How long does it take to build my website? Do I get to review my site prior to completion?

Answer: Once we understand your design parameters, we will then create a custom template or shell design of your web page. It takes 10 days for this initial design. It will be posted online as a demo for you to review. We'll discuss revisions, additions and modifications to the design at this point. Once the template design meets your approval, we then move on to the construction phase of the project. Your design template, which was initially created as a single image, is now converted into HTML code. It would then take 3-5 days to launch the completed site.
