Where Do You Look for Quality Seattle Web Design?
Posted by Rory Martin in Web Design and Development on October 23, 2013
While there are plenty of web designers out there, many people simply have no idea how to find them, and going by the first page of results on Google tells you nothing about who is trustworthy, good, or worth the money. Others have no idea where to even look for web design services outside of the newspaper, Craigslist, or hiring an in-house design team. The truth is that web designers are everywhere, and usually the biggest challenge is not finding them, but finding a good one. Here are a couple of tips to help you on your search for quality Seattle web design companies.
The Best companies Have Their Own Sites
While you can find a web designer on Craigslist, in the newspaper, or even on eBay, you probably want to skip it. Many web design companies do advertise via online hiring sites, but all of the good ones have their own site. If they have a site then you can visit it, see the website, and see what they can do. Most web designers use their website as a working portfolio so it’s a good way to get a first impression of their work as well as their quality. If you don’t like the designer’s website, you might not like their work either. Of course, you should always look at available samples before making a decision.
In Your City
While you can look for web designers anywhere, or even hire out of Zimbabwe, the best web designers are those you can talk to, get a hold of easily, and maybe even sit down in a face to face chat with. For that reason, most people are happier looking for local web designers, right here in Seattle, rather than going to another city. If you’re worried about talent and quality, don’t be. Seattle has one of the best tech markets in the world, and therefore some of the best and most talented designers.
Tips for Getting the Best
Consider looking for more than one web designer, and then looking through their work to see which one you like best. Once you find a designer you like, you can start talking with them about your project to get quotes, timeframes, and other details. Many web designers can work with you from the ground up to brainstorm, design, create, and launch your website, and usually this is the best idea if you don’t’ already have a developer on board. Many designers will have online reviews that you can use to sort quality and average customer satisfaction as well, although you should do your own research rather than simply relying on what the internet says.
Choosing your designer is important, because who you pick will influence the final look and feel of your website. Just make sure you like their previous work, and that you like working with them, in order to get results you are happy with. For actually locating local web designers, you can try Google Businesses, an online equivalent to the Yellow Pages. Remember that you’re looking for a website, good reviews, and quality sample designs.
Seattle Social Media Tips – Integrating Earned Media To Increase Revenue
Posted by Rory Martin in Search Engine Marketing, Social Media Marketing on October 15, 2013
Social media is already recognized as a driving force behind ecommerce and brick and mortar sales, but some areas are more efficient than others. While advertised media has been the driving force behind social for some time, experts are now pointing to the growing field of earned media, which earns more revenue and offers more social interaction than any amount of paid media. So what is earned media and how can you get it to work for you?
Earned Media
Earned media is quite simply media that is earned through promotional effort rather than advertising. The concept is nothing more than idea that earned traffic is earned rather than paid for, and is usually gotten through promotions such as giveaways and incentives. For example, a restaurant offering a discount coupon code to Facebook fans is more likely to get actual sales from their Facebook, and an ecommerce store offering a free $50 coupon to a random fan who attends their tweet party gains exposure, and fans.
As an example, eBay frequently promotes their ‘Green’ section on Twitter by holding a Twitter party to talk about green products. Fans have to tag the eBay Green Team and hashtag them and follow them, and then each person who tweets at them is automatically entered into an hourly drawing for a gift certificate for as long as the event lasts. The result is usually around ten thousand generated tweets that all mention and tag the Twitter, and many of which link specific products. While it doesn’t always generate direct sales, it does generate a great deal of new content, interaction, and more exposure.
In another example, the popular fashion brand White House Black Market holds competitions on Instagram for posting photos of women wearing their clothes, tagging them, and sharing on Facebook and Twitter. The result is a huge library of women wearing their clothes, which ups promotion, increases interaction, and helps make sales because consumer photos are similar to consumer recommendations in that they drive sales, and all for the cost of a $2,500 gift certificate to the store. While a little too much of an investment for smaller businesses, it generated thousands in revenue for White House Black Market as well as numerous followers on Instragam and Facebook.
Integrating Earned Media Into Your Social Strategies
Integrating earned media into your strategy can be intimidating at first, especially if you don’t have a huge fan base. Offering smaller giveaways, deals, or incentives to customers such as $5 credit on your fifth visit, coupons, or discounts, can help to build your customer base by increasing awareness. Offering free samples and even gift certificates to influential bloggers such as through Klout Perks can help you to increase awareness and get good reviews and more buzz about your business.
