Overview and Goals

Dear Robert,

We don't need to tell you how important your website is to your brand, your customer experience, andyour ability to interact with your target audience. We are in the era of cookie cutter websites. If you wantyour website to stand out, you have to offer something more. Just having a website is not enough.According to statistics from the Neilson Norman Group, most people stay on a web page for less than aminute. The report signs off on a positive note, with the message, ‘pages that have a clear valueproposition will hold a visitor's attention for much longer'. So what are these value propositions? Websitedesign is one aspect. Content is another.

It's not just about your website looking cool - it needs to look on-brand, work smoothly, allow users toeasily find what they're looking for and do what you want them to do. It needs to load quickly, be search-engine friendly, simple for your team to update, and responsive to whatever kind of device users areviewing from.

At Clarus Computers, we can make this all happen with more gain than pain. With your help, we'lltransform your website into being one of the most valuable members of your team.

Sincerely,

Jaye ClissoldClarus Computers

Scope of ServicesResearchThe first step is we need to thoroughly understand your business, your business goals, your customersand their expectations and behaviour, and how your website factors into all of it. We’ll also look at thecompetitive landscape to establish context and benchmarks for how your site should function and thenimprove on that. This stage will give us the foundation for moving forward with just the rightrecommendations for the design and development of your new responsive website. We will provide youwith a list of question to help us better understand the best way your website can help you and yourbusiness.

DesignOnce we’re armed with this information, we’ll set to work creating design layouts according to yourneeds.

We recommend having all of your content ready by this stage which will inform the design and make itfaster to load the initial content on the development server so content doesn't hold back the launch. Ifyou won't be able to provide professionally written content by this stage we can provide this for you.

DevelopmentNext we'll set to work making your design a reality by building the site using standards-basedtechnology. We'll build the front-end templates in HTML5, CSS, and use JQuery for simple behavior andeffects like animations and form validation.

WORDPRESS THEME DEVELOPMENT

We recommend WordPress as your content management system (CMS) so you can update the contentyourself. WordPress is the most popular open-source CMS in the world and has thousands of developersconstantly improving it and contributing plugins to extend it's functionality.

We'll install WordPress on your server, set up the admin panel for you and then create a customWordPress theme that will mirror the design we created for you.

We'll add all of your content for you based on the number of pages you estimated you would need. Youwill be able to add new top level and secondary pages to the site navigation yourself in WordPress.

Plugins are a way to extend the functionality of WordPress and make the admin panel easier to manage.We'll install a limited number of plugins for launch, which will include contact forms, automaticallybackup the database, SEO tools so you can manage the title and meta description tags, and an XMLsite-map generator which will help Google index your pages automatically.

Case Studies & TestimonialsCase studies and testimonials provide social proof to your visitors that you have helped others in needor your expertise, and reassures them that you can help them too.

House PlansA module to display all of the house plans you have displayed neatly so that people can find the planthey're looking for. They'll be able to search the plans to suit their needs.

TestingWe will test your site as much as we can on both desktops and mobile devices and we ask you to do thesame to ensure you are happy with how your site looks and functions across all devices.

LaunchOnce you’ve tested the website and are happy with its functionality, we’ll make the WordPress theme liveon your website and point your domain over to the new site. Launch time!

HostingYou will need a domain name and website hosting to be organised before we can go live with thewebsite. We recommend Country Host who are managing your existing website. They will charge $25/month for a WordPress hosting environment, or if you want to pay yearly it will be $250, so you get twomonths free. If you're happy for Country Host to remain your hosting provider, I can have someonecontact you to get this sorted.

TimeframeTo complete the work outlined in the project scope, we'll need approximately 4 weeks from beginning toend, depending on when we receive feedback and content. Upon signing the proposal we are prepared tostart work immediately.
