Process
Web Development and Web Design is a crucial process not only for the way the site looks but also for
functionality. It can be an overwhelming process, especially for people who are not computer or even internet
savvy. We know that, and that is why we have an easy 9 step process to guide our clients through and give them
full control and understanding of their project. We believe that the outcome should be a true reflection of
our client's vision.
1. Kick-off Meeting
Discuss Web Site proposal with the client. Finalize functionality and decide creative direction.
2. Site Architecture
We conduct online research of competitors and draft wireframe diagrams of the website. Wireframes are like the
architectural plans for a house; they specify the pages within the site and key information within them.
They are reviewed with the client for feedback and finalization.
3. Functional Specification
Our team will develop the functional specification in collaboration with the client. This defines the functionality
to be included within the site.
4. Customization and Configuration
The existing content management system will be customized to meet the client's requirements in accordance with the functionality specification.
5. Website Design
A creative brief is devised collectively with the client. The website's design is started based on the
wireframe layouts. We provide two to three different options of a home page and a sample content page for clients to review.
6. Review with the Client
On finalization of the website's designs we create the remaining pages making sure they all match.
7. Template Design
When all the pages are designed and approved we build the front-end CSS/HTML. Our Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
team do consult from the start of the project but at this point are centrally involved.
8. Test
We test the site for bugs before, after and while the content is uploaded for all common browsers. We create bug lists,
which are addressed one by one. Clients are expected to undertake detailed testing during the final stages of the project.
9. Live
Once the content is uploaded and tested, the functioning site is posted live on the web.
