Once a quote has been accepted, it is time to prepare the images and text for your website. To streamline this process we have provided this guide which takes you through how to share your text and images with our development team.
Each website package comes with the following default pages:
These pages are what are known as static pages. This means that aside from plugins from your content management systems, the content for these pages needs to be provided by yourself so that our development team can update it for you.
In addition to your default pages, each package comes with a certain amount of additional static pages. For instance, if you have purchased the 1 Page eCommerce Website Package, you have 1 static page that you can use for anything you like. If you purchased the 5 Page eCommerce Website Package, you have 5 static pages you can use for whatever you like. You do not have to use all of these pages at once, they can be used at any time.
We will require a folder for each static page on your website containing one Word Document and one folder containing all images for that page. It is a good idea to first create a containing folder, for example the Website Content folder shown below, then within that place all of the folders for each static page you have inside that folder.
We will expect to receive this content within 5 days of accepting the quote and statement of work to ensure that it does not delay the completion of the website. If however, you are unable to send this information before the development has been completed, we will ask you to sign off the project and we will create a quote for the work required to complete outside of the agreed timescale specified in the statement of work.
All images should be at least 1280px x 720px, this gives us enough room to edit the images into the sizes we require for your website. Each image should be high quality, using low quality images will have a negative effect on your website. The images should match your chosen color scheme to ensure that the website does not look strange.
For each of the static pages you will need to provide:
In the case of the homepage, we may need multiple images if you have a sliding banner, in this case we will advise you to provide additional banner images.
You should also provide details of where each image is to be used in the text document for the relevant page by providing the file name of the image and specifying where it is to go on the page.
In the text documents you should provide all headings and text you require for each page. As we are not a copywriting company, we will use your text as the final text, so please take time to ensure it is grammatically correct and there are no spelling mistakes.
The Terms and Conditions and Cookies and Privacy Policy pages are powered by a content management systems that allows you to upload your own Terms and Conditions and Cookies and Privacy Policy. Although these pages are mostly powered by TMS, we still require images for the banners and some intro text.
Once you have prepared your text and images into the format specified above, you can now make a compressed folder of the Website Content folder and send it over to us. Depending on the size of this folder it may be possible to email it, however if it is too large please let us know and we will create a folder on our Google Drive where you can upload it to us.
