Are you looking to build a new website? Here are some questions you may want to ponder before diving in!

GVD specializes in static HTML sites. Such a website may include text, images, animations, and videos, but will not allow for user interactivity. GVD also partners with qualified programmers to create dynamic websites which can incorporate shopping carts for e-commerce, forms, databases and more.

The design schedule for websites proceeds in the following way.

  1. You begin by calling us at 406-546-9658. We'll get some preliminary information from you, then....
  2. We meet with you to gather more detailed information about you, your business, and goals for the website.
  3. We go to the drawing board and develop up to three designs to present to you for feedback.
  4. Upon your approval of a design, we build the site using our design together with the content, photos and graphics that you provide (e.g., your logo, photograph of you, photos of your work, etc.). You may also request GVD to assist in providing photos and developing graphics.
  5. If you have not already done so, you will sign up for a domain name/URL (such as www.mydomain.com) and a hosting service. GVD works with Bluehost, which provides a high-quality and affordable domain name registration and website hosting service.
  6. We will ask for your feedback during development of the site and may have you test any interactive aspects (like a shopping cart).
  7. Once the site is completed, we will ensure Search Engine Optimization and help you set up reciprocal links with comparable sites.
  8. Education will be provided if you will be updating the site yourself.
