Your One Day Starter Site is a basic website. When you order, you ordering both a process and a website.

The process goes like this:

  • We work with you in advance to help you compile enough of the right material to build a basic site.
  • We agree on a production day to work on your site. We plan to have your site done and launched on that day.
  • We're at each other's disposal all day on the production day. We may need your attention at any time, and we'll expect you to make time for us. You'll have our attention all day (except for bathroom breaks, maybe some food, and the occasional phone call from the kids...)
  • Because we need access to you and your business marketing materials, we're probably going to work at your office on the production day. (There are some exceptions, but they are just that - exceptions. Also, there are limits to how far we'll drive for the advertised price. If you're more than 50 miles from Milwaukee and want us to work on site, we will charge extra for transportation.)
  • We start the day with a pre-production meeting, talking about your goals, choosing a domain name, setting up your web and email hosting, etc.
  • Your payment is due at the end of the pre-production meeting.
  • Most of the day is spent producing your website. You can check in on us, watch over our shoulder, ask questions, and make suggestions. We'll take your input very seriously, and we'll make informed decisions that make your site work better.
  • Toward the end of our production day, we plan to launch your new website for all the world to see.
  • Once your site is launched, we submit it to a couple of big search engines.
  • After your production day, we'll be responsible for making sure your site is available on the internet. We may also be responsible for making sure that your email addresses at your One Day Starter Site domain go to another email address you gave us.
  • We offer a number of services after your site is launched. Most of them are not included in your One Day Website fee. While almost all of them will help your site perform better on the internet, none of them are really needed to have a successful starter site.

Your website will include:

  • A choice of basic layouts
  • Copy we've written for your web pages. (Typically not more than 250 - 400 words per page.)
  • Some customizations for your website's look-and-feel, using your logo, photos, graphics, etc
  • A home page
  • Probably a page about your business
  • A page for your products, services, or menu
  • A contact page
  • A privacy policy page
  • A site map

Besides creating your website, we're also providing some other features and services:

  • Registering a domain name for your website
  • Hosting your website (making it available on the internet) for one year
  • Providing a "content management system", a set of web pages that you can use to modify and maintain your website
  • Writing the text for your site
  • Submitting your site to Google and Yahoo, for both general web searches and for local (yellow pages-like) listings
  • Weekly or monthly reports (your choice) on how your site is performing
  • A backup of your initial site that you can download onto your own computer, just in case

There are some things that aren't included in your One Day Starter Site:

  • Your starter site comes with 5 or 6 pages. We can add, or help you add, more pages, but this isn't included in your One Day Starter Site fee.
  • Although your site will be launched with a "content management system", training on how to use it isn't included in your One Day Starter Site fee.
  • We don't include movies and animated web page gizmos (in most cases, anyway).
  • Your One Day Starter Site doesn't include other services that you might really benefit from using, like Twitter, Facebook, a newsletter, or a blog. We can help you with all of these after your One Day Starter Site is done.
  • Your One Day Starter Site doesn't include dynamic content, like your latest Tweets, your most recent blog posts, or news clippings about your business or industry. It may be a really good thing to add these, and we can help you with that after your One Day Starter Site is done.
  • We want you to know in advance how much our optional services will cost you, so we put a page of optional services and costs on our site. You can count on these prices for one year from when your One Day Starter Site is launched, unless we lower the prices, in which case you can pay the lower price.

Finally, there are some caveats, disclaimers, and legalese-sounding things we think ought to be in the terms too:

  • We'll do everything we promise, the Good Lord Willing and the Creek Don't Rise. We plan to be working on your site on the day we say we will, launch it in a single day, and keep it running continuously for as long as you've paid for. But you should understand that we can't control the future, even though we'll do our best to prepare for it.
  • We'll do our best to make an effective, usable, accessible, and standards-compliant website based on your materials and input on the production day. We reserve the right to make "final decisions" regarding the look-and-feel and content of your website. Once it's launched, though, your site is in your hands and you can make any changes you'd like.
  • Even though production days tend to fly by when we're cranking out a One Day Starter Site, we're not a fly-by-night operation. We're a real company, family-owned, Made in the USA. We are Rob Martin and Barbara Handley, Quintessential Mischief LLC, 706 South 22nd Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53204. You can reach us at that address, or by email to bothofus@onedaystartersite.com.
