While each and every web design project is different to some
degree; be it the branding, look and feel, or simply the complexity
of the application or content management system. There is
no all-inclusive solution for all businesses. As a result,
each web site is planned and hand-crafted by our team of expert
designers and developers working directly with you to deliver
precisely your vision. When shopping for web services, it
is important to distinguish the level of competence and experience
you seek to build your company's presense online.
Here is a generic project overview of a typical web design
project involving a company with no existing identity:
Identity
(10 - 12 hours)
Design logo for corporate identity. Generally, we deliver
three comps, then fine-tune them from your selection of one.
Once complete, you will be given the logo, letterhead, and
envelope return address graphics in vector format on compact
disc. You may embed these images into documents, or send to
the printer for professional printing.
Site Design
(30 - 80 hours)
Develop an original site design to your specifications. Once
we have a layout ready, we'll guide you to the sample for
review. Following an approval of the overall layout, we'll
refine the sample and prepare for production. Prepare the
copy material, based on your input and existing company documents.
Convert all trademarked, and copyrighted materials into electronic
format. Site content is developed, and integrated with artwork
and images. At this stage, spelling, grammar, and depth of
the website content is tested. Prepare, install, and test
CGI scripts for form processing, as necessary. Ad-quality
images are embedded throughout the site.
e-Commerce Transactions
(10 - 40 hours)
Design and integrate the code into your web site for secure
e-commerce transactions. This includes building an online
database which resides on the secure server along with your
order pickup and management appliaction. Extensive testing
is performed before you make internal trial-purchases before
releasing it to the general public.
Site Promotion
(4 hours startup, and 15 min/week)
Keyword, and prepare all individual pages for the appropriate
level of on-line site promotion. Promote entire site, and
individual pages in approximately 3400 search engines, link
lists, and directories, including all local engines and directories.
In addition, we link the site to relevant industry-specific
web directories, or supplier sites. Based on your input, your
site will link to any other web site on-line. We will also
make recommendations for pay-for-listing services through
the Top 5 engines, which can make a significant difference
in the amount of potential customers finding you through search
engines. Recurring promotion to the top 25 free search engines
is necessary to improve ranking and positioning in these engines.
As necessary, we will guide you through paid listing services.
Site Maintenance
(Time TBD)
Once the site is operational and promoted, we are available
for routine updates, email marketing assistance, and any site
alterations you wish to pursue. All invoices are delivered
with a copy of our work logs, elaborating on each particular
task that we accomplish.
