Follow these "5 ways to save" and you ultimately save money. By being prepared you will have a web site up and running faster, which brings people to your door faster.

1. Research your competitors. I will know what standards need to be met, and how we can distinguish you from your competitors.

2. Work on a color scheme. If you have a color theme in mind then I can begin the design process early.

3. Map out your web site. Think about how many pages you may want on the site and what text you will want to describe what you offer.

4. Find photos. When you provide the photos that saves time and keeps me from finding images online. Or I offer photography services, where I take pictures specific to your websites needs.

5. Special features. Know what special features you may want, this helps in planning ahead.
