We
work with our clients intimately. We go through a series
of steps to insure that each stage of the website development
is according to the customer expectations. A brief review
of our development life cycle is as following:
Step
1. Concept review: In this stage the customer completes
a full questionnaire describing the need for their web
presence. Additionally, customer selects the site features
to be included on the proposed site. We also get engaged
with the customer suggesting full options available
to them and we develop a site blue print to be further
explored in the next steps.
Step
2. Proposal: Based on the questionnaire in step
1 and the profile we built on customers web presence
we prepare a preliminary proposal with cost and time
estimates.
Step
3. Strategy building: We work with the customer
to develop the strategy on the implementation of the
website development project. This step is crucial as
we closely focus on achieving the true goals of the
customer's website presence (example, corporate presence,
store front, product offering, customer support, service
etc).
Step
4. Design Phase: Our graphic artists get engaged
with the customer to craft the best viable option for
the design. Special care is given to the aesthetics
such as the color scheme to match the company's corporate
site. All in all pragmatic approach is always kept in
mind. As a general rule, the site has to be fast, clean
and professional while reflecting the corporate image
of the company.
Step
5. Implementation: The graphic designer hand off
the site design to the programmer who then start the
coding and programming process. This usually is the
longest period in the site development cycle and take
as little as a few weeks to months depending on the
complexity of the process.
Step
6. Customer Review: A demo is presented to the customer
during the coding process. This allows us to make any
adjustments to the implementation based on customer's
feedback.
Step
7. Testing:
We insure that all features of the site are completely
working. Furthermore, testing is done to make sure that
the site is working on all browsers including Internet
Explorer, Netscape, America Online etc.
Step
9. Launch and Stage: The site is finally stage live
after the customer approves it. We monitor the activity
for a mutually accepted time period.
