Our Web Design Process
Step1: Determine Your Requirements
Our web design process begins with a conference call with you and a designated project manager; your project manager will be your single point of contact for the entire project. We will ask you questions that will help us customize your website, information such as:
-
Your company history, mission, credentials, etc.
-
Your products & services
-
Your target audiences
-
Your competitors
-
Your web design guidelines (i.e. color, image, tone, mood, navigation, objectives, etc)
-
We will write up a web design specification to confirm our understanding.
Step2: Gather Design Materials
The next step is to gather design materials and information needed to design and develop your website, information such as:
-
Company logo, photos, brochures
-
Copies of your products & services
-
Stock photo selection from over 1M professional photos
Step3: Construction, Review, and Refinement
Once we have the needed materials, we will begin website setup, design and programming:
-
Register your domain name
-
Setup our hosting account
-
Setup your emails
-
Create the first prototype to confirm the design
-
Get feedback from you, and then design the next prototype
-
Test and debug any custom functions
-
Continue the design-and-review process for up to 10 revisions
-
Help setup your Microsoft Outlook to manage emails
-
Help setup your merchant account (for eCommerce)
-
Provide training for any custom functions
Step4: Going Live
Once you approve, we will publish your website and have it ready for business within a few hours.
A basic business website averages 3 to 4 weeks to complete.
Step5: Site Submission and Promotion
We will "hand submit" your site to Google, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, and provide you with ongoing search engine position analysis.
We also offer Google campaign management services.
Step6: Site Changes & Support
There are two ways to make changes to your website:
- Use the Content Editor to make changes yourself
- Submit a change request to our Support Desk
Step7: Monitor Your Site Traffic using Google Analytics
See detailed website statistics and learn business critical information about your website:
- Number of visitors (by time and date)
- Pages most viewed (and pages most exited)
- Length and depth of visits
- Referring sites (where are the clicks from)
- Search Strings (how were you found)
