done” - NICK BAXTER

WE INVESTED IN OUR OWN TECHNOLOGY &
PHILOSOPHY AND BECAME OUR OWN CLIENTS!
Because we saw the success
of our products and the power
of a well designed websites
firsthand, in 2005 we opened
our own studio Off the Map
Tattoo. In a short period
of time, Off The Map grew
to three thriving locations,
Easthampton MA, Grants Pass
OR, and Italy. We host over 90 national and international guests each year.
This success led us to produce the Paradise Tattoo Gathering and co-produce
the Paradise Artist Retreat and Worldwide Tattoo Conference in the US. Every
day we see the direct effects our work can have when we book tattoos and
sell tickets to our shows. Our webcasting department delivers a live interview
show twice a month, as well as amazing professional development webinars.
Lastly, our Mini-Magazines have been a hit at tattoo conventions worldwide,
giving artists and collectors a taste of the top tier quality and leading more
collectors online to us.
We have a unique vested interest in the success and improvement of our technologies and
furthering professional development. Take a peek at what we can offer to you!

TATTOONOW WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
10-12 WEEKS
What can you expect? We know, we’ve done this a few times!
At any given moment we have between 10-20 websites in production. Due to this heavy
production schedule website development will take 12-16 weeks from the date of design
inspiration delivery. This timeline is provided that we receive timely feedback and source
material from you. Of course, websites paid in full get priority in the production schedule.
We can rush sites sometimes. Template websites can be up in 5 days.
Interface Design
Upon deposit, TattooNOW will provide you with a design inspiration document to help us
figure out what you want. Our designers can work something from scratch, from your Photoshop files, or rework a current website design. You can use an existing or new domain
name.
Site Implementation
TattooNOW will build all the pages of the website. This includes a ColdFusion back end,
HTML, JavaScript, Image Processing, and Image Optimization.
Quality Assurance
At TattooNOW, we take quality assurance very seriously. Our team will test your website
on a variety of browsers and on Apple and Windows platforms as well as multiple devices.
TattooNOW will launch your website with a news item on the TattooNOW homepage, a
mention in our newsletter, and a spot on our client list. We will also send you a list of
links, and everything you need to know how to get the traffic you deserve! The monthly
fee covers as much tech support as you need.
