Text Box: # Text Box: PAGE Text Box: Website Design Sure, you could save a few dollars and buy a template but why would you want to look just like your competitors and confuse your customers? We can give you the unique custom look you need, setting you apart from your competitors and ensure a highly usable and search engine friendly website. Our Process Discovery Phase Our custom website development service is very evolved process. That begins with a simple interview for the purpose of discovery. We want to know about your business, your goals and your clients. We'll help guide you in the process of narrowing down what is needed, and what is fluff. We meet with you and your staff to discover the needs and goals of the website project. We develop a project strategy to custom shape an online presence that fits into your existing business plan and works with any pre-existing marketing materials. Together, we'll determine what features are most important to your business goals, your staff and your users. Prototypes We begin with this roadmap. Then our designers will create static design prototypes for your review. These prototypes allow you to see how the final product will look and function before incurring the cost of a full build-out. Once we have a design agreed upon, our development staff will create working prototypes of the design and refine the design based on usability tests. You'll be able to view the prototype online and discuss details with our staff. Fleshing out the site... We then flesh out the site, including navigation, and prepare the content for the site. If you have existing content, we can import it into the new design. As we build your website, we will optimize the source code to be search-engine friendly and validate the source to W3C standards. You’ll have the codes for Yahoo, Google and MSN as well as 100’s of others. We will also program the codes for spiders and robots to scan your site. These are what search engines scan sites with 24 hours a day every day and there are 1000’s of them “surfing” the internet. Pre-launch review… Once the website content is in place, a final review is done to ensure everything is as it should be before releasing the new website. In this important step, we address final details and discover how well we reached our goals for your site. Hosting Launch… Here is where we actually put the site on line and upload it to the servers through ftp protocols. We also take care of the search engines and site maintenance and reporting for you.
