Website Design
	What do I need to provide when starting a new web site design?
	First things first, you will need a domain name. If you haven't already registered your domain name we suggest taking a look at this site: www.godaddy.com. This site allows you to check if your choice for domain name has been taken or not, and if it hasn't, it allows you to buy it starting at $8.95 US / Year. Once that has been taken care of it is really a matter of letting us know what you want in your website. We generally suggest that you surf the net looking for sites that appeal to you and to let us know what things on these sites you like. By doing this it gives us an idea of the style that you like and makes it easier to design a site that fits your vision. We also appreciate getting input as to what colors you prefer and it is always great to have plenty of photos and/or artwork to build the site around. The last piece of the puzzle is the content for the website. Depending on your style you may need some or all of the following things : a bio, gallery pictures, sound clips, news articles, press clippings, an electronic press kit (high res photo, bio and press summary), tour dates, videos, album descriptions and website links. Collecting this material is almost always the most time consuming part of building a website so we highly suggest that you collect as much of this material together right away to avoid prolonging the creation process.
	How long does it take for Freedom to design a web site?
	The average time for designing and launching a new website is generally 4 to 6 weeks. Some larger sites may take longer, and some smaller sites we have developed from start to finish in as little as one week.
	Do I have any say in how the site will be designed?
	Of course, we wouldn't have it any other way. Your website is meant to reflect you and what you stand for so we welcome your ideas regarding the design process. However, we will point out where any ideas may hurt you from a marketing or functional perspective. We have built a reputation at Freedom for developing great looking sites that can also easily meet the users' needs. Understanding this is essential in the design of a site; during the creation process we will always advise you on what we think is best and why.
	Why is Freedom to Groove the better choice over other web design companies?
	Simple, we are musicians and artists ourselves. We bring together the perfect blend of technical know-how, artistic creativity, and knowledge of the music industry to build you the best possible website. We create specific tools and software applications tailored to musician's needs and most importantly we have years of experience behind us.
