The hard part is deciding that you want a web presence for your practice.  The rest is easy.  You want to hire Medical Web Design to create your website with as much or as little involvement as you would like.  What happens?   Where do we start?  How do I get from wanting a website for my present and future patients to view to having an active website created by Medical Web Design on the internet?

Many people are intimidated just by the idea of getting a website, simply because they don't know what it entails and what they will have to do.

Medical Web Design makes the process painless because I do the work for you. Some clients want to be intimately involved and provide all of the information and pictures which will be on the site. Others just ask for a site, provide a minimal amount of information, and I do the rest.  Either way, how does it work?

Contact me either by calling 410-677-6574 or by emailing me at sbylax2r@aol.com.  I will talk to you about your needs and develop a preliminary set of site layouts for you to evaluate so that when we meet for the first time we can review some possible layouts for your site.  I will collect information about your type of practice that is available online and incorporate links into the site to sources of information important to your type of practice.  I will request that you provide me with whatever materials you would like to put online as well as any marketing materials you already have.

Once I receive your materials, I begin designing a more customized home page.  I create most of the sites in Microsoft Front Page 2002 with extensive use of Adobe Photoshop and Macromedia Fireworks, and subtle use of JAVA Applets as well as stylish use of Macromedia Flash Animations.  I will meet with you to present the updated layout. I can come to your practice to take photographs to put on the site if you do not have pictures.  Once you are satisfied with the look and feel of the Home Page, I will complete designing the rest of the site.

While this is happening, I will be registering a Domain Name (your internet address) and contacting a host server such as Delmarva Online to get a spot on their server for your site.  Once design of your site is completed and  accepted, I will make it live.  This means that when someone types in your domain name into their browser, your site comes up on their computer.  I then begin the search engine optimization process.

This can take as little as two weeks.  The rate limiting step is you making the decision for Medical Web Design to make your website or waiting for you to provide me with pictures or other information you want included on your site.  So let's get started.  Contact me by calling 410-677-6574 or by email sbylax2r@aol.com and you'll be on your way to having a site on the World Wide Web.
