Cherry Blossoms Website Development
Proposal presented by: Innovative Marketing SA®
Cherry Blossoms Website Proposal
Domain: https://cherryblossomstore.co.za/
Software: WordPress
Website Revamp
We would 100% agree that a fresh new site is the best way forward, as unfortunately there are no quick miracle fixes that can give you what you expect from your website, unfortunately.
In this proposal, you’ll find specific details of how we can create a website that achieves your goals as per the brief supplied.
Our breakdown is based on all content (such as wording for the various sections) and beautiful high res images being supplied by yourself (however, the media site, should be sufficient, unless there are specific images that you would like to use). Should you require a photographer for images (original images are always better than stock images) or a copywriter to update the content, this can be arranged at an additional fee.
You already own the domain https://cherryblossomstore.co.za/. You can either keep your package with your current host, alternatively, you can move from your current host to our hosting server (with the same domain) and we can manage your hosting + website. This is highly suggested, as if you choose to partner with us as your web developing team and we host the site, we are able to keep the site and plugins up-to-date. We also follow all government policies such as the recent POPIA ACT and the site’s terms of use would be updated accordingly. Should you encounter any email issues, you also contact us directly, and not a call centre. So everything web-related is kept in one neat little package, and you have one point of contact.
We have the pleasure of detailing what we have researched and the options we propose below:
Project Requirements
The requirements provided for the website are - CLIENT OBJECTIVES Short term goal: Social media currently working very well. Medium-term goal: mailing list people can subscribe to (unsure if you are mailing your database?) Long term goal: Updated e-commerce platform to sell products.
WEBSITE CONTENT INSERTION
We will add the website content as per the current website / or updated text which is to be supplied by yourself.
IMAGE SOURCING
Source generic images to enhance the goals of the website and appeal to the target audience. Any specific image requirements may incur additional fees or must be supplied by yourself (e.g. images of specific products or toys).
RESPONSIVENESS
We will make sure that the website looks good at all common screen sizes. Each view may not be identical but will be tweaked to enhance the appearance of the website from that viewpoint.
SPEED OPTIMISATION
We will ensure that the website is developed for optimal speed and loading time, this includes the optimisation of all supplied images and graphics.
SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION
We will make sure that your website conforms to all SEO standards and provide basic initial on-page SEO.
ANALYTICS AND VERIFICATIONS
We will connect the site to google analytics and add any other required verifications on launch. Please note that any verifications other than google analytics need to be supplied before launch. Verifications after launch may incur additional fees.
DEVELOPMENT TWEAKS FOR 30 DAYS FROM SIGN – OFF
We will continue to provide support, updates and tweaks to the website for up to 30 days post-launch.
