Photo Enhancement and Resizing
Any photos you want to use on your website will receive individual care to enhance, crop and resize each photo to the appropriate size so your pages will not take too long to view by your customers. Small photos are often linked to a larger version so your customers can view the photo details more easily.

Emails Scrambled for Spamming Protection
Any email link listed on your website pages will be scrambled in the code to help protect you from spammers who use atomated computers to search for email addresses on website pages. Thus, your actual email will not appear on the website page, just a scrambled link so that interested persons may click on the "Email Us" link that will open their email on their computer and they can then email you their questions or comments.

Custom Favicon Design
Custom favicon design and posting is part of our service to you when we
design your website. What is a favicon you ask? From Wikipedia,
"A favicon (short for 'favorites icon'), also known as a website
icon, page icon or urlicon, is an icon associated with a particular
website or webpage. A web designer can create such icons in
several ways and many recent web browsers can then make use
of them. Browsers that support them may display them in the
browser's URL bar, next to the site's name in lists of bookmarks,
and next to the page's title in a tabbed document interface.
Some operating systems, like Windows, will also often use the favicon
for Internet shortcuts to sites placed on the desktop or in
other directories."

View Your Website Progress
Your website will temporarily be posted on the Internet under our own
website so you can view the progress and let us know what you
like or do not like. We will send you the link via your email.
When your website is like you want it to be, we will then post
it to your domain name.

How Long Will All This Take?
The time it takes to complete a website from start to finish depends upon various factors: the complexity of the site requirements and programming, whether or not site copy and/or photos are being provided or if we are expected to do those, whether there is an available logo to build a design around or are we developing a site from scratch, will we need to wait a new logo to be designed, will we be designing a new logo, how soon the needed materials are made available to us, the timeliness of responses to questions we have, etc. On average, Saturn delivers small sites within a month, basic sites in four to six weeks, intermediate sites in six to eight weeks, and technical sites in 10 to 12 weeks.

Website URL Submissions to
50 Search Engines
As part of our website design, when your website is complete and approved
by you and posted to your domain, we will submit your website
URL to about 50 of the top search engines so your new website
will be easily found. Because so many other search enginces use the top search engines to optain their own listings, this amounts to our submitting your website to literally hundreds of search engines at no extra charge to you.

for you to let us know about any content corrections or changes that need to
