Development ProceduresThis page explains the process of website development from start to finish.
 Planning Phase
This is where you think about what you wish to accomplish with your new website. Determine if you will need any special functionality or interactivity with your visitors; consider the type of design style which appeals to you and then be sure to let us know.
When you are ready, please request your free, no-obligation website design quote.
Needs Analysis
After receiving your information, we assess your needs, website expectations, and familiarize ourselves with your industry. If we have questions to help clarify your needs, we will contact you. In this phase we determine if your website development project is doable and how you could benefit from our services and skills. If so, we will provide you a quote on your project.
Design Phase
Project initiates
The project manager in charge of your project will contact you. You will need to let us know the navigation links you would like (such as home, about us, services, etc) and supply all text and/or product information to be included in your site. You may also supply material such as company logo, personal photos, etc. You will also have the opportunity to provide guide sites you would like us to refer to when designing your site or if you have any preference as to colors, style, etc.
Ideally, all of the above information should be supplied prior to us getting started.
Work will commence on your scheduled start date. The project manager in charge of your project will contact you on that day to confirm that we are getting started.
Custom Designed Website Concepts
We will provide possible custom designed home page. After you have reviewed the designs and decided which one you would like to use, we will continue to make modifications to the design until the final desired look is achieved. Once the final desired look is achieved, we will create the interior page layout, convert the design to HTML, add programming, etc.
In Progress Viewing
We establish a private directory for your new website on our testing server so that you may view the website development progress. Also, your project manager will inform you via email when extensive updates to the site have been made so you can review the most recent progress.
Development Phase
Programming / Coding
All website development programming/coding to run any special features/visitor interactivity on your website is completed and tested.
Website Pages
Based upon your contract and the final design you selected, we create as many static or dynamic pages as needed to complete your site.
Website Navigation
Navigation links or drop down menus, and rollover effects, if desired, are completed.
Site Map
Creation of a site map page is done which includes easy one-click access to all pages of your site.
Site Content
Incorporation of your logo, photos and text content is included in all projects. Custom logo design is available for an additional fee; send us an e-mail if interested.
CSS Stylesheet
CSS Stylesheets are used to define font faces, styles, sizes and colors for consistency throughout the site.
Website Favicon
A favicon is a small image that displays in the address bar and on the favorites menu when someone bookmarks or adds your website to their "Favorites". Creation of a favicon can be made upon request in a custom website development projects.
Response Forms / Email Contact Forms
We can help you design a contact form for your visitors. Using a contact form, a visitor can email you directly from your website without needing to open their email program.
Testing Phase
Search Engine Readiness Check
Meta Tags, Page Titles, Page Heading, Alt Image Tags, Link Text, and Page Body Text evaluation and adjustment where needed throughout the website. At no time can we guarantee when or where the search engines will place your website within their search results or directory.
Browser Compatibility Testing
Your website is tested on a variety of operating systems and browsers to insure proper display and functionality.
Grammar & Spell Check
Before the website is launched, a grammar and spell check is performed to insure there are no mistakes.
Dead Link Check
A thorough check for misdirected links and missing files is performed just prior to as well as after the launch of the website.
Forms / Programming
Any email contact forms and/or programming features included in your project are tested to confirm they are functioning as required.
Delivery Phase
Publish
We then proceed to publish your website live to the production server. We launch your website and all necessary website files and scripts and databases are setup.
Error Testing
After the website is live, any interactive programming and scripts are tested to verify proper function. Since the design and testing phase often occurs on a different server, it is very important to once again verify that everything is working correctly after taking the website live.
Website Files
After launch and testing of the website, you are provided with a zipped archive of all website files.
Instructions & Documentation
When necessary, any documentation needed to use the administration functions of your website will be provided.
Completion Phase
Minor Adjustments / Changes
Minor adjustments to the website are included at no charge for up to two weeks after the website has launched (maximum of up to 3 hours labor). Minor changes include adding changing text, adding or changing photos, etc. Any major revision requests will require additional discussion and possibly incur a fee.
