Site Planning

For any web development project a number of steps to be carried in order for the project to be successful. At the minimum we focus on understanding our clients' goals to guide us in developing the most original, functional and cost effective solutions. Our approach to any project can be illustrated by the following methodology

1. Introduction (Strategy)
We work closely with each client to define the primary parameters of the project, to identify the targeted audience and to tailor the solution to a specific industry.

2. Research (Innovation)
We gather all available data from the client, the Internet, libraries, and other sources to become familiar with the company's products, range of services and competition. We also research the potential technological difficulties and limitations.

3. Concept Development (Layout)
In this phase, we design an abstract model of the site which includes:

Structure
Look and Feel
Content Architecture
Layout
Functionality
We implement and present the abstract design ideas to the clients for review and feedback.

4. Production (Implementation)
After sign off on the design concept, we initialize full development of the site. Graphic design and implementation of major functional elements such as databases and search engines takes place during this phase.

5. Testing / Quality Assurance (Consolidation)
We test the web site on all platforms and common browses, and if necessary, make minor changes.

6. Launch / Delivery (Observe)
Lastly, we transfer the web site to the client's server, test it and launch.

7. After Launch (Next Phase)
We don't stop here. After the web site is fully functional, we provide complete support to our clients including improvements with the latest technologies and any required updates. Custom service plans are available.

Each of these steps can be guided by a formal project management methodology, marketing planning or web site rejuvenation services.