Essentially earned media isn’t free, but it does net you more interested and engaged consumers who are more likely to make sales. The most common strategy is to offer an incentive in exchange for a like or follow, which you can then use to make a sale.
What Google’s Hummingbird Algorithm Means for Your Seattle SEO
Posted by Rory Martin in Search Engine Optimization on October 9, 2013
Google’s latest update, Hummingbird, was announced on the 26th of September after already running for a few months. Hummingbird is a new search algorithm and is expected to affect some 90% of search, much of which has already happened. Unlike previous search algorithms Panda and Penguin which were updates to Google’s algorithm, Hummingbird is actually a completely new algorithm, making it Google’s biggest change in 3 years.
What is Hummingbird?
Hummingbird is quite simply the newest search algorithm from Google and is quite similar to the previous algorithm but with a few major changes. The biggest change is that most keywords are now geared towards semantic long tail search, meaning that questions and phrases now matter more than single word keywords. Google will also be paying attention to other statics like traffic, bounce rate, and time spent on the page rather than just your keywords. Essentially, Google is getting smarter, and Hummingbird is their smartest algorithm yet. Hummingbird is mobile optimized and designed to turn up the highest quality results as quickly as possible.
• Uses semantic or ‘speaking’ keywords
• Uses PR (Page Rank)
• Less Emphasis on Individual Keywords
• More Emphasis on Social Signals and Activity
• More Emphasis on Quality
• All Search is Now Secure
Earlier this month we talked about Google’s vanishing keyword data, which was actually the first sign of Hummingbird. Secure search means no more keyword data in Google Analytics, which also means changes.
Because most users are looking for answers to questions, Hummingbird is also moving towards an ‘answers’ rather than ‘results’ type search. As a result, titles with “How, why, and whom’ could be slightly more prioritized for future search. Website owners can also expect to see niche sites rising in the SERPS as they tend to have more specialized content on specific topics.
How it Affects your Seattle SEO
The Hummingbird algorithm affects your site in two different ways depending on whether or not you already had good SEO policies. If your SEO is good and you’re still ranking well then you can most likely just keep up what you’re doing, make sure all of your keywords are semantic, and if necessary update any articles or pages that aren’t semantic. Most of the SERPS (Search Engine Results Pages) have already changed so you can already see where you are. If you’re losing traffic, your domain authority dropped, or your ranking pages are showing up lower then you can blame Hummingbird.
If you have lost traffic because of Hummingbird, your best bet is to rework your content with quality and work on making your keywords more semantic. This means natural, flowing keywords that make sense when spoken aloud. Typically if your content is mostly aimed towards quality rather than SEO, then you don’t’ really have to worry about it too much.
Essentially Hummingbird integrates natural spoken search to make room for new search methods such as mobile and voice command search. If you want to learn more about it, consider contacting your local Seattle SEO expert to talk about your specific site or problem.
Seattle Web Development Tips: Planning Web Content for Your Consumers
Posted by Rory Martin in Web Design and Development on October 1, 2013
Web Design is a Multi-Step process that takes a lot of work from every member of the team or party, but one thing that is often easy to overlook is that the end result is aimed not at the person paying for the site, but at their customers. While this is easy to forget in the hustle of trying to make something that is appealing to you, it’s important to remember that customers come first, even with web content. So, how do you plan and design for your users rather than yourself?
Listen to Your Design Team
First and foremost, you probably hired your web developers because they’re experts, so, listen to them. Chances are that your web developers have designed a site or two and know what’s successful and what’s not. If you’re choosing a full service web developer like Rory Martin that also offers extras like social and marketing then they have an even better idea of what goes over well with consumers. When in doubt, listen to your developers, unless you absolutely hate the idea.
Take a Look at Your Competitors
While you don’t want your site to look anything like the competition, you do want to know what factors they have that make the site appealing to customers. Consider checking the layout, any apps, social integrating, blogging, or whatever else happens to be on the site to see what they do to make it more interactive and user friendly. Just remember that you don’t want to steal any ideas because you still want your site to be unique.
