Web
Design and Development Steps
Phase
1: Define Site Goals
During
phase one, we will meet and get aquainted with the individual
who will head up your web design project to determine the
focus of your message. Once we have a solid understanding
of your needs and goals, we prepare design drafts and provide
you with a project analysis. (please see Client
Survey and Communications
Brief.)
Phase
2: Develop Site Structure
In
phase two, we determine how the information will be delivered
to the user and establish the paths they will take as they
navigate throughout your website.
Phase
3: Site Design & Build
Next
we begin to develop the graphics and layout of your website.
During this phase, we require the text and photos that will
be used on your website so that we can prepare the first full
comp of the interface for your approval.
Phase
4: Web Programming
Depending
on your needs, we deploy the appropriate web programming language
to support the "back-end" processing of the information
that will be gathered (if any) from your website. With the
back-end programming in place, we build out the HTML portion
of your site around the graphics, utilizing any number of
web programming languages. These may include (but are not
limited to): CSS, PHP, JAVASCRIPT, etc.
Phase
5: Testing
This
is where we run through major platforms (Mac/PC) and browsers
(Internet Explorer™, Netscape™, etc.) available
on the market to ensure that your website will perform as
desired in all situations.
Phase
6: Site Release
As
a result of the rigorous testing we performed in phase five,
with your approval, we are ready to post your website on the
Internet for your target market’s consumption.
Our
step-by-step implementation plan ensures your web or redesign
project stays on track. ETN Multimedia will monitor site structure,
content and cost at all times. Our web designers understand
the fine line between powerful visuals and clutter, and create
sites with amazing custom graphics that are still usable and
search engine friendly.
