Your project is built brick by brick, each a pertinent detail, and each fully revisable. From the very first minute, we provide you with the tools to monitor our progress and easily participate in its direction step-by-step. All the powerful software engineering, years of Web know-how, and excellent design that we offer are yours to fine-tune.
How does our process work?
1 Interview and Assessment Our first step is to talk with you directly and get to the bottom of what your project entails. Our team works with you to asses your target audience and discover how you want your users to interact with the website or application. We can also provide you with a design survey to help ascertain how you would like your site or application to look and feel to users.
2 Information Architecture We create site maps, flow diagrams and wireframes. This is an optional step, but highly recommended as it cuts down on guesswork and provides us with a robust plan with which to move forward.
3 Branding If desired, we offer extensive branding solutions for your company or your company's web presence. It is often useful to decide on branding in advance of the mock-ups in order to define the colors, look and feel that will be applied to all aspects of the site.
4 Mock-ups We create mock-ups for all pages or only key pages of your site. After we determine the general look and feeling you want, typically starting with your homepage, we progress from there with your approval every step.
5 Mark-up Our experienced developers convert the approved mock-ups into valid XHTML and CSS.
6 Integration and Further Development The valid pages or templates are populated with your content and any additional development tasks are performed. (This can be an extensive process for larger web applications.)
7 Usability Testing A highly recommended, but optional step wherein we assign six people to test the usability of your site. We then make revisions based on your feedback.
8 Completion Your web site or web application is deployed to your server and becomes live. From there, we can continue to help you refine and/or update your content as necessary.
