Our process of making websites is similar to building a house. Having a good initial plan is very important. We work with existing and new clients to ensure that we have a solid understanding of the web project at hand. This helps us accurately quote the project and provide an accurate time frame for completion.
Below is our process of building a typical website with content management:
Planning
First, we review existing web stats, look at your competitors websites, interview key people in your organization, find out who your target audience is and determine what your expected goals are.
Next, we create a site map and identify the key areas of your website. We want to ensure the target audience can find what they are looking for easily.
Web Design
For us, web design is as much about usability as it is making an aesthetically pleasing site. Projects are approached with a purpose and rely on a collaborative process between the client and the design team.
We provide a design comp of the home page and a number of sub pages to show the flow of the website. Next, we move on to html/css and make a "working website". You will be able to click around and see how your website works and looks.
Web Development
Once we have an approved "working website" we start the process of installing the content management system (Spinternet) on your website. Spinternet is the backend of your website which allows you to update content like images, text, forms, add video, etc. At this time we also do any custom programming.
Training
Prior to launch, we will have a training session with all staff who will be making updates to your website. Training is done anywhere from a week before launch to a few months before launch depending on your project.
Launch & Post Launch
Once we have final sign-off on your website we will launch it and make it live to the world! We will work with all the appropriate individuals to ensure everything is setup properly and there is no downtime.
We pride ourselves in customer service and are available by phone and email for any post launch needs.
Web Strategy
Once your website is live we will setup a post-launch meeting to review analytics and look at the overall site performance. This is also a good time to discuss search engine optimization (SEO) in addition to ongoing efforts to increase traffic and conversions for your specific website goals.
