Franchise Web Development

Our web designers have the creative talent to appeal to your sense of style when designing your franchise web presence. The training and knowledge of current web development standards and practices will enhance your ability to turn your Franchise Program into reality!

If you presently have a website, then our web designers will develop additional pages devoted to the Franchising arm your of your business and add/link them to your present website. If you do not have a website, then our Signature Franchising website designers will create a complete Franchising website specifically for your franchise sales.

Domain Name Registration / Website Hosting

If needed, we will immediately secure your desired domain name (pending availability) and include the first year of service. The domain will be registered in your name with your information and you will be the only registrant contact on file.

If you require hosting services, we will provide top quality hosting services. Many of our clients host their websites with us and they have great server uptime, lots of features as well as good customer support.

Franchise Website Analysis

Based on the information you provided when requesting your website, we attempt to determine your needs, what you are expecting from your website, and try to get a feel for your industry and its position in Franchising. This is why it is important for you to be as detailed as possible.

We may have questions for you to help clarify certain issues and we will express those before starting on your project.

Web Home Page

We will provide three possible custom designed home page concepts for your project. In most cases, we will be able to provide these designs to you soon after your URL has been secured.

After you have reviewed the designs and decided which one you would like to use, we will continue to make modifications to the design until the final desired look is achieved. Once the final desired look is realized, we will create the interior page layout, convert the design to HTML, add programming, etc. During this process, you will have the opportunity to review progress. (See next item.)

In Progress Viewing

We establish a private directory for your new website on our testing server so that you may view the website development progress. In addition, your project manager will inform you via email when extensive updates to the site have been made so you can review the most recent progress.

Professional Stock Photography

All projects include use of professional stock photography images from our current library. If a client requires special photography, which we do not currently possess, an additional fee may apply. You will have the ability to furnish us with any proprietary photography or graphics the you wish to have placed on the website.

Web Design Project Begins

We like to begin as soon as possible. Upon receipt of your Franchise Development contract, our webmaster in charge of your project will email you to give you their direct contact information and possibly provide a list of items which will be needed from you over the course of development.

We will supply you a list of navigation links to choose from (such as home, about us, services, etc) and will put your product information on your site. We will be there to explain and assist you if necessary. In addition, you may also supply material such as company logo, personal photos, etc, if desired. If you have any guide sites (websites that you may have visited while online, that were interesting) you would like us to refer to when designing your site or if you have any preference as to colors, style, etc please offer that information as well. Ideally, all of the above information should be supplied as soon as possible,

Work will commence on your scheduled start date. The developer in charge of your project will contact you to confirm that we are getting started.

Design & Development

All website development programming/coding to run any special features/visitor interactivity on your website is completed and tested. Based upon your contract and the final design you selected, we create as many static or dynamic pages as needed to complete your site.

Navigation links or drop down menus, and rollover effects, if desired and contracted, are completed.
Creation of a site map page is done which includes easy one-click access to all pages of your site.
Incorporation of your logo, photos and text content is included in all projects. Custom logo design is available for an additional fee.
We always recommend at least one contact form for your visitor’s convenience. Using a contact form, a visitor may email you directly from your website without needing to open their email program. This is especially convenient if a visitor is not using their own computer when viewing your site.
Signature Franchising will place Meta Tags, Page Titles, Page Heading, Alt Image Tags, Link Text, and Page Body Text evaluation and adjustment where needed throughout the website.
Please Note: At no time can we guarantee when or where the search engines will place your website within their search results or directory.

Your website is tested on a variety of operating systems and browsers to insure proper display and functionality. Before the website is launched, a grammar and spell check is performed to insure there are no mistakes. A thorough check for misdirected links and missing files is performed just prior to as well as after the launch of the website.

Any email contact forms and/or programming features included in your project are tested to confirm they are functioning as required.