Consider Asking
If you already have a social site then you could actually get some great ideas by putting up a poll. Ask your consumers what features they would like to see, what is an absolute must, or even what features they hate about websites. Their answers might give you some great insight on what to do and what not to do on your site. If you don’t already have a fanbase don’t worry as your web developers have most likely already been through this a time or two with their own consumers.
Think Like a Consumer
Last but not least, if you want to make sure your web content goes over well with your users then you have to try to think like one. Decide which features you would like to see if you were buying your products or services, and if you already have a demo of the site, try it out without thinking of it as yours. Most people want a fast, easy to navigate site that offers the bare minimum of functions in order to work without being overly slow or confusing. Your exact demographic may want something different so try to think like a consumer to make a website for yours.
At the end of the day you want to aim for usability so keep that in mind when making plans for your website. While it is still important that you like your website, it is more important that your customers like your website, because they make you money.
What Google’s Vanishing Keyword Data Means for Seattle SEO
Posted by Rory Martin in Search Engine Optimization on September 24, 2013
Many business owners and SEOs have begun to notice a shift in Google’s analytics keyword reporting, but unfortunately, it’s only just beginning. Many keywords are beginning to show as ‘not available’ due to Google’s secure search blocking the bots that collect the data. Keyword data, or the exact keyword that shows how a visitor found your site, is used by many people for optimizing and finding keywords that work, and even for turning the best keywords into PPC campaigns. Unfortunately for marketers and business owners everywhere, that is about to change, because Google isn’t planning on integrating any other options. How does Google’s vanishing keyword data affect your Seattle SEO? Keep reading to find out.
Vanishing Data
Over the past year, most people who use Google Analytics have noticed that more and more keywords were vanishing. These keywords typically show up as ‘not available’ rather than listing the searched keyword, meaning that users cannot turn the data into campaigns or optimized pages. While Matt Cutts claimed that the new secure search would not affect more than ‘single digits’ of search results in 2011,studies now show that some niches are affected a great deal more. In fact, BrightEdge recently released a study on Search Engine Watch detailing that the highest affected industry (Technology) was affected 56%. Essentially, more than half of the keywords in that sector show up as not available.
One website we used to test this theory received 3,125 search hits during the test period. Of those hits, 1,900 of them were ‘keyword not provided’. Another website, in the SEO sector, literally did not have any keyword data, with every hit showing up as ‘not provided’. The last website tested received a modest 500, with 62% via search, but 199 of those keywords are ‘unavailable’ meaning that some 60% of searched keywords aren’t showing up.
What it Means for Seattle SEO
While not seeing your keyword data is going to have some impact on your campaigns, you can minimize the effect by paying attention to your URL hits and what keywords you utilized for those URL’s. The biggest impact that the vanishing keyword data has on small businesses is that Google is no longer a reliable tool for finding your star keywords. While there are ways around anonymous search data, you should probably start thinking around your keywords, not trying to dig them back up. SEO experts around the globe agree that keywords are becoming less and less important for most SEO, although it still holds a big placeholder in PPC and other marketing campaigns.
Adjusting your campaigns to focus on business impact including revenue, conversion, and traffic, is more likely to hold as a stable long term marketing campaign for Google’s future policies. While keywords aren’t dead, they are playing a much smaller part in future SEO.
While secure search is reducing the amount of keyword data available, it is also forcing more business owners to think in terms of long term results, rather than the short term of optimizing a page for keywords. All in all, it’s a big change, but it could be a good one for the future of Seattle SEO.
Denied Healthcare on His Deathbed – One Family’s Struggle with Cancer
Posted by Rory Martin in News on September 20, 2013
For Rico McPherson and his small family, life had always been about giving, but on August 7th of 2013, they were reminded too harshly that life does not always turn out how it should. Rico was diagnosed with stage four cancer of the liver on August 7th, and then denied healthcare because of preexisting conditions. Rico who spent his life donating his time and skills while expecting nothing in return, was told that because he already had diabetes and an artificial heart valve, he did not qualify for health coverage.
Rico studied to be a hairdresser and quickly turned his chosen career to the benefit of his community. He spent a year fitting and making wigs for cancer patients in the Oncology department of the UW Medical Hospital before moving on to volunteer at the Bailey Boushay House, a local charity dedicated to helping Aids/HIV patients. There, Rico volunteered one to two times per week for five years, cutting hair, bed-washing hair for sick patients, and providing comfort and entertainment whenever possible.
