Following is an overview of internal development process, which may vary depending upon the specific needs of the client & the level of client-requested service.

planning

The planning phase is the most important & often overlooked step of the development process. It takes time, patience, experience & involves conducting a detailed needs assessment consisting of the following:

• General needs overview
• Graphical design requirements
• Development of goals & objectives
• Analysis of the target audience
• Review of competitor & related sites
• Review & consideration of site features & functionality
• Cost/benefit comparisons
• Hosting requirements
• Marketing needs analysis
• Available domain names
• Determine text content & image needs
• Current & future budget determination
• Site maintenance options

Structure Development

Once the planning stage is complete, the web sites design & application structure are precisely laid out to ensure that all necessary features & functionality are understood & included. Failure to completely & accurately develop this stage will almost always result in costly additions, numerous complications, & the inability to deliver the finished project within specified timelines.

• Number of required pages
• Number of required page designs
• Navigation flow & page placement
• Application flow & page placement
• Client approval

Web Design

This stage involves the actual design of your company's web site, which is also done in stages. This process is a continuation from the planning & structure development phases.

Home page creation

Your home page sets the standard for your company's image & is the most important page of your site.

• Pre-screen drawings & internal consulting
• On-screen theme & major element creation
• Navigation, text & image placement
• Internal & client review
• Necessary alterations made
• Client approval
• Conversion to web format

Sub-pages creation

Sub-page design should be consistent with the theme & feel of your home page & isn't created until the home page has been carefully reviewed & approved.

• Continue theme developed for the home page
• Navigation, text, & image placement
• Application elements placement
• Internal & client review
• Necessary alterations made
• Client Approval
• Conversion to web format
• Add & populate the remaining pages

Application Development

Application design proceeds in much the same way as the other stages. Above all else, the applications must perform correctly, consistently, & be easy to use.

• Determine functionality & scope of data involved
• Lay out interface & flow of events
• Client administration areas
• Site user displays, continuing theme of home page & sub-pages
• Internal & client review
• Necessary alterations made
• Client Approval
• Final population of data

Internal Review & Testing

Although we carefully review & test throughout each phase of the development process, we will take the necessary time to do a complete site check prior to the approval & release stage.

Approval & Release

Once we complete our internal review & testing, we ask that the client review all content, test navigation & application functionality, & approve the site before release to the internet.

Follow-up

We will contact you after your site has been online for a few weeks to get your feedback & any feedback you've received from clients & employees.

Future

We will occasionally contact you to discuss results, needs, & additional ideas for future development. We are always available by telephone & email to assist you.

Something that is overlooked by a lot of web designers and developers is what is actually involved in the deployment of a website; the process when you've finished developing the site, tested to make sure it works, and are ready to push it to a live web server.

In a lot of cases, you will be dealing with clients who are getting their website for the first time, and there is nothing for you to really consider apart from the hosting solution to set them up on. As time goes on, you will start getting larger clients that may have existing websites already, or who have more complicated needs. You may find yourself in a scenario where the outcome could be a very unhappy client with data loss and a whole company's worth of missing emails and site assets. Here are some basic steps that will ensure that you have covered all the bases for a smooth website deployment.

Website Deployment Checklist

• Having access to DNS record management or knowing the people to contact
• Setting up the DNS records and making sure that all the settings are correct
• Setting up and testing the website on the production server
• Setting up email accounts
• Backing up the old site (if applicable) and deploying the new on

How is it different from other web hosting companies?

• placing your site online and set up your email accounts.
• supplying a simple control panel to customers interested in managing their own account.
• offering toll-free and email support.
• accessing a web professional at any time.
