Many photos can be purchased from stock photo companies. The website https://stock.adobe.com/ is a good place to start. The easiest way is to search the type of photo you would like then, copy and paste the "File #" into either an email or Word Document that you will send to [email protected]. Don’t worry if you don’t like all the pictures. We will crop and edit as needed. Some clients need professional photography done. We can provide this as an additional service or work with a photographer of your choice. Please select more pictures than you think you need, as we require flexibility for website design. Please start thinking about or creating some of the following items. A. About Us Statement (There should be great effort put into this as almost every potential customer looks at this page to evaluate your company.) Check your competitions sites and strive to do better. Even if you are a smaller company, dig deep to come up with as much as possible. We will help with the final draft. A Company Staff Picture is great for this page. B. Biographies – A detailed biography of all company owners, partners, and management, if there is little turn over, should be created. An individual photo should be included with each bio. We recommend the photo backgrounds to be consistent. A company group photo is an added plus for most businesses as it shows company size and help brand your building location. C. Content/Copy – This is the wording that is included on various pages on your site. If you have chosen to provide all the copy for the website, please begin development or include specific things you know you would like for us to generate if Page 8 | 9 [email protected] www.mercadeoconsulting.com Mercadeo 302-348-8977 21092 Laguna Drive, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971 Consulting

we are writing it for you. This includes descriptions of all products/services that you offer. The more detail, the better. If you have a photo or stock image that you would like to use along with particular text/copy, please indicate those as you send them over. D. LiveChat Software – Would you like to have on your website? This is a huge help to drive customers to your company. (additional fees apply)

These are just a few things to consider. We will discuss everything in much more depth as well as develop better operations along the way. The more you include and the more functionality you have on your site, the better it allows you to increase income and create new customers for your business! Please feel free to include any additional information in the space provided below. Our Intake Form is a document that is always evolving.
