or about your company, how you got started, etc., they want to know you but they don't want to read a book about you.  Also include a picture, if possible.  I know not all of us are "photogenic", 20 something, beautiful, rich and thin.  People will relate to a smiling, cheerful face.

Descriptions - Gather all of the information for each product, name, size, colors, description, order number, etc.  You know your product best, and what you want it to say about your business, so send the information to me in a word document and send it as an attachment in your email.  Send a few at a time.  I will edit for phrasing, spelling, etc.  I will also need a list of all the words that describe what your products and your website are.  List every word that you can think of that relates in any way to your product or website.

Pictures - The best pictures are digital. Click here for information on uploading pictures and sizing them.  For more information on the picture program to use and instructions please visit the photo instruction page.
