Order Form

So, if we make your pages, apply for server space, upload to the server, register the pages with search engines, place ads, and edit graphics, what do YOU have to do?

  1. Fill out the order form below.
  2. Send a deposit so we can order your domain and begin working on the design.
  3. Gather your photos for the differing pages in the site.
  4. Compose a draft of the text that will be on each page of the site.
  5. Send the photos/information to us as you can. The best method is via e-mail (or by sending photos/disks/cd's to us), but we can record information as you dictate by phone.  That just takes a while!  We can also receive faxes when necessary. (Note: if you send a separate e-mail for each page or even each product/horse, it helps very much in preventing mix-ups while we organize site content)

ORDER FORM

This form has 4 sections:  

1) Personal Information
2) Domain name/web address info
3) Site appearance
4) Site pages

This information is kept secret between you and CR Equine Sites.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

Name

Farm or Business Name for the site

Street Address

City, State, Zip Code (or address, if not in USA)

Phone number

E-mail address

DOMAIN NAME

A domain name is a "yourname.com" address, like www.grullablue.com.   They add professionalism to your site, and are easy to remember. 

I already have a domain name, and just need it transferred (about $20).  Some web hosts will not release domain names.  I guess it's a control thing...they think they can keep you as a customer.  This is something we need to check into, because it might cause you to need to create a new web site address. 

New Domain Name Ideas

Keep them short, simple, and readable.

First choice of domain name (www.address.com) or web site address name that you don't already own:
One word, no spaces or unusual characters

Second choice of domain/site name, in case first is already taken
One word, no spaces or unusual characters

SITE APPEARANCE

You can choose the color scheme for your site, and if you know of graphics that you would like to have included, please refer us to a site where we can obtain them.  If you have seen a neat site that you would like to emulate, please give us that address.  If you know of a site offering graphics that are free or non-copyrighted, we might be able to use them.

Note:  these options are geared toward horse sites, as that is the majority of our business.  If your site is not equestrian related, please give us additional suggestions via e-mail or the comment box below.

Color Scheme (ex:  navy and red, earth tones, etc.)  Some people like to match a farm color scheme, and that is a great idea if you have one!

Site Layout

Visit this page for snapshot images of some of the web sites by CR Equine Sites. Note the variety of layouts when viewed from a distance. "Layout" refers to how text and images are placed on the page, as well as where the site graphics are located that decorate the site.

From the following layout styles, number your favorite with a 1, and your second favorite with a 2 (or go further if you want to). Judge only the layout, and not the site decorations or color schemes.

You may click here to view examples in a larger size. This link will open a new window, so you won't lose this form. Click any thumbnail image to enlarge it or open its site live so you can get a feel for the layout.

Rank
1=Favorite		 Example

Description
Left border style. A decoration goes down the left of the page for the entire page length. The rest of the page can be a plain color or a muted texture that won't interfere with the text color.
     
Table style. Table organization puts info into squares/rectangles on the page. Table styles are usually set to fit older monitor resolutions (which currently make up 30% of web users). Therefore, on newer computers, these will appear to take up a smaller portion of the screen. This site you are looking at (CR Equine Sites) is another example of a table setup.
     
Framed site. A framed site has decorations on the sides that never move or leave the screen. The content in the middle changes as links are clicked by the viewer. Click the image (left) or here to see a framed site live.
     
Other layout.  If you have seen other layouts that you like, please give us the web site addresses so we can get a feel for your preferences.
   
  No preference. If you don't have a preference at all, place a 1 in the box to the left.

Click any of the following that you LIKE.  Leave any you do not like blank.  If you have other ideas, please e-mail them to us, or put the idea in the comment box below.

 We will try to accommodate your tastes if we can:

Tooled leather graphics
Conchos, silver graphics
 "Bling," or jewels
 Southwest themed graphics
Cowhide graphics
Old west images
Nature (grasses, flowers, tree leaves, etc.)
Western rustic images (fencing, old buildings, etc.)
Midwestern images (red barns, large green fields, etc.)
Satin, rich look
Plain, solid background (like blue, or black) with NO border or pattern
Chromed lettering in page titles (large chrome/metal letters)
Light background, bold color accents (like www.grullablue.com) 
Rich colors, medium background with bold color accents
Soft colors (pastels, light colors)
Any equine images, in general
Multiple backgrounds (different background and buttons on each page), extra charge due to added design time, depending upon the number of pages

Other key ideas you have for graphics, backgrounds, colors, images, etc:

Web sites you really like that you want me to see to get a feeling for your color/layout/design preferences. This helps a LOT in the design process.

SITE PAGES

Which package most closely fits the size of the site you need? Additional pages can be added for a fee if needed.

Pony (one web page)

Rider (5 web pages)

Draft (20 web pages)

Click in any boxes for pages you want included in your web.  You can have as many pages as you want for additional fees if you need more than the package offers.

Note:  It is considered a bad idea to have a "portal" page, or a page that basically says "click here to enter" a web site.  If you want one, we'll make it.  But every article I've ever read says NO to portal pages because they require extra time and effort on the part of the site viewer to wait for it to load, only to find that they have to click AGAIN in order to see the site. Even worse, search engines are less likely to list sites with portal pages rather than a content-rich home page with text on it.

Portal Option 1: Portal page (An image plus "click here to enter") No charge for a simple one with existing graphic---you still can have 5 additional pages. Remember, this is not recommended if search engine ranking is important to your business.

Portal Option 2: Portal-type Home page, with a main photo plus links to main site pages. No charge for a simple one with existing graphic---you still can have 5 additional pages. Remember, this is not recommended if search engine ranking is important to your business.

Portal Option 3: Portal-type Home page, with Flash animation/movie (starting at $20) plus links to main site pages. Remember, this is not recommended if search engine ranking is important to your business.

Home page, normally with text about philosophies or program/business summary. We can add Flash animation to a home page for an extra fee if you would like.

Other pages you'd like included:

Links Pages

Click here to learn why Links pages are important in getting your site high ranking with search engines.

Links page, but only including links that you choose to add. The more links, the better likelihood you will have good search engine ranking down the road.  OR

Links page that you (customer) can edit/control. This will be through Bravenet.com (click here for an example), and has a $20 setup fee. Viewers will add their own links to your site, and you will just log in to Bravenet and approve appropriate links. We'll give you instructions.   Examples: Example 1  Example 2    OR

Links, including all CR Equine Sites customers with related links. Highly recommended for better search engine placement. Remove check mark if you want no links page or a page with only the links of your choosing.

Other key ideas for the site in general:

Think of all the "key words" that people might type into a search engine in order to find a site like yours.  Type those words/phrases here, separated by commas and spaces:

How did you find out about us? 

A search engine, like Google or MSN

Just by luck

From a customer that you made a web site for (who?) We want to thank them for the referral! :-)

From looking at a web site, though you don't know the site owners (what site?)

I can't remember

New! 
Avoid paying us to update your site...you can do it yourself!

If you host with us on our server, we can now configure your site so you can edit your own sale page.  This allows you to update prices, descriptions, and photos when you desire with no labor charge from us. 

I would like to be able to update my own sale page after its initial setup.  There is a one-time setup fee and software license fee for this service.  Click here for current pricing.

Other pages I would like to update: Five pages are included in the one-time setup fee mentioned above. Additional pages to be able to edit require a small setup fee (generally $10/per page) to configure so they are able to be edited by you from your computer.  List any other pages you want to update yourself here:
