I have set up this section of my website
to help you plan and build your website. I feel that this will
give you a idea of what to expect and an idea of the process that
I take to getting your website up and running.
The
Process::
Defining your Project
Is the site an online brochure or a business card that is being
created solely to give information about your company or is the
site going to be much more than that? Will the website have an
online database for easy to change information or will all of
the content be static? Once your
project has been developed the next step is collect all of your
materials to develop an image.
Let's Meet
You and I will sit down and personally develop the image that
fits your business The image of a site is what grabs the users
attention as soon as they type in your address. The image of the
site is how the site is laid out and how it works. A site that
is easy to navigate is MUST.
Collecting Your Materials
Text, print, copy, brochures, products, pictures, product weight
& cost... we need it ALL to get your site going. The more
you provide us with the better.
Website Layout
Navigation is one of the most important parts of your site. Site
architecture is established at this point to insure your visitors
don't get lost on your site. We use text links, graphic menus
and buttons with rollovers to accomplish this.
Working with Materials
Resizing photos, photo optimization, color sampling (for people
who want to match a corporate color to their site design), product
weight & pictures and similar tasks are all done during this
phase of the Web design process.
Setting Up the Design, Look and Feel
Based on your feedback from the mockup site(s) a design is established
and used for your Web site.
Creating the Layout Of Site
Based on your feedback from the mockup site(s) a layout is established
and is applied to your Web site.
Building the Home Page 1st
Starting with your home page, the main page, we start building
your Web site. After this part is completed and approved we move
on. If you have requested your site be optimized for the search
engines, it will be started at this time.
Building the Sub Pages 2nd
The sub-pages (based upon layout and design from 7, 8
& 9) are now worked on until completion. Forms, Flash, CGI,
Java are now added to your site at this time.
Site goes "Live"
Your site is published for the world to see! You can now start
advertising your site, telling friends, business acquaintances
and publish print material.
