Things that can effect the time spent on a project:
- Revisions: Our approach is to do the initial layout on the home page and then show a few options to the customer. This way we can get some feedback on the layout before it is totally completed. It is much easier to revise a single page than an entire web site. Picking colors that match the existing logo's and marketing material and looks good on the Internet can be time consuming. However, getting this right is important so we want to take the time to get this right. We will do what the customer wants though.
- Graphics: This means sizing logos, designing icons, buttons, banners, etc. These can be time consuming. They can also detract from the page if there are too many. The number of graphics can greatly effect the design time.
- Typing: Same time by emailing any text or send a floppy disk. Than it can be pasted into the site in a few minutes.
