Services :: Development Process
A professional process ensures success.
Our development process begins with a requirements analysis. We talk with you about your clients, patrons and other stakeholders. Who do you expect to come to your website and why? What do you want to provide for them?
To get you started along these lines, ask yourself why you need a website. There are many possible advantages:
- to protect your brand
- to keep in touch with your clients (repeat sales, support)
- promotion of products or services
- direct sales (deepen and broaden your market)
- virtual document publication (reduce print costs and production time)
- communication with employees or business partners
- integration of disparate information sources (database, documents, email, etc.)
- to build a community (bridge distance and enrichen interactions)
From here a model is built of the scope and extent of functionality that you require. We don't believe in adding extra capabilities just because they are possible. Kitchen sink solutions mean money down the drain! Your visitors will be confused by too many options, and will remain disengaged from what you are offering.
All of our sites include search engine optimisation and registration, standards compatibility and Zero-Error Design.
Once the requirements stage is done, a price for the development can be determined. The cost of a site varies according to the number of pages, images and other components; the technologies necessary for implementation and how much design work is required. Read more about pricing.
Upon the signing of an agreement a deposit secures our services. We then begin the development process, but will return to you for feedback and critique regularly.
After development is completed, the balance of the account is payable and the website launches to an eager public!
Monitoring the progress of the site and keeping up with changes in content, requirements, and so on is critical. A maintenance plan will be developed on an individual basis.
