- Interactive solutions: Is it time for chat boxes and A.I?
- Research & Develop the draft site: We will research your competitor’s websites and make comparisons in terms of functionality, content, design, and technologies. Based on our discussion and this research, we create a draft sitemap to illustrate the work-flow of your new site’s functionality and content. This work-flow communicates the template, data elements, and technologies that will be used. A wireframe will be created in order to outline the details of the new site and following these, graphic mockups will be created to convey a look and feel for the site. When everyone is satisfied with these components, we start building the site.
- Build site: The site is built in two stages. The first stage is the development phase. Here we put templates into place and develop and test functionality, once the desired functionality is achieved we move onto the staging environment. In this second stage, the templates, functionality, and content are integrated into a product that we test and debug. We review our progress with you and make further revisions if necessary. If SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and SEM (Search Engine Marketing) services were requested, we make these additions and finish refining the site.
- Launch the site: The site is ready to GO LIVE in its domain – we set up the hosting environment and roll the new site to production. We review the final product with you and make any needed revisions; tutorial services and materials will be provided to help you perform administrative upkeeps for the site.
- Provide site service and administrative support: Following the site launch we are happy to make initial adjustments to ensure you are satisfied with your new site. If interested, fee-based long-term support is available to further maintain and service your site.
