Design strategy
Determine the requirements
We work with you to determine the strategic and functional requirements of the website. Your website is usually the first customer facing representation that your prospects will see. It must function as part of your overall marketing strategy to be of its maximum value.
Initial interface design
We design the homepage first
The first thing that you will see is the homepage design. This is of utmost importance because your branding and the navigation of the site is determined at this phase. We will come up with a couple of ideas based on the information we have received from our discussions with you. After the design is agreed upon, it is time for content and the build.
Content is added
Assembling the text and images
Once the design is in place, it is time to build the rest of the pages. We rely on our clients to supply us with copy and photos they would like to use on the pages. We will supply a list of content that is needed. Once that is received, we format the copy and put the images on the site. As the pages are built out, we will send you proofs to approve as we go.
Corrections and revisions
Adjustments / revisions are made
Invariably as you see your site fleshed out, there will be changes to the copy, layout and design. We work closely with you to make the changes you would like to be made. We will gladly make the changes and send you new pages to proof. This is part of the process to deliver the exact site that you want.
Testing
Testing your site for functionality
Once the site is built it is time to test it. There are a number of browsers to test with and they all have their quirks. We test multiple browsers on multiple platforms. We test on different phones and tablets too. We make any adjustments that are necessary to make sure your site displays properly on all browsers and platforms. Once the testing is complete, it is time to deploy.
Your site is built, tested and is ready to go live. We deploy and set up a backup schedule for your site. We are glad to host on our servers or host on your preferred hosting platform. Either way is fine. Just let us know. Once deployed your site is live!
