Websites

What will I need for a website?

You’ll need a domain name and a web space host.

You’ll need to know what colors you want the website to be. 

You need to know what font you’d like for headings and for paragraphs. 

You’ll need all the pictures and or videos you want on the website. 

You’ll need to know what you want to say to your viewers (content). 

You’ll need a list of the pages you want and what each will do. (gallery of pictures, or store, or registration for your courses, etc)

Login information for the website host and domain.

Content for each page, text as well as any pictures.

How do you want the pictures displayed if you have a particular idea?

What feel do you want for the page, elegant, stylish, homey, nature, tech, paw prints, etc.

We will gladly make custom graphics for your page, though it will be an additional fee for the time it takes to do so. 

We will gladly edit your videos to your liking for an additional fee if it takes longer than 30 minutes. 

We can recommend some people that can assist with this. Or we can give you tips on how to achieve this on your own. 

We can design a logo for you, or recommend someone else if your style is not one in my wheelhouse.

You’ll need pictures of your products, descriptions of each product, prices for each product, keywords for each product, the shipping carriers you’ll use, and flat-rate shipping rates if you’ll be using that.  

Yes, we can help if it doesn’t violate your contract with your existing web design team. 

Yes, we can help. We can discuss what you’d like to do and how I can accomplish it. It may be minor edits and tweaks, or an entire rebuild; it all depends on your needs.

We’ll provide a detailed project timeline based on your requirements, ensuring transparency and efficient progress. Our goal is to deliver a stunning and functional website within a timeframe that aligns with your expectations.

We do offer hourly updates for your websites. 

We’re thrilled to partner with you in laying a strong foundation for your website by identifying the essential pages. We’re committed to helping you create a clear and effective online presence that drives results.

We’re excited to focus on what we do best—designing and building you a fantastic website! To ensure you have complete control over your online presence, we recommend securing a domain name that perfectly reflects your brand (like coates-design.com). We’re happy to provide suggestions for reliable hosting companies to suit your needs. Setting up your domain and hosting beforehand allows us to dive right into the creative process. While we don’t handle the billing for these services, we’re here to guide you through the setup, making it a smooth and straightforward experience.

Yes, I do. The site you’re viewing right now is a WordPress site. I have created websites on every platform and recommend some more than others depending on your page’s needs. 

We will gladly edit videos for your page, but there is an additional fee for the time it takes to do so. 

Logo

I need a logo. Can you help?

Yes, if it’s in my wheelhouse of styles. If it’s not, I can recommend someone who can help you. 
I work on realistic drawings and signature logos. 

Yes, I can recolor your logo in any desired color you wish. 

Yes, indeed! We’re happy to assure you that the logos we design are created with complete commercial freedom in mind. You’ll have the full right to use your logo in any way you choose, without limitations.

Grooming Salon Operating Manual

What is an Operating Manual

An Operating Manual is a written set of processes for everything in your salon, from how to check in a pet to what needs to be done before opening, closing, and in between pet grooms. 

Every salon should have an Operating Manual to ensure a single, standardized set of procedures for everything. This helps when you are not available to answer questions because you’re on vacation, have a day off, are traveling to a trade show, or are simply busy grooming a pet. 

It can be as detailed as you desire. The Operating Manual for my salon covered every process in the entire salon, from how to clean the tub in between pets to how to make a new gallon of disinfectant. 

Grooming Salon Sanitation Manual

What is a Sanitation Manual?

A Sanitation Manual covers how to clean, disinfect, and sanitize everything in your salon. This will ensure that anyone cleaning (whether a hired cleaning company or staff) knows precisely how to do it properly.

Knowing proper sanitation protocols isn’t something most people innately know. Most people are used to cleaning their homes, but don’t need to worry about zoonotic contaminants that salons deal with. 

Miscellaneous Questions

What is branded content?

Branded content is something you may want to include with your products, such as care and assembly/use instructions.

Yes, we can either design them for you, and deliver a print worthy PDF, or we can also print and cut them for you depending upon your needs.
