The Process

If we were to single out one of the most important phases of the design process it definetely would be the planning phase. It is planning and implementation of a tested strategy that is the key to web site success. We develop around our five-phase strategy process:

Phase I - Defining The Project

• Meeting to define requirements (personal or by phone)
  • Determining overall goals
  • Quick analysis of industry
  • Identifying backend programming needs
• Generation of quote
• Quote approval
• Start of project

Phase II - Research & Planning

• Audience analysis
• Competitor analysis
• Definition of time scales
• Signing of contract

Phase III - Developing Protosite

• Creating a content delivery plan
• Site structure development
• Developing graphic concepts
• Developing navigation systems
• Ongoing feedback and approval from client (via private staging area)

Phase IV - Production & QA (Quality Assurance)

• Content integration
• Backend application development (databases, email systems …)
• Finalising graphic design
• QA testing
