is here to help you take the first step to getting your
company on the web, or refining your already existing website.
Because there are many design firms out there who approach the
design process in a number of ways, we developed this web design
walkthrough to take you step-by-step through our proven
design process.
Planning
The planning phase of your website is like building the foundation
of a home - if it's not strong and carefully constructed, the house
will fall apart. During this phase of our proven process, we help
lay
the groundwork for your new home on the web. The standard
timeline for this phase is 2-3 business days.
During this time, we:
Hold an initial meeting/teleconference.
Map site architecture.
Identify and define goals and criteria.
Discuss special specifications.
Discuss client concepts.
Research and brainstorm.
Conduct a verbal site walkthrough.
Identify target audience and demographics.
Establish deadline and milestones.
Design
The design process is one of creative problem solving. Once we have
examined the many possible design ideas and carefully bring them
into focus, we work to effectively communicate your message.
The standard timeline for this phase is 3-5 business days.
During this time, we:
Design three (initial, second, and final) unique comps of both a
home and matching
inner page that effectively communicate
your message.
Design a custom graphic user interface (GUI) that maximizes and
showcases your information.
Help establish an online branding identity carried over from your
print campaign,
or one which will easily be integrated into a new
print campaign or
stand alone web presence.
Inspect draft and final sets of client revisions, after which we
will
present design comps
for your review. We then incorporate
changes, feedback,
comments, and ideas into second and
final drafts.
Finally, when all the colors have been selected, all elements scaled
and balanced, and the final stylistic format applied, a certain
distinction results. Something that conveys instantly the quality
of
services and/or products offered - and the nature of the company
offering them.
The design process can take a few minutes or several months.
It can be simple or complex, it can involve one person or a
carefully developed team.
Development
This is where it all comes together. During this phase, all the
backend, programming, and development are completed. Our developers
use the latest technologies to deliver your site with the necessary
emphasis and impact. The standard timeline for this phase is 7-21
business days.
During this time, we:
Communicate with you via e-mail status reports.
Post progress reports to your client web server for your review.
Work with you through developmental processes.
Beta Testing
And here is where we dot our I's and cross our T's. Beta testing
can take 5-14 days, depending on your availability.
During this phase, we:
Establish a secure and private testing site on your client web
server for your
internal review.
Work closely with you to test all aspects of your new site.
Test and repeat testing on all aspects of your site until it
runs smoothly.
Ensure compatibility with both Microsoft Internet Explorer
and Netscape Navigator.
Launch
Here, we take all your files and move them to your selected
hosting provider, where everything becomes live and accessible
to your web public.
