4. Color and Accents
For the most part, we recommend a white background for best readability and contrast, with a band of color or a pattern running down the left margin of the webpage. Your preference:___________________________________________

5. Navigation System
Links from the front page and sectional pages to every page in the system to enable Web search engines to "spider" and index content on every page.
Colored bar "Image Map"
with a brief word or two indicating each page -- or, in larger sites -- each section of the website. This appears at the bottom of every page. In some sites we put this both top and bottom. You are limited to a maximum of about eight (8) selections on this image map. We use server side image maps to make it easy to expand the site at a later time without having to change the coding on each page of the site. For this reason, and to keep costs down, we do not include separate "buttons" on our standard sites.   Included in sites of 6 pages or more.
Left-Side Menus
with text links are especially useful on larger sites.   Included in sites of 6 pages or more. They can allow more detail than an 8-item bottom image map, and can enable visitors to see from any page how to get to any other. These may be white or light-colored over a dark left-side color or pattern, or black or dark over a light left-side color or pattern
Do you have any trademarks or service marks? If so, please list them here and indicate which are registered trademarks.

8. Photos, Graphics, Animations, Sound, and Video

Guestbook for visitors to record comments

Request for information

Survey of customer preferences
Note: We do not set up sites that use the response form as an order form, since these require secure servers, and secure order pick-up. For one or two products we recommend using a specific business package from any number of providers, either Yahoo or ShopSite Lite with a secure server are good choices. We charge extra to set that system up.

10. Web Hosting Service
We can recommend a web hosting service for your website, unless you have a preference.
