We actually did invent this wheel! Silvana.net has been professionally creating custom Web sites since 1996... that makes us pioneers in the field.

Silvana.Net will take you through the entire design/build process and work with you every step of the way explaining technical issues in everyday English with professionalism (and fun).

Here's a snapshot of the phases involved in building your own, custom Web site:

1. The No-Brainer...

A Free Consultation
Call (413) 585-0985 or email us. After a brief chat, we'll visit your place of business (or you can come to ours) and we'll develop a strategy together.

2. Nuts n Bolts...

Developing Requirements
Silvana.net will present a formal proposal thoroughly describing the site we intend to build and providing exact costs and scheduling details. We'll develop an outline of each site page (site architecture) and describe any interactivity or functionality discussed. This is time-consuming but valuable as it provides a roadmap of the work. No plan is a bad plan!

3. The Easy Part...

Domain Name & Web Hosting
You may need help securing a domain name (www.yoursite.com). We're here to help. You may also need a Web Host. We offer an excellent, state-of-the-art, affordable, and secure Website Hosting Plans.

4. Getting Artsy...

Site Design Mock-Ups
With the site plan or roadmap in hand, we'll create mock-up(s) for the site based on your input. The mock-ups are non-functioning graphical representations of what your site would look like online. Usually, there's one round of revisions with mock-ups. Take a look at a small sample of sites we've designed.

5. The Geek Comes Out...

Build out
With your materials in hand (photos, logos, copy, etc.) we build the site using HTML, CSS, Flash, PHP and other programming languages and development tools. Count on us to choose the proper technologies to get the job done right—on time and on budget!

6. Let 'Er Rip...

Testing and Publication
You'll review site pages as we build them and when you're satisfied with the finished product, we launch it! But that's not the end... We'll work with you to promote the site with search engines like Google (Search Engine Optimization). Or, we have Maintenance Packages available so you can easily just outsource your updating to us!
