Information
We interview our clients to gather information from them regarding their aims
and objectives.
We ask them to fill in one of our questionnaire which
helps us to focus the project around the main requirements of their business.
Understanding
Our planning processes are aimed at helping us visualize the clients needs and
give us a better understanding of the clients business and target demographic.
It is important that the production personnel are in tune with the clients
needs.
Requirements
We like to make sure our clients are completely clear on their roles in the production
process.
We give them a task list which outlines what they need to do
and when they need to do it.
This helps to minimize delays.
Resources
We assign resources to the project as required. Personnel are carefully selected
matching their skillsets to the project requirements.
State of the art
equipment and software are used as standard throughout our organization.
Materials
Any content for the website, both textual and graphic, that the client wants to
include, or that we need to custom design, is scheduled to make sure that it is
available to the designers on time. This helps to minimize delays.
Budget
We always like to have some indication of our clients budget for their project.
This helps us to purpose a realistic solution that can be produced to meet both
the clients expectations and pocket.
We always aim to keep projects
within budget.
Timeframe
We give our clients an estimate of the duration of the project, including various
milestones, at the outset of the project.
This includes recommendations
for various actions to be taken by the clients, such as press releases, etc.
DESIGN
Conceptualize
Our graphic designers will produce a number of initial concept sketches of the
basic site design.
These will be based upon their interpretations of
the information gathered during the Planning stage.
Review
We ask our clients to review the concept drawings from the graphic artists, and
based upon their comments and instructions, we produce a single design for the
website interface.
Approve
Once our client is satisfied with the second phase design of the interface, we
ask for any final alterations to the site, and for instructions to proceed with
the project.
Modify
The final act of the design phase is to tidy up any comments raised by the client,
and to make any last minute changes that may be required before the design is
sent to the next part of the process.
CONSTRUCTION
Once the client has given
approval one the final design, the project is assigned to the web team to transform
the graphical image into a fully functional interface.
The
listed chart shows the different skills that are required in the production of
a quality website.
