Website
Development Process
Designing a website is a process, a process that we have mastered
over the years. This allows us to do what we do best and allows
you to do what you do best. As we move forward from a concept
to design to a product you are in control.
Development
Process
Initial Consultation : During this
initial consultation, we discuss your goals,
expectations and the targeted audience.
We also layout a road map of the entire
process. We begin to collect your artwork,
content, logos or any other graphics you
may already have. If you prefer, we can
design the graphics and logos for you. we
also get you to fill out a questionnaire
which helps us in understating your requirements.
Design
Mockup :
Once we have enough information to begin,
two sample Homepages are created for your
approval. A navigation map is also designed.
We continue to work on these samples until
we have your full approval. Once a Home
page is approved, we design the sub-page
samples and get approved.
Prototype :
We will post the entire mock up web site
for your private viewing. Prototypes include
all graphics and text but allow for clients
to make minor modifications. All pages
will be fully navigable. Graphics will
have been optimized for fast loading.
Web pages will be designed to fit the
typical users screen.
Site
Testing : We will test the entire
site in both Netscape and Internet Explorer
browsers to ensure all components are
working correctly. The web site will
be available for your private viewing
on our server. We will solicit your
final approval before publishing your
web site to the Internet.
Marketing : At
no additional cost to you, we optimize
all the web pages for search engines.
For a small fee, we can also design
banners for you.
Web site Maintenance :
To keep your customers coming back, a site
must be updated on a regular basis. This service
is available on a weekly, monthly, quarterly,
or as needed basis, and can be purchased in
advance with substantial savings. If you purchase
our Web Solution, we maintain your site free
of cost.
Search Engine Optimization :
Everyone wants to be at the top of the search
engines. It takes more than just registering
your site once with the various search engines.
It requires consistent updates to your keywords,
meta tags, and text of your website and
re-registration with the search engine.
Also, Search engines change their methods
of operation and how they rank sites.
Domain Name Registration :
Once a site has been designed, you need
a domain name. A domain name is your electronic
address. It is the best way for people to
find you. It is typically www.YourCompanyName.com
either you can register it yourself, or
we can register it for you. We charge $15
per domain per year.
Going
Live: Now that you have a custom website
designed, optimized for search engines and
purchased a domain name, it is time to go
live. Either we can host your site or you
can host it with any one else - choice is
yours.
