We use a fine tuned detailed process that helps keep the project on track with proven results.  With each new project, from start to finish, we follow a process which helps us move from research to launch while our clients can keep on track of the progress.  We eliminate unnecessary steps that slow down the project and keeps it off target.

Research & Strategy

A successful project always involves clear communication and a deep understanding of your business goals.  We review your competition, both locally and nationally for strengths and weaknesses.  Together with your input, we can develop a plan that will visually convey your ideals and function as a selling tool.

Visual Web Design

Based off your goals and input we fine tune your websites architecture and develop high quality visual web designs.  We give you multiple design revisions and get your final approval before continuing.  No longer will you be tied down by what your web designer “Thinks” your site should look like.  You have the paint brush and we are holding your hand.

Website Development

This step only begins after the final design has been approved.  We take the visual web design and the content provided by the client and build the site into a fully functional website.  We build the entire first draft for your review.   We like to give you the whole picture not pieces of it.   It is not uncommon to make some design tweaks or adjustments but we like to avoid any major overhauls if possible.   We test your site amongst the major browsers:  Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8, Firefox 3,  Google Chrome, and Safari 4.

Marketing and Branding

Before the site makes it’s debut on the World Wide Web we like to give it a little helping hand.  We ensure your site has all it’s keywords, meta information, submitted into the major search engines, and local directories.   We continue your branding by creating twitter, facebook and myspace accounts for your site.  You may think you don’t need them now, but reserving your companies name can prevent future abuse and are ready for you to use if you feel the need to.

Launch

We never try to launch your website on a Friday.   We want you to enjoy your weekend without stress or worry that your website is crashed over the weekend.  We pick convenient times for you and us that we can smoothly launch your site with the fewest of interruptions.  Not all things can be avoided but we do have a detailed process to get your site on it’s way to market for you!

Post Launch

Once the dust has settled and the site is gassed up and working, we like to set up a continuing maintenance plan with you.   We do an internal project review amongst the team and carry over our thoughts to you.  It is important to do these things so we can both learn from what went well and well, the things that didn’t.
