We'll do this together. Step by step.
We love to provide assistance and translate
the technical jargon into language that makes sense.
We guide you through every step and answer all your
questions. We provide frequent project updates so you
are never in the dark.
Our Development Process
Step 0: Details & Scope
We meet, face-to-face, Zoom, or FaceTime to
learn about your business, your goals for your new
website, and what you like (or dislike) about your
current site.
We chat about your aesthetic preferences,
favorite color schemes, styles, and websites.
We build a high-level feature list.
We answer your questions.
Step 1: Research
We study your target audience, competitors and
partners. We identify other creative professionals that
might be needed (writers, photographers, branding, etc.).
Step 2: Contract
We complete our statement of work to include the
details of your project. We outline the features,
technology, scoping, and deliverables. We list
development timeline and payment schedule. We are
here to explain the details, answer any questions
you may have, and make adjustments and
modifications.
Step 3: Design Details
We get to work! We create sketches, prototypes,
wireframes, sitemaps, and other design samples for
various devices. We spend time on the human
interface aspect of the design. We review, iterate, and
refine the design with you.
Step 4: What You See
We implement your website's user interface and human
interaction model. This is the
first time you see how your website looks,
and are able to step through the flow. Exciting!
We keep you as involved as you wish to be. Your feedback
helps refine the site, and we hope you provide plenty.
Step 5: What You Don't See
We start tackling the back-end: databases,
servers, data-driven aspects of the website,
including any customer interaction functionality.
We connect analytics, implement our SEO strategy, and
your administrator’s tools and pages. We ask for
your review and feedback.
Step 6: Testing, Data Migration, Training
In addition to human testing, we generate automated
tests to systematically test every page, link,
and functionality of your new website. We migrate
exiting databases and archives, train your
staff and partners, distribute documentation,
and launch the beta site. Together with you, we
review the content, assets, and functionality flow. We
perform any last minute tweaks and tuning in
advance of launch.
Step 7: Deployment
We deploy and celebrate with the beverage of
your choice! We stand by for any launch-day
issues. Moving forward, we are there to assist
with any added features, modifications, or
expansions.
