Design involves creating the initial visual shape of the website. This process can include sketching a black and white version then adding a color palette. During this stage function is also taken under consideration.
Does your website need a tune up? It is recommended to update the a website in order to keep up with new trends and technologies. Re-designs can be visual and/or technical depending on the clients needs.
This is writing the code that renders the website on the browser and checking compatability across different size monitors and major browsers. It is also setting up data bases, hosting accounts, email, etc(if necessary).
Once the website is complete, any changes/additions made to it are considered part of the maintenace. Maintenace helps keep a website's audience up to date with any new information added.

Client Work
School & Concept Work
Logo Design
Rates vary for every website, they are dependent on the level of work needed. Some projects require more time and work than others, it all depends on the needs of the client. This is why is it important to be clear and specific so that I may give the best price possible.
A logo can say a lot about an entity, specially when you want to get noticed. I provide you with 4 black and white logos to choose from, then 3 color variations of the choosen logo for you to pick. Your logo is your trademark, it can be implemented on your website, business cards, email, and more.
Make it a one stop only, I'll design & print your business cards, pamphlets, flyers, invitations, etc. You are presented with 4 designs to pick from, then you get 3 samples on different paper. The price depends on the paper, design, and number of unit desired.
Once a website is completed any updates that are made to the site are considered part of maintenance. Depending on the purpose of the site, the frequency of changes will vary as well as the fees charged for those changes. Keeping a website updated helps bring and attract people to it.
You can purchase your domain and hosting with different companies, but most hosting companies include domain registration. These fees cover registration (ex. BittozaWebDesigns.com), storage, and the amount of time your site is online. Rates and features vary from company to company.
If you are wanting to open an online store, Bittoza Web Designs can set you up with a powerful online E-Commerce website. An E-Commerce website allows you to add items, set prices, shipping fees, track inventory, sales, get payed and much more.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) helps place your website on major search engines, making it more likely that a person will see it based on your web traffic. Analytics tracks the amount of users visting your site per day and month.
Once a client has communicated the details and purpose of their website. I design 3 layout versions of the website for them to choose. These layouts are editable and open to suggestions by the client. This helps the client get an idea of what the website will look like before any coding is done.
During development, the client is updated weekly. They will be able to view the website and how it is comming along. Minimal changes can be made during this phase. There maybe extra fees added if the changes surpass the agreed contract.
The client revises the website before it is placed on the World Wide Web. Any text errors or misspelling will be corrected at no extra cost. It is important to market your website so that it is known to people and thus your web traffic increases as so does your Search Engine listing.

About Me
Work Ethic
Education
Hello my name is Luis Martinez, I am a freelance web designer based in the Dallas Ft. Worth area. I have a passion for visual design, efficient functionality and communications. Web Design allows me to be creative when designing and developing a new project, this is why I love what I do.
There are 3 main components that make a website sucessful; functionality, visual appeal, and availability. This means it must be easy to use, clear and direct, and it is easy to find. A good balance of the 3 is the recipe for a powerful online entity; whether it is for a business, person, or idea.
One thing that I consider very important in my line of work is communication, keeping up with clients and their web needs. It is important to have an open line of communication between me an my clients. Client satisfaction is my number one goal, doing a good job helps my client which helps my portfolio, which helps me get more clients and thus it is a symbiotic relationship where one relies on the other.
It is my job to put all the facts on the table for you, this helps see a clear path. I am not a car sales man, I'm not going to pressure you into paying for something you don't need. My goal is for you to be satisfied and confident with your own decisions.
