Website creation and maintenance should be done at your convenience, not ours. The procedure is simple:
1. we meet with you to discuss objectives and a timetable for implementation
2. written quote is drafted and sent to you for approval
3. development is completed and tested for local functionality
4. files
are posted in a secure preview area and retested for online integrity
(your creative approval is required and any requested changes are also made during this step)
5. website is published live to your hosted server
SDT has built / maintained sites of all different sizes and types. Whatever your needs, we can accommodate them. We also feature a CMS application allowing website owners to update their own pages on demand from any Internet browser, along with a gallery script which gives them control over their own images. Please ask us about this user-friendly site editing technology.
Our custom-tailored production process is unique to the specific needs of each client, ensuring the highest level of customer service possible.
Remember that book you started writing but never finished? Or maybe you're already done, but don't have time (or money) for shopping it around to publishers either yourself or through an agent. As publishing technology changes, the retail market is changing too. You must now be prepared to offer your product not only in print, but also digitally to reach a burgeoning online audience. SDT can help meet the demands of distributing your book within this rapidly evolving online marketplace.
People often ask us: how can I get my book printed cost-effectively? The answer is simple: self-publishing. We offer assistance for any level of manuscript preparation, from raw draft to final submission form, and beyond. Our consulting services cover all aspects of publication:
manuscript - proofreading, editing & typesetting
prepress - formatting, revisions & final preparation
print attributes - cover & binding style, paper weight, ink type
cover art - design & layout
submission - POD provider, print-ready file submission
digital matter - ebook & similar online formats
We look forward to helping you reach your print / online publishing goals. Please inquire for details and a quote on your project.
These services include print and digital layout. Each is designated for its intended medium, but both adhere to our clean, uncluttered aesthetic: visually efficient, balanced use of content and whitespace.
