Website Development
Our company was founded on the idea that every creative person should be able to have an "attention getting" website at a reasonable cost to display the beauty and skill of their work. You select a website style from one of our galleries and, because the technical design of the website is already developed, we can customze the text, pictures, fonts, colors etc. at a very low cost. Since we are a small "boutique" website company, you can speak directly with the developer working on your website to make certain the results are what you expect. We offer a range of website styles and pricing, depending on the sophistication of the design and the effort required to customize the style with your content. Look through our website style galleries listed below.

Sending Payments
We accept payments on-line using PayPal as our payment processor; however, a PayPal account is not required. You may use your credit card, electronic debit or your PayPal account (if you have one). Just click on the Proceed to Checkout button in the shopping cart. PayPal handles all payment details in a very secure environment-we never see your credit card information. Charges from us will appear on your credit card statement as "PAYPAL *DALYNDEVELO"
If you prefer, we also accept checks but this may delay delivery of your website for a few days while your check clears.
IMPORTANT: Before you initiate an on-line payment, please call us to discuss your project so we can have a "meeting of the minds" with respect to styles, delivery date etc.

Other changes you may require are quoted individually. It is very cost effective to make as many changes as you can at one time. We want to keep your maintenance costs as low as possible.
We want to minimize your maintenance costs. If you have a large number of changes, we will quote you a single price for everything. |
If you have some knowlege and the proper software programs, you can maintain your own website. We use the Adobe Creative Suite 3 programs to develop and maintain your website. The website itself is developed and maintained using Dreamweaver CS3, Photoshop CS3 and Flash CS3 where needed.
Please keep in mind if you or someone else modifies your website, there may be additional charges to the above if you subsequently ask us to make some changes.
Website Full Custom Development
If you have more complex needs or want some special features, we can develop a webiste from scratch (a more expensive path) or take any of the available styles and uniquely customize them to your situation. This could include adding completely new pages, rearranging menus, altering locations of page images and text etc.
Feel free to contact us to discuss your custom needs. If you prefer, please complete our custom quote form. We respond promptly to all inquiries.
We do require a deposit to begin work on a full custom project. Once we have discussed your project and have agreed on the scope of work and the development fee, you may send us the initial deposit right here.

Image and Content Services
Bringing your website to life requires more than just development of the technical part of the website. Your images must be correctly sized and optimized for presentation of on the web. Image optimization is the process reducing the size of each image and balancing that against the quality of the image displayed. If you do not have electronic images of your work, we can scan photographs or slides of you work.
If you don't have the time or interest to write the text for your website we have copy writers available.

Scan photograph for inclusion in your website
We are happy to provide this service but you will have a better quality image if you capture it directly with a digital camera. |

Create custom collage using images of your work.
You must provide digital image files for us to work with and a detailed description of how the collage should appear.

Create printable/downloadable sales brochure
You must provide digital image files and the basic descriptive text and other information (i.e. contact info) in electronic form. The result is a PDF file that is readily downloaded by nearly all computer users and can be sent directly to a commercial printing company if desired. We recommend you use www.overnightprint.com for this service. |

Search Engine Optimization
This is an important area if you want your website to appear in the list when someone searches, for example, Desert Landscape Artist in Google, Yahoo, Dogpile or many of the other search programs. We include the most common technical design features that search engines look for at no charge. Also, we will make the initial submission to Google, Yahoo and MSN for you.
