Here is how the process goes:
Decision / Planning Phase
If you have not already done so, you will want to take some time to think about what you wish to accomplish with your new website. Determine if you will need any special functionality or interactivity with your visitors; consider the type of design style which appeals to you and then be sure to let us know. When you are ready, please request your free, no-obligation website design quote.
Based on the information you provided when requesting your website design quote, we attempt to determine your needs, what you are expecting from your website, and try to get a feel for your industry. This is why it is important for you to be as detailed as possible when requesting your quote. We may have questions for you to help clarify certain issues and we will express those before quoting on your project. If we believe that your website development project could benefit from our services and skills, we will quote you on your project.
Once we have come to an agreement on project details, timeline and price, we will prepare a website development contract for you to review, sign and send back with your deposit. (Contracts are not required for projects under €300.00.)
The signed contract and 50% deposit is required before we schedule a time slot for your project. Another 30% is required before testing. The remainder of your balance will be due upon project completion. Once we have received your 50% deposit and signed contract, we will provide you with a copy of the fully executed contract, a receipt for your deposit and your project start date. All projects are scheduled on a first come, first served basis.
If needed, we will immediately secure your desired domain name (pending availability) and include the first 2 years of service. The domain is registered in your name with your information and you will be the only registrant contact on file. We just keep the Administrative Contacts for as long as the Domain is hosted or kept and managed by us. Graphic Design Phase
Upon receipt of your deposit and contract (if applicable), the developer in charge of your project will email you to confirm receipt of your deposit/contract, give you their direct contact information and possibly provide a list of items which will be needed from you over the course of development. You will need to let us know the navigation links you would like (such as home, about us, services, etc) and supply all text and/or product information to be included on your site. In addition, you may also supply material such as company logo, personal photos, etc, if desired. If you have any guide sites you would like us to refer to when designing your site or if you have any preference as to colors, style, etc please offer that information as well. Ideally, all of the above information should be supplied prior to us getting started. Work will commence on your scheduled start date. The developer in charge of your project will contact you on that day to confirm that we are getting started.
We will provide three possible custom designed home page concepts for your project. In most cases, we will be able to provide these designs within 3-5 business days following your start date, subject to workload at the current period.
We establish a private ip for your new website on our servers so that you may view the website development progress at any time. In addition, your project manager will inform you via email when extensive updates to the site have been made so you can review the most recent progress.
All projects include use of professional stock photography images from our current library. If a client requires stock photography which we do not currently possess, an additional fee may apply or you may send us your own photos for processing. Website Development / Coding Phase
All website development programming/coding to run any special features/visitor interactivity on your website is completed and tested.
Based upon your contract and the final design you selected, we create as many static or dynamic pages as needed to complete your site.
Navigation links or drop down menus, and rollover effects, if desired, are completed.
Creation of a site map page is done which includes easy one-click access to all pages of your site.
Incorporation of your logo, photos and text content is included in all projects. Custom logo design is included.
CSS Stylesheets are used to define font faces, styles, sizes and colors for consistency throughout the site.
A favicon is a small image that displays in the address bar and on the favorites menu when someone bookmarks or adds your website to their "Favorites". Creation of a favicon is included in all custom website development projects.
We always recommend at least one contact form for your visitors convenience. Using a contact form, a visitor can email you directly from your website without needing to open their email program. This is especially convenient if a visitor is not using their own computer when their email program is not available. Testing Phase
Meta Tags, Page Titles, Page Heading, Alt Image Tags, Link Text, and Page Body Text evaluation and adjustment where needed throughout the website. At no time can we guarantee when or where the search engines will place your website within their search results or directory. We offer additional Search Engine Optimization services if required.
Your website is tested on a variety of operating systems and browsers to insure proper display and functionality.
Before the website is launched, a grammar and spell check is performed to insure there are no mistakes.
A thorough check for misdirected links and missing files is performed just prior to launching, as well as after the launch of the website.
Any email contact forms and/or programming features included in your project are tested to confirm they are functioning as required.
Launch Phase
Final payment is always due before we take the website live on your domain. Upon receipt of final payment, you will be emailed a final/paid in full receipt.
All necessary website files and scripts are copied to your domain and databases are setup.
After the website is live, any interactive programming and scripts are tested to verify proper function. Since the design and testing phase often occurs on a different server, it is very important to once again verify that everything is working correctly after taking the website live.
After launch and testing of the website, you are provided with a zipped archive of all website files.
When necessary, any documentation needed to use the administration functions of your website is included in PDF format.
Hand submission and automated search engine submission occurs after launching, testing and fixing any issues there may have been.
Completion Phase
Minor adjustments to the website are included at no charge for up to two weeks after the website has launched (maximum of up to 3 hours labour). Minor changes include adding changing text, adding or changing photos, etc. Any major revision requests will require additional discussion and possibly incur a fee. |
