Process

This is how we like to build websites. It’s an established method that works for almost all cases, but don’t worry if you’re not all cases – we’re problem-solvers and will tailor our process to suit your needs.

Step 1: Research and Strategy

We learn the details of your business and what your goals are for the website. We also take the time to understand your clientele and the user experience you want them to have.

Step 2: Design and Content

This is where we do the fun stuff – deciding on the style and overall identity of the website. We look at placement, begin compiling content, and start creating pre-development mockups.

Reality test: We consult with you and discuss the first round of revisions. We’re confident you’re going to love our work, but we value your input and want to ensure your satisfaction.

Step 3: Development

Here we decide on a platform for your website and the structure it should have. We load the main content and customize the appearance – implementing functionalities, applications, widgets and plug-ins that will really make your website shine.

Reality test: It’s time for another consultation and a second round of revisions before finalizing the details.

Step 4: Launch

What you’ve been waiting for. We set up the hosting and domain, and upload your website to a public server. We do testing to make sure everything is working as it should before handing over editorial control to you. Don’t panic. We’ll stick around to give you a helping hand until you’re confident you can go it alone.

Step 5: Promotion and SEO

We might have handed over the reigns to you but our work doesn’t end there. We set up visitor statistics tracking tools so you can see what most interests your users. Social networking sites aren’t going anywhere so we link you to all the popular ones, and we notify popular directories of your website so that your future clientele can find you.