Later, when Rico pursued his dream of opening his own salon, he continued his dedication to helping others. Rico put together numerous events to raise money for, and provide for the needy. Ongoing ‘First Time Friday’s’ offered $20 haircuts to anyone who walked through the door, with the proceeds going to local charities. Rico would occasionally close the doors of his salon to the public, instead inviting local shelters to bring struggling adults in for days of pampering and care, where beauticians would treat their guests like five star clientele, offering makeovers, haircuts, manicures, facials, and even styling lessons. Those men and women, who were admitted free of charge, were given a friendly smile, and a package including shampoo, conditioner, and cosmetics to take home.
As a family, Rico, his wife, and their young son, also gave back to the community. Their holidays were filled with not just gifts for family members, but care packages, food, and haircuts for families in shelters, and the many people still living on the streets of Seattle.
Rico was diagnosed with cancer on August 7th, but quickly found that not all souls were as giving as his own. With an estimated 3-6 months to live without treatment, and 6-12 months with treatment, his situation was critical. Rico’s small insurance provider, Realtors Core Beachstreet would only cover a scant $75 for a $3,000 CAT scan, with similar ‘coverage’ offered for emergency room visits, hospital stays, weekly visits to the SCCA, and ICU stays. The family attempted to obtain health insurance from many insurance companies including Blue Cross and Group Health but was denied coverage, the grounds, nothing more than those of his pre-existing conditions that had prevented him from getting most insurance coverage in the past.
Rico was again denied aid when he approached the Social Security office. When, not qualifying for Medicare or Medicaid, Rico went to DSHS and UW Medical Assistance, he was again denied the help he needed. After applying to every company in the area and with Obama Care not going into effect until January 2014, Rico and his family were left without hope, having been turned down at every turn.
On August 20th, the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance offered 100% coverage for the chemotherapy drug, Nexavar, which Rico needed. While a Godsend to the family, the drugs were started a full week after the doctor in residence, Dr. Bill Harris, had recommended and a week later, Rico’s health took a turn for the worse, resulting in a nearly three week stay at the UW Medical Hospital. There, Dr. Harris deemed that his cancer had now progressed too far for chemotherapy to prolong his life, and ended the treatments, giving Rico just three weeks to live.
Rico is now at home, utilizing Hospice care as a more affordable alternative for the medical attention he needs, most of which is not covered by his insurance. His wife has taken a leave of absence from her job in order to spend time with her husband of thirteen years, and care for him on his deathbed. Now, his only worry is that his wife and ten year old son will soon have to face the financial burden of his illness alone. Denied healthcare, Rico has now resorted to pleading for aid, in the hopes that his family will not be financially destitute after his death. With his diabetes and artificial heart value, Rico has been denied life insurance at every attempt since the 1970s.
He, and his family, are accepting donations on Go Fund Me, where friends, family, and caring strangers have already begun to band together and offer aid to this family in need. Help Rico and his family spend their last days in peace, love, hope and faith by making a donation today. http://www.gofundme.com/teammcpherson
Seattle Web Development: Why Your Website Might Not Be Converting Your Traffic
Posted by Rory Martin in Search Engine Optimization, Web Design and Development on September 17, 2013
As a Seattle business owner, your website can expose your products and services to any of the 1.97 million people in King County. Unfortunately for you, if your website isn’t optimized for search, for conversion, and for sales, you won’t be making any money off of it. Even if you have a relatively large number of hits each month, you still might not be making any money. Why? Because your website doesn’t convert.
While there are millions of websites competing with yours, the majority of them are less than optimal. You however can take the steps, or hire a Seattle web development team, to help you create a high performance website that converts your traffic into sales. Here are a few of the reasons your website might not be converting your traffic into sales.
Incorrect Optimization
One of the main reasons that your website might be getting traffic and not converting is that you’re using the wrong keywords. Take a look at your keyword optimization and consider the following questions:
-
Are these uniquely related to my business
-
What Else would someone be searching for with these keywords
-
Would someone looking for my products/services look for these keywords?
While not precisely a web development issue, incorrectly optimizing your website can mean that you get a great deal of traffic that isn’t necessarily looking for your business. Remember that a large number of visitors who leave your site immediately raises your bounce rate, and websites with a very high bounce rate are usually dropped to the bottom of Google search.
