The point at which web site construction becomes visible on the
internet skyline is perhaps the most exciting time of the web
design process
for
the client. Like any highrise, the web site architecture and engineering
are completed in measured stages. We proceed on web site development
through the following phases:
1. Needs Assessment
The purpose of this phase is to determine the company goals which
the website serves, to whom it is targeted, how and to what
extent it will
interact with the audience. Preliminary research determine the
competition, market position, target audience and lines of business.
The marketing
plan and challenges are reviewed. The scope of the project is then
determined to meet those goals. Website scope, architecture
and budget
are intertwined, and refined at this stage. The timetable for completion
is drawn up.
2. Design & Implementation
Website design alternatives are explored. Special emphasis is placed
on navigation and usability.Visual elements are designed, refined,
and then optimized. Text is written, edited and finalized. Site
programing is written, debugged and refined.
3. Installation
The website is installed on the servers of the host and reviewed
with client.
4. Follow-up
Registration with the major search engines is done. The log file
is analyzed for use volume and patterns. Site monitoring and maintenance
are done as needed.
Summary
Delivery on time and within budget are important to you and us.
Elegance in web design need not cost more. |
