We Almost Guarantee:

Your final web site will be bigger and more complex than you originally imagined.
Not because the web development team talked you into things you don't need, but because as you start to put your thoughts on paper and get excited about your site, you'll be saying to yourself, "I could do this, and that, and this!" And as you watch it being built, you'll be saying, "Can we do this, and that, and this?"

Your web site will take longer to complete than you think.
Not because your designer runs over the deadline, but because web design simply takes a long time. It is complex, creative, frustrating, and exciting to build great sites, and a much more time-consuming process than print design because of the huge number of variables that the team must work around. One of those variables is you, The Client.

Your web site will cost a lot more than you originally planned.
Not because your development team decides to charge you more, but because a good site is always more expensive than people think, especially if there are special features to be implemented, such as animation, ecommerce, forms, interactivity, database integration, etc. And it will automatically get more expensive as you add all those new ideas you hadn't thought of until it was in the process of being designed and built.
