Process Overview |

| The Size of Ecommerce |
| The
main factors that will drive international ECommerce growth over the
coming years will be the dramatic increase in the number of people
buying online, the increase in the size of online transactions, and
the acceptance of the Web as an important business vehicle, according
to the report. |
| The
Peppers and Rogers Group predicts that by 2010, an estimated 29 million
households in the US will be heavy users of business-to-consumer ECommerce.
This compares to just 6 million households in 1998. The report estimates
that between 10 and 24 percent of retail sales will be made directly
and delivered to the consumer. |
| As
the number of households making direct-to-consumer purchases via the
new media, the number of purchases made via the off-line media will
decrease. The report estimates that while 67 percent of US households
currently use off-line services, this will drop to 50 percent by 2010.
In the same time the number of households using online media to make
direct purchases will increase from 11 percent today, to 33 percent
in 2010. |
| The
study also found that the typical business-to-consumer shopper is
better educated and in a higher income bracket than other consumers.
Further, to effectively reach these consumes, businesses will need
to develop a one-to-one service, building a solid profile of the consumer
that can be applied across the various media. |

|
| We strive for excellence in everything that we do. We're committed to the concept that the Internet is a constantly evolving communications platform. As it continues to mature, traditional business models will have
to be adapted to include its growing importance as a vehicle for providing
services to customers, sales outlets, and opportunities for interaction. |
 |
| Some have heralded the demise of the printed word, but, to quote Mark Twain, "The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated." The printed word is still going strong and we expect a renaissance in reading and writing over the next several years. We're eager to help people present their stories in a professional, exciting format. |
 |
We work closely with our clients to help them maximize their investments
in these evolving mediums. For some businesses, that means starting
small with a "brochure" web site, then growing services
as their traffic and sales grow. For other businesses, it means developing
a web site that can compliment existing activities by lead generation,
customer support and follow-up sales. For authors, it means being part of their team as they work to move their visions into print.

| The key components of any web site are: |
1. Purpose and intended audience
2. Artistic design and consistency throughout the site
3. Page Content (Who, What, Where, Why, When, How Much)
4. Graphic Elements (Photos, Drawings, Navigation Buttons, Animations)
5. Contact Methods |
| Each web site design project we complete defines and establishes
these key components effectively to meet your needs. |
| In the typical hpdDesign website, the client provides
the site content and photos, with assistance from us in formatting
the content for its best possible presentation on the Internet. However,
we are able to provide a full range of professional services, including
product photographs, marketing plans and full content development. |
| All site designs include artistic design, installation of the web
pages on the selected host service, content formatting recommendations,
unique rollover button designs, image swaps, and outbound links as
requested. We also include the development of title, description and
keyword Meta tags. |
| All design fees are based on a process that includes client approval
at each stage of development. Excessive revision can result in added
development costs. |
As additional services, we can offer management of your web site
hosting, search engine submissions, web site optimization for search
engine indexing, database design, domain name search and registration,
reciprocal link generation programs, content development and other
web site elements. For more details, see the Design
