We build websites in the same manner that you would build your business. The essential ingredients are:
 having clearly defined goals and objectives
setting a course of action to achieve them
creating a timeline
establishing a budget
Here are some key questions that are essential to your website and should be addressed in your website creation plan:
 |
What is your website’s purpose? What does it mean to you? |
|
Who is your target audience? |
|
For each target audience, what are the 3 key benefits of visiting your website? |
|
Do you have a theme in mind for your website? What types of images and photos come to mind in regards to your website’s theme? |
|
Have you outlined the website’s content? What types of messages should your website’s content present? |
|
Have you identified a budget for your website? Does your budget fit your plan? |
|
Who (from your end) is in charge of the website’s development? Who will communicate with the creative team? |
To streamline the website creation process, we divide website development lifecycle into the specific stages outlined below.
Planning and Requirement Gathering
We help you create an initial plan that gives you a blueprint for how to accomplish your objectives and gives you a way to measure your progress.
Design
Initial designs - usually ready for approval within 1 week of client-submitted objectives and content.
Approval and revisions - this stage is highly dependent on the client's schedule and feedback, but usually takes 1 week.
Development and Quality Assurance
We employ our web development skills in HTML, Flash, Scripting Languages, amongst others to build your website in conformance with your requirements and the approved design. We thoroughly review and test the final output to ensure the website’s high quality and performance.
Testing
In addition to our internal testing, we deploy the website on a staging server so that you (the client) can perform your own testing and report any issues or non-conformities for us to resolve. Of course, we try to provide maximum satisfaction by ensuring that you uncover as little issues as possible.
Hosting
If you haven’t done so already, we help you find and register a domain name, identify a hosting provider that suits your website’s requirements and is not excessively expensive, and deploy your website in the hosting environment.
Maintenance
We can maintain the website for you as a separate maintenance project, or give you access to maintain it yourself.
