In designing a successful web site is to gather information.
Many things need to be taken into consideration when we design the look and
feel of your site, so we first ask a lot of questions to help us understand
your business and your needs in a web site. They may be: Purpose, Goals, Target
Audience, and Content.
Using the
information gathered from phase one, we put together a plan for your web site.
Here we develop a site map – a list of all main topic areas
of the site, as well as sub-topics (if applicable). This gives us a guide as to
what content will be on the site, and is essential to developing a consistent,
easy to understand navigational system. This is also the point where we decide
what technologies should be implemented –CSS Grid Builder ,CSS Sprite Generator
,Blueprint: A CSS Framework , CSSTidy ,
logicss: CSS Framework,Clean AJAX,Sajax,DOMTool,Venkman: JavaScript
Debugger,Firebug,Web Developer extension for Firefox, Internet Explorer
Developer Toolbar, Yahoo! Design Pattern Library ,Test Everything,Pingdom
Tools,Aptana Studio Community Edition and many more.
Drawing from the information gathered up to this point, we
determine the look and feel of the site. Target audience is one of the key
factors taken into consideration here. A site aimed at teenagers, for example,
will look much different than one meant for a financial institution. We also
incorporate elements such as the company logo or colors to help strengthen the
identity of your company on the web site.
Once we’ve designed a prototype, you are given access to the
Client Studio, which is a secure area of our web site. The Client Studio allows
you to view your project throughout the design and development stages. Most
importantly, it gives you the opportunity to express your likes and dislikes on
the site design.
In this phase, communication is crucial to ensure that the
final web site will match your needs and taste. We work together in this way,
exchanging ideas, until we arrive at the final design for the site. Then
development can begin…
This is where the web site itself is created. We take all of
the individual graphic elements from the prototype and use them to create the
functional web site. We also take your content and distribute it throughout the
site, in the appropriate areas.
This entire time, you will continue to be able to view your
site in the Client Studio, and suggest any additional changes or corrections
you would like to have done.
At this point, we attend to the final details and test your
web site. We test things such as the complete functionality of forms or other
scripts, we test for last minute compatibility issues (viewing differences
between different web browsers), ensuring that the site is optimized to be
viewed properly in the most recent browser versions.
Once we receive your final approval, it is time to deliver
the site. We upload the files to your server – in most cases, this also
involves installing and configuring WordPress, along with a core set of
essential plug-in to help enhance the site. Here we quickly test again to make
sure that all files have been uploaded correctly, and that the site continues
to be fully functional. This marks the official launch of your site, as it is
now viewable to the public.
Best Web Solution : The development of your web site is not necessarily over,
though. One way to bring repeat visitors to your site is to offer new content
or products on a regular basis. If this interests you, we will be more than
happy to continue working together with you to update the information on your
web site. We offer maintenance packages at reduced rates, based on how often
you anticipate making changes or additions to your site.
