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.
