Information Gathering

This initial stage is extremely important as we try to successfully blend the customer’s goals and visions with the creativity of our web design team. The client has an opportunity to communicate all the ideas, expectations and requirements related to the website and our experienced website designers will make sure that all important questions are asked. During this stage we acquire a clear understanding of the purpose and goals of the web site; what is customer targeted audience and what is the information that this audience will be looking for at the web portal?

Planning

Web site planning is about developing the sitemap and positioning all information gathered through the previous stage. The outcome of website planning is the site structure - a list of main topics and sub-topics that helps to develop the content of the web pages. During the web planning phase we always keep in mind the end user ( your customer). We agree here what technologies should be implemented in future website.

Design

Our website design team generates multiple web design ideas that are developed into prototype mock-ups. The customer is presented with these options and we discuss how we can improve proposed web site designs. Mock-ups are developed further to achieve design excellence. Communication between customer and design team during website design stage is crucial to ensure that final project meets customer expectations. At the end of the website designing phase we should have agreed what homepage and inner pages we are proceeding with and the navigation structure.

Development

Website Development is the phase when the website itself is designed. Once the final web design is chosen and the customer will provide the full textual content for the website. Our team can then start working on functionality aspects. The content is distributed to the appropriate sections of the website being developed and all interactive elements such a flash, e-commerce shopping cards etc are implemented and made functional. During web site development  phase we make sure that your website is compliant with current web standards.

Testing and Delivery

Our web designers team will test your website for functionality and compatibility issues and ensure that the web site will be seen properly in most recent versions of popular browsers. Once the final web design version is approved the website is uploaded to the customer’s server. We run one more precautionary testing and if the website is fully functional it can be officially launched and introduced to the public.

Maintenance

We offer our customers a full website support and website maintenance service.
