To ensure that your project goes as smoothly as possible, we employ a seven step process when we build a full-featured web design and development project for you.
STEP ONE - DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS
Nobody knows you or your business better than you. Our first step is always about discovery and information gathering – we want to identify things like the purpose of your website, your business goals and more about your target audience. This sets the stage for all of the remaining parts of the process.
STEP TWO - PLANNING & STRATEGY
Using the information gathered from phase one, we put together a plan for your web site. This step of the plan includes planning and mapping out your site map and structure as well as identifying all of the various technologies that we’ll be using in your project.
STEP THREE - DESIGN & USABILITY
Once we know the basic structure, we will begin to sketch out the design and visual style as well as sketching out wireframe models that show how things look and where they are positioned. This phase also begins our work on usability of the interface and interactivity, focusing on the best possible user experience.
STEP FOUR - CONTENT STRATEGY
A very important part of our process is to help figure out what content you’ll need on your website and how it contributes or supports your business goals. We’ll agree on the voice and tone of your content, setting the stage for the rest of the project. Then we’ll begin deciding on the right text, photos and/or videos – all optimized not only for your visitors, but also for search engines.
STEP FIVE - WEB DEVELOPMENT
During this phase we begin doing the real work. Our web developers are vigilant at producing standards-based HTML, CSS, PHP and a lot of other acronyms you may not know about. But trust us, this is where we make it all happen. Our sites & apps are built using the latest programming languages so they're fast, responsive and compatible with all computers, tablets and mobile devices.
STEP SIX - TESTING & QUALITY ASSURANCE
At this point, we will test all the technical features: things like HTML code, CSS, javascript and the like, as well as testing compatibility with all the latest browsers. Then finally, we re-check everything and ask ourselves if your website really fulfills the purpose we defined at the start of the project.
STEP SEVEN - DEPLOYMENT & IMPLEMENTATION
Even after we launch your website, our job is definitely not done yet. We will monitor what’s happening on your website, enabling us to fix any possible deficiencies or bugs. We offer free support for 30 days after launch. Then after that period, we can also take care of ongoing maintenance and security updates and optimization for you.
