Web
Design and Development Stages
Website
design is very similar to planning any other company production
such as sales leaflets, brochures or promotions project.
You know your business and what you want to achieve from
your website.
We
will be working together as a project team, to transform
your ideas into reality. We shall achieve this by
a logical web design approach, using specific design and
development stages.
Stage
1: Planning
Discuss/determine
your objectives, budget and establish an appreciation
of your business, combining your ideas with our expertise.
Agree design aspects; styling, layout and navigation to
match your requirements. Advise you on presentation,
text and graphics (e.g logo) /photographic content and
our promotion services. Achieved in person, via
the telephone, e-mail and also sending brochures
and other literature by post if necessary.
Stage
2: Design and development
Following
stage 1, we will compose an initial development web site,
against the agreed requirements and specifications.
We will liaise with you during this process as necessary.
Stage
3: Final Design
Your
business website is ready for launch onto the internet.
The work to incorporate all the elements of stage 1 are
now complete. Website styling, text, graphics, navigation
and any interactive elements are now included making a
unique website from those already on the web. On
completion of this stage, we present the website to you
for review.
Stage
4: Website Launch
Launch
of your web site onto the World Wide Web, we will now
promote the site to assist in conversion of site visitors
into customers.
Stage
5: Site Management and Maintenance
After
launch of your website, regular updates will be needed
ensuring it contains the latest business information and
enhancements. Working closely with customers we
provide full web site life cycle support with flexible
maintenance schedules to meet your needs. With known
fixed maintenance costs and comfort that updates will
be performed responsively to your demands.
Other
Website Features
Your
web site can include interactive features such as enquiry
forms, guest books, counters (these tell you numbers of
people who visit your site). We can advise on and
include these features in our quotation. Please
note availability of some features may depend on your
host ISP choice.
Your
Location
Your
location is not a prime factor. It is not normally
essential for us to visit our customers as we can communicate
and produce your website via e-mail, fax and telephone
in the majority of cases.
