Regarding:Contract Subscription for News and Views Website
Please note the attached Contract, as we had discussed today.
Look this over, and please sign it and mail the original back to me to sign and I will return a copy to you for your records. Include your set-up fee and any and all materials that you want for us to look at and use so that we can get started right away.
Some things that you may want to include are: previous advertising material, pictures, biographies of partners, news or magazine articles regarding your firm, brochures, etc. We strive to make each firm's website as individual as possible, anything that you can think of to add to your site would be welcomed. Keep in mind that you want to endear yourselves to your community as much as possible and become an information site for local business professionals regarding changes or practices in their community and to any financial information that would impact them directly. This will generate more traffic to your site and thus to your firm.
After we receive your information and start-up fee it usually takes 1 1/2 to 2 weeks (with a maximum of 3 weeks) for us to create a "construction site" for you to view changes and progress in the building of your site. When the construction site has been created I will call or fax you with the address to go to and then you have 3 weeks in which to make any changes or alterations and suggestions, so that we are creating something that represents your firm. After your approval of the site, the remainder (if it has not been completed) will be added to the site and if The Internic (holder of all domain names) has completed the move to our server, you will be up and running! The times cited in this paragraph are subject to some variations, this is just a guideline. Please feel free to call or e-mail at any time with changes or questions, we welcome them.
Let me know if I can help in any way. Also, please provide us with your choice of colors (your previous advertising individuals should have available to them your RGB values for certain colors: R=red; G=green; and B=blue value) and your contact at your ISP (local provider) so that we may establish your e-mail from the site.
I enjoyed talking with you, and again, thank you for your subscription. We are looking forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Paula Bellomy
