WEB SITE WORK PROCESS
Consultation and Strategy
In the initial consultation, we help identify
objectives and define your project goals. We listen,
we ask questions, and we review your competition
and their
sites. We get to know you, your business model
and your customer-set so that we can develop a
detailed plan to meet your needs. We can then
present a
proposal including milestones and costs.
Site Planning
The client information is organized and the site
structure begins to take shape. We define navigation,
structure flow, content development and technology
requirements. A flow chart that visually depicts
the site's components is created for client review
and approval. At this point the site ownership
- who on
clients side is responsible for providing
content and approvals is defined.
Designing "Look-and-Feel"
After the flow chart is presented and approved,
we create several sample site compositions that
reflect the strategy, user experience and intended
"personality" of your site. Presented
online for review, one set of comps generally
includes a home page, a category "drill-down"
page and one page of
product or services detail. We generally present
three different sets for client consideration.
Production
Once the "look-and-feel" design is approved,
StreetSmart begins the actual production of your
site. The major site elements: programming, data
base
connection/design, HTML, illustration, text content
and photography, are integrated to form the final
pages. A working prototype is deployed prior to
final
assembly and production to keep on-target and
refine issues.
Testing and Analysis
When the site is complete, it is placed on the
Web in a protected directory for you to preview.
Now we begin the testing process to make sure
all the
interactive components are working properly. We
test the site on multiple platforms using different
Web browsers, resolutions and connection rates
to
ensure that the site will be accessible to your
target audience.
Launch and Promotion
Next we work with you to create keywords and key
phrases that best describe your site and create
Meta tags that assist search engines in indexing
or
"finding" your site. Once your web site
is launched, we help you register it with major
search engines and directories on the Internet.
Site Maintenance
StreetSmart can include maintenance for a minimum
period of three months after your site is launched.
