Step 1 . Brainstorming & Prototyping ~ We go all the way to understand your particular needs and goals helping you clarify them, if necessary. During this step, we strive to learn about you and your business so we can plan a site that will fulfill all your purposes. At the end of this first step, we will produce a draft of the functional design of your site. We will offer you alternative solutions, present our final proposal containing a master plan, and prepare a project's schedule or timeline. This first step also helps us determine the image you want to convey to your viewers by deciding:
- the colors to be used
- ideas for pictures and illustrations
This step will give your site its unique scent. Step 2 . Production ~ In this step we complete the design of your site architecture, test different technical options, and develop the appropriate information and graphic solutions to fulfill the plan. During this step we also produce the first working version of your site. All the text will have been written, the pictures taken and optimized, the illustrations made or bought, and the music files prepared. All these aspects of the architecture of your site will have been put together as we complete the design of its navigation system and its flow of information. Most of the coding (HTML, CSS, Java Script) will be already in place and the site will have started to look as we planned. You will be able to sit comfortably in front of your monitor and navigate your site. Step 3 . Refining & Launching ~ At this step, we test the Beta version of your site, refine it, and launch it onto the Web. This is the time to solve the fine technical and aesthetic details: checking platform and browser compatibility, gathering feedback to improve general performance, doing a complete walk-through, hosting, and launching. At this step, we will also test your site's usability: the way visitors react to its features and performance. After gathering their feedback, we will make the final adjustments.
We want your viewers to like your site as much as you do. Step 4 . Updating & Maintenance ~ Your needs change, so your site will change too. We offer continued development of your site: updating information, keeping a liaison with your hosting service, and fully participating in periodic testing and strategy meetings for planning and future development. For nominal fees we can provide solutions for search engine rankings and provide monthly reports on types and quantities of visitors your site is getting. We have a maintenance plan for every budget and every business size. Our goal is to establish a long-term working relationship with you. We will be proud and pleased with our work when you are proud and pleased with your web site. |
