Webstantaneous Marketing Web Design Studio -
Web Site Development Process
Choosing a web design to create a presence for your
company on the internet can be a difficult decision. There are
many different web design companies currently offering development
services, with varying degrees of quality and a wide range of
prices. Below you will find our process of designing your website,
which we hope you find useful. We feel that defining the customers
goals and expectations is crucial to developing a successful web
site. As a result, all of our sites are designed from scratch,
according to your feedback.
Contact
Webstantaneous Web Design
Call or e-mail us to express
your interest in developing a new web site, or redesigning your
current site. Through this initial discussion we will determine
what features you may require and what will best suit your needs.
We will discuss overall appearance, color scheme, time frame for
completion, and any other relevant issues such as domain name
registration or web site hosting, etc. This will be a very informal
dialogue to determine the general guidelines for the overall site
appearance and function. We will encourage you to compare our
services to other web design firms before making any decisions.
If you are interested in our services after this first discussion,
we will send you our web design contract, and questionnaire.
Meet Webstantaneous Web Design
Once
you have returned the completed contract, we will need to meet
to discuss the web site development and cost estimates, and transfer
the files that will create the content of your web site. This
information may include your catalog, brochures, customer feedback
forms, pamphlets, business cards, color copies of photos and images,
and any other media you wish to include in the web design. We
will also need to obtain important company information such as
locations, hours, history, philosophy, employee information, etc.
Keep in mind that the more information that you can provide for
your web site, the more valuable it will be for your visitors.
Your site will be available online 24 hours a day, so you want
to provide as much accurate information as possible. We will work
with you to determine how the web site should be developed and
optimized, based on the information you provide at this time.
Web Design Research & Development
We
ask that you do some research on the internet and locate web sites
that may have design ideas, color schemes, and functions that
appeal to you. We also ask that you provide your main competitors'
web sites. The more ideas you can provide to us at this stage,
the more money you can save on the initial design. Based on your
ideas, we will create at least one potential page layout and make
it available for you to review. This stage of the process is very
interactive, as we will be asking for your opinions quite frequently.
We will be working closely with you to determine which elements
you like and which you don't until we both begin to get a solid
web design scheme that best represents your company.
Web site Implementation
Now
that we have established the base appearance of the web design,
we will start creating most of the additional pages needed based
on the logical organization of the data you have supplied us.
This stage may require a lot of interaction from you to clarify
the data you provided and the overall appearance of the additional
pages and features we add.
Web Site Confirmation
By
this point, the majority of the site layout should be developed,
and we will be asking for your feedback on the total look and
feel, as well as functionality. We will be editing the completed
information, checking all of the functions, sculpting the site
as a whole and finalizing the arrangements for your web hosting.
Web Site Launch,
Marketing & Maintenance
The
web design should now be complete. With your approval, we will
consider the initial design process finished. At this point you
will be billed for the balance of the web design fees. The web
site will be publicly launched on the Internet and the web marketing
process will begin. You are in no way obligated to use our web
marketing services, but without outbound marketing of your new
site you will have a difficult time getting new visitors. Marketing
includes search engine submission, link requests, newsletter subscriptions,
online advertising and more. From this point on, changes made
to the web site will be billed at our hourly site maintenance
rate, and marketing is billed at the same rate plus costs (submission
fees, banner fees etc.)