No Content Layout
If your content is a jumbled mess then your visitors might be confused. Consider whether or not you can land on a page and then clearly and easily navigate your way to where you can purchase what you’re looking for. No? Then your customers can’t either. Content planning is an important part of web design and if you haven’t carefully mapped out where your content is on your site, then you need to think again.
No or Poor Landing Pages
One of the best ways to sell products or services is to create a landing page. If you don’t know what this is, then it is essentially a web page designed specifically to introduce your visitors to your product and then make a sale. The whole point is to make a sale, without being spammy or overly salesy. Your landing pages should be properly keyword optimized and should include links
Your Site is Too Slow
While you do want plenty of information and content on your site, you don’t want to add so much information that it slows your site down. The average person will actually leave a website if it takes longer than 4 seconds to load, so you have to make sure your site loads quickly. Seattle web developers suggest that your optimal load time is at 1.5 or less seconds.
If you want your website to convert your traffic into sales then you have to carefully plan your content. Social media should be easily accessible so that visitors can check out your pages for more information, landing pages should easily point to sales pages and pages to get more information. The worst thing you can do for your sales is to write a convincing argument and then make it difficult for your customers to make a purchase.

New Shopping Demographics Make for Surprising Changes to Seattle Social Media Strategies
Posted by Rory Martin in Social Media Marketing on September 10, 2013
For the better part of the last century, women have dominated shopping. Whether online, or via brick and mortar stores, women are famous for loving to shop. Despite this, men are now overtaking them in spending, often surpassing women by as much as 25% per purchase on the internet. These numbers are not because men are shopping more often, but because they are making larger, more expensive purchases each time they buy. This surprising demographic has given rise to new, male-targeted advertisement campaigns, as well as the nearly unheard of male oriented shopping site, which is now combining perfectly with new content ecommerce solutions that are almost certain to make social more profitable for both sellers and the sites themselves.
Content Sites Turning Ecommerce
Part of the shift in the shopping demographic has been the steady lean towards social and content sites as a means of researching and finding products to buy. Content sites including Facebook, Pinterest, and millions of blogs provide shoppers with a wide range of information that they then use to make a purchase, and for most of those sites, integrating ecommerce to directly make sales is a logical next step. While major social sites like Pinterest, Myspace, and even Facebook are already making sales indirectly, many of them are talking about directly integrating stores and shopping interfaces. Some, like Facebook have already brought elements of this in with e-gift cards and flowers or chocolates that can be purchased to send as last minute presents. Others, like Tapiture, which has been online since 2012, integrates Pinterest like content functions with a fully working e-commerce setup geared towards men, so that users can actually buy items that they find interesting on the site. Pinterest competitors, Fancy, are also integrating this type of marketplace, so that instead of simply uploading a photo or ‘pinning’ the photo, the user can also include a price so that interested parties can buy it right on the site. Even MySpace, which is largely ignored by most social advertisers, has integrated ecommerce in the form of their Music Marketplace, where you can shop for songs from artists on the site.
What It Means for Businesses
Any business with products to sell should already be on social. Whether using Pinterest in the hopes of creating product awareness, or using Facebook and Twitter to create brand and image awareness, social sites can already greatly benefit most businesses. Now, with ecommerce and social integration, those same businesses can essentially increase profits by making their products or services easier to buy, because the interested party won’t have to leave their social site in order to make the purchase. This means changing strategies away from getting subscribers to click on links to getting subscribers to make a purchase. While a small change, it is an important one, as it means encouraging direct sales.
The rising demographic of male buyers should also be considered. For example, Tapiture and Fancy both have a largely male demographic, with nearly 100% on Tapiture and some 60% on Fancy, both of which are already actively making. In fact, Fancy is already making more than $200,000 in sales per week, while Tapiture has not yet disclosed their revenue so far, but is definitely doing something.
At the end of the day, just make sure your content is optimized for your demographic so that you make sales and shares. Even if the site hasn’t integrated shopping, you make shared products available for purchase, by including a relevant link. Social is becoming an integral part of ecommerce, and you should be prepared.
Seattle Web Development Tips – What Kind of Website Do You Need?
Posted by Rory Martin in Web Design and Development on September 3, 2013
If you’re planning on taking the plunge and hiring a Seattle web development team then you have to know what kind of website you need. While you might think that a website is a website, you couldn’t be more wrong. Most sites are grouped into two main categories but there are numerous subcategories that offer specialized features and options. The two main types of websites are static and content, and both have their pros and cons.
