The Initial Web Development and Design Process – It all begins with open discussion, which usually will last about an hour. At this meeting, We Listen to Your Thoughts and Desires related to your business and the Image that You want to portray to Your Customers. At this point we will begin to suggest strategies and site design features that will directly address your goals. Budget will of course play into the conversation, but we’re confident that we can help you in any scale. In order to properly evaluate the extent of Your Website Project, we will quickly analyze the following topics to determine which ones will apply to Your Project.

The Look - You’ve entrusted us to Design Your Website. From our initial conversation, we will have an idea of what you are looking for, so we will not trouble you any more about it. You can leave it to us, and take respite in the fact that we Fully Guarantee Your satisfaction!

Site Navigation - This is the map that will direct Your Customer to the area of your Site that they are interested in at that moment. Based on user studies, navigation (nav) buttons that appear to the left of the screen and horizontally on top (in that order) are the best locations for an Internet user to easily navigate through your Site. When there are many pages, and/or many topics, we would enlist the use of Drop Down Menus to better organize your Site’s content.

Content Authoring - After establishing Your Site’s Navigation, content will need to be written and added to each respective category. There are three ways to accomplish this. Please Note: For Options 2 and 3, additional charges apply. 1) You or your designee would supply electronic files of text which we will add to the corresponding categories. 2) You would supply electronic files of text that we would Edit, and add to the corresponding categories. OR  3) We will Professionally CopyWrite your entire Site.

Image Integration - We will optimize all images that you supply to bring them to their highest possible quality while limiting “load” time to its absolute minimum. We will add in most cases, industry specific stock images to your Site beyond those that you provide. 

E-Commerce and Shopping Carts - Developing an E-Commerce Site is more involved, and will require escalated discussions as to the marketing methodologies that you will want to enlist. Just like the Brick & Mortar business, you want to guide Your Customer through your store in such a way that they are enticed by your selection, but able to quickly find what they want, and check out. We will then need to determine the structural details, payment systems, and customer tracking options that you require.

Content Management - Your Website should offer fresh content on a regular basis. The creation of a Blog is a great way to keep in contact with your customers as well as anyone else that may be interested in what you have to say. In other areas of your Website, we can establish an easy to use interface that will allow you to add to or update your own content, and we will insure that the Website structure will be impervious to any accidental keystrokes. This content management feature can be applied to each individual page, or for your entire site.

RSS Feeds - Your Site can display content from any Site that supplies an RSS feed. The benefit to employing this method of communication is that fresh content is delivered to your Site daily. This is of great value to your SEO efforts as the search engines look at this text rich content as your own.

The Contact Form - Your Site’s visitors can request information from you while you harvest information from them as well. A contact form helps to prevent undesirables from collecting your customers’ email addresses for spamming purposes. We always though, add a link directly to your e-mail address for those that would rather not take the time to fill out the form.

Email Database Management - After concocting the incentive to get a customer to give you their information, the harvested information can be stored in a relational database. This data can then be accessed and sorted by topic, name, zip, or any other parameters that you choose.

The Mock-Up - The next step is the Mock-Up. You will see firsthand, the overall look and structure of Your Future website. From here, we will continue to make all necessary changes until You are happy with our interpretation of Your vision.

The Final Stage - of the WebDesign Process is the walkthrough. At this point, you will basically proof your Site, and dictate any alterations that need to be made.
