Web ProjectsOur Web Design & Development Process
Every process is different, but this will give you a general idea of how we approach the web development process.
Gather Information About Your Business
Probably the most complicated and at the same time more important part of the process of building a new website is ghatering information, which will helps us to understand your company and its goals in order to create a susccessful website.
Defining your target audience is vital to give us a clear understanding of the look and feel of your website.
Information We Need To Gather:
- Your logo and images to be used, usually we require it to be in a jpg, png or psd format
- Your copy or website content
- Main Purpose of your website, company goals, target audience,
If you don't have a logo or it is outdated, we can redesign or design a new one for your company.**
If you don't have written content, we can either write it for you ( we hire professional SEO content writers) or you hire your own content writer. We strongly advice hiring a content writer, since they usually understand SEO and write content accordingly.
Plan and wireframe your website
After we gathered enough information:
- Images
- Logo
- Content (Copy)
- Business Goals and Website Porpuse,
This will help and guide us to design your website arund your content and user interaction. It will also help us to determine the kind of technology to use to develop your website.
Some times a static website developed with HTML5,CSS and javascript would be enough and more affordable, but in other situations a more complex technology is needed, so we would probably suggest the use of WORDPRESS ( a Content Management System) which will let you do your own updates and add more pages and content easly without the need of hiring a webmaster or web developer.
If you decide to use a Content Management System, we sometimes, sugest the use of a Wordpress Theme (can buy one for $40.00 to $75.00), which we can then customize to fit your company colors and content, saving you also the cost of developing a custom wordpress website.
At this face we will also discuse the design and development of a responsive website for your company, which is a recomendation from Google for any business to provide their customers with a more user friendly experience on mobile devices.
Web Design
We are skilled graphic designers and at this point we will start the design process of your website according to the information gathered and your company goals.
We must probably email you with the mock-ups of your web site for your approval. It is important that you remember that the more time you take in your revision of the mock-up the longer will be the process to finish the design face of your website. After you have approved the design we can start the Web Development process.
Web Development or Production process
It's time to code your website, whether you decided to have an interactive and responsive website.
We then use a content management system (CMS) like Wordpress, Joomla, Etc. or desgin and develop a static website with HTML5.
This is the part where we put together the designed parts, making what used to be an image (your website design) into an interactive or static website, containing image sliders, your company colors and logo, your content or copy.
We integrate into every website we design, web mail forms to gather information from your clients, and interactive maps that will help your clients get directions to your business location using Google Maps technology.
We will also, at this stage, run a series of tests to make sure your website is not only mobile friendly, but also web standards compliant.