Static Websites
Static websites are the most basic type of website and are usually the best for someone who doesn’t want any thing to do with managing their content. These sites feature fixed information that is not intended to be updated. The website owner usually does not have any kind of access to the website and has to call the developer to make changes. These types of sites are great for businesses with a relatively small amount of data and either a brick and mortar shop or services that are only available offline.
Content Websites
Content websites are the most popular type of website built by Seattle web development teams and for good reason. They offer more customization, more control, and more updates than static sites. Content websites are usually accessible by the owner and can be updated at will to add blog posts, new products, or even to change the web content. These sites typically either use CMS or some form of ecommerce GUI to provide a fully functioning and easy to use control panel for the site.
CMS – CMS is the most popular type of website because it is easy to set up and easy to learn. CMS or Content Management System websites can be powered by open source solutions like WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal, or can include a custom built option. CMS is essentially a control panel that allows people who are not experienced with code to update their website.
E-Commerce – Many E-commerce websites actually use some form of CMS, but e-commerce is usually considered to be its own subcategory of content. E-commerce sites allow you to directly upload content through a CMS system or a GUI (Graphical User Interface) to directly upload products, accept sales, and payments. These are typically harder to set up than CMS sites, but eventually work the same way in that a person who is not experienced with code can easily add and change content.
In some cases you might need something that isn’t available under either of the two standard types of websites so rather than getting a content site or a fixed site you might want something unique. These types of sites make up about 5% of the web, which is still a lot of websites. Unique sites often need specific parameters and functions but are costly and time consuming to build.
Most businesses prefer to use a CMS site because it is faster to get set up, easier to maintain, and can be edited quickly. Large stores with online products require e-commerce websites that can be used to upload and sell products. Last but not least, professionals such as carpet cleaners or accountants tend to prefer fixed content sites that they can upload with contact information and then forget about. All three types are perfect for different types of business but you can probably use your personal needs to choose one.

Top Five Web Design & Development Mistakes You Can Avoid
Posted by Rory Martin in Web Design and Development on August 22, 2013
If you’re working on, or considering having someone build you a website, then you have to plan, consider what you want, and make decisions. Unfortunately, it can be all too easy to make a couple of mistakes that will dramatically affect your website. Once mistakes are made, they can be difficult to fix, so make sure you go at it right the first time. Here are five mistakes you don’t want to make with your Seattle web designer.
#1 Not Making Plans
Did you know that you should plan or decide what you want for your website before you hire someone? Decide on a goal that you want to achieve, and then hire your Seattle website designer. Chances are that you can also hire the same company to do your SEO and maybe even social, so that you can begin reaching your goals before you even launch your site. If you haven’t planned, none of that is possible.
#2 Making it Too Complicated
One major mistake that many people make is wanting a website that is too complex. Sure it may be nice to add feature after feature, but most people don’t want tons of features. They want a smooth and easy to use website that runs as quickly as possible. Modern website design is all about speed and clean lines. Consider those factors as more important than most of the features your site could have. Of course, your website can still do plenty of things; just remember not to try to cram it all on the same page. Remember your web designers are the experts and they know what looks good!
#3 Forgetting to Communicate
If you don’t talk to your website designer, they will have no idea what you want. Usually it is a good idea to sit down and talk about what you like and don’t like, or tell them about it as you go along. Communicating is the first step to getting exactly what you want so don’t be afraid to speak your mind. Remember to explain why you do or do not like something, so that your designers have something to go on.
#4 Copying Your Competition
One major mistake that many people make is trying to copy their competitors. Even though you are hiring Seattle website designers, your content should be very different from other Seattle websites. The idea is to stand out from the crowd, not get into a who-can-do-the-same-thing-better fight. While there are obviously some features that you will need, your goal it to point those out, and then find a way to make them stand out from your competitors. Once again, your web designer is the best place to look for ideas.
#5 Rushing Your Web Development
Many people looking for custom web design want their website to go up as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, while many web designers are fast, it’s never good to rush web development. If you absolutely must have your website up within one or two weeks, consider asking for a theme that you can launch until your custom design is finished. Why? Because a rushed website will never be as perfect as you, or the designer, wants it to be.
