From initial discovery meeting to final website launch you are a key member of our team.
Some companies will get you to sign a contract and you will never hear from them again until the website is launched.
Silver City Web Services will keep you involved in the process from initial discovery to website launch. The following is the process that we go through with every website.

- Content: What kind of content will be included on the website? This may include text, images, videos, etc..
- Features: What features are necessary for the website? This may include a contact form, search function, social media integration, etc.
- The overall “look and feel”: What kind of atmosphere do you want to create with the website? This will be determined by the colors, fonts, and other design elements you choose.
- Wireframe
