Need to update the content on your site? Want your latest photo added? Let us do it for you. We do not require a contract, however we highly recommend it for the best savings. Let us know what your needs are and we will gladly custom fit you with a plan.

We can:

• Add, remove or change text
• Add articles, reports, ebooks or links to existing pages
• Add logos, photographs, or images

Maintenance services apply to changes to your existing design. Maintenance does not apply to redesigning an entire page or site.

Contact us to inquire about maintenance.

Simply use our contact form to send us 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.

You'll be provided with an invoice for 50% of the total of your quote. This deposit can be made via our secure server using Visa or Mastercard. We also accept PayPal payments.

We will accept personal checks but we do require 100% of the estimated total up front. There is a 3 to 5 business day waiting period for all payments remitted by personal check. Your project will begin once your payment has cleared.

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 those choose not to fill out the longer comprehensive worksheet.

We will provide you with two rough drafts for viewing within one week of receiving your completed worksheet and deposit. 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.

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 2 - 6 weeks. To alleviate any unnecessary delays, we recommend that you have the majority of your copy written before your design begins. MES Webguys offers discounted copywriting and Web design combo packages as a one-stop solution to your Web design needs.
