At Hazel Stage we believe that web design is a process. Each website is designed based on an understanding of you and your business. Therefore, the first part of the process is getting to know you and what your business means to you.

An interview and questionaire are used to obtain information about your likes and dislikes, your must haves, might likes and can't stands. Your favorite websites are viewed and analyzed for possibilities.

Once there is a clear understanding of what you want the site to "feel" like and what you want it to do for you, design can begin.

Websites begin around $700 for a basic 3 page site with no interactivity or flash features. If you'd just like to have a presence on the web, this is a very affordable way to start. Costs increase based on size and complexity. Following are some of the effective features available on websites:
