At
Red Nose Graphics and Web Design, the design and development process
of a web site generally follows these steps:
START - by contacting
us either by telephone, e-mail,
or by submitting the information request
form available on our "contact us" page.
CONSULTATION / RESEARCH
- We will
• meet with you to discuss your needs in detail;
• review and gather existing materials, literature, information
about your company, and define long-term objectives;
• get to know you, your company, and create a preliminary profile;
• research demographics, target audience, and look at what your
competitors are doing
PLANNING & STRATEGY
- We will
• define your site architecture;
• agree on scope of project (determine number of web pages, graphics,
and other services you may need)
PROPOSAL - The proposal
will contain web site outline, the scheduled completion date and all
costs (no hidden charges - no surprises). Our proposal will clearly
define in detail the web site requirements established in our consultation
and research.
Now would be a good time to decide on a domain
name (we'll help you do that and register it for you, if you wish.)
SITE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
- We will
• create your overall design and develop the web site including
structure, web page layout, content, graphics, links, special "meta
tags";
• decide on valuable key words to optimize your site for search
engine placement
WATCH YOUR WEB SITE EVOLVE -
You will be able to see the progress of your web site as
it is developed!
We realize that some changes are often necessary during the initial
design stages. We're FLEXIBLE! Usually, we can accommodate these changes
without affecting the original cost. If changes occur that will significantly
affect the scope of the proposal, we will bring them to your attention
for approval before any additional charges are applied.
YOUR SATISFACTION -
We will test
the site carefully to ensure that all links are working properly,
and all graphics are loading and visible.
When you are completely satisfied with the web site and we have your
final approval, we will upload the site to the host server.
(Red Nose Graphics and Web Design can also host your site at VERY
reasonable rates - See our Hosting
Plans for more information.)
We will submit your site to the most popular free search engines.
STICKING BY YOU - We
will stick by you when your site is done. If there is
an error or something we missed, we'll fix it for no charge for up
to 30 days. Your satisfaction is our primary goal!.
MAINTAIN YOUR WEB SITE
(optional)
A web site should be maintained to remain fresh and up-to-date to
keep your clients coming back. However, not all sites require it.
Should you choose to have your site maintained, Red Nose Graphics
and Web Design offers several Web
Site Maintenance plans that you may choose from to fit your needs.
