Gathering Your Website Wording

Text transfer can be easier primarily because website text documents/files are typically smaller in size compared to
additional website content comprised of pictures, videos, etc. New Perspective Design makes use of Google Drive in which you will have a content folder / Content request document that will have a ready-made website page structure in which you can simply add the information. See our Website Content Request Doc:

Transfer Larger Files
Larger file transfer would seem rather difficult to use, hence the most common file exchange platform being emailed restricts the common user from sending larger-sized files simultaneously. Although, New perspective Web Design’s Research and Development team has provided us with a list of FREE Secured Providers to deliver to our clients.

Image and Video Tips: We recommend sending the original copy or highest resolution you have of your photo(s)/video(s). This is to ensure that only the highest quality of images and photos are put on the website.

Please note in most cases users will gain access to a Google Drive folder structure to find their content documents, file structures, and folders to upload their images.  

3) Organizing Media (You do not have to do this) As we will provide you with a file structure on Google Drive for your website design. 
a. If you need us to put certain photos on certain pages: Name the photo and then put – Page Name. Example: Red Car – Home Page.jpg OR for specific areas Blue Car – Home Page Banner.jpg
