Stages of Building Your Site

Stage 1 - Agreeing the brief
Usually in an initial meeting to discuss in depth what you want from your web site. My team and I can suggest ideas that will meet your objectives, offer a creative basis to proceed and talk you through any special requirements. You'll be advised on costs and given a range of pricing options.

Time will be spent with you to get the brief right. After that I can offer a complete service to provide content, images etc or you can produce your own. I also offer to host your site and register your domain name.

Stage 2 - Look & Feel
Two or three designs will be provided for you to choose from. The site will be previewed on a live demo area so you can see immediately how it will look on the internet. Between us we will work together to produce the right look and feel for your site. Usually once the initial design is agreed the rest of the site evolves quickly.

Stage 3 - Web Site Build
At this point, you will need to provide all the content for the web site, all text must be in electronic form. Images should ideally be electronic form, but it may be possible to use scans from printed material. Help can be provided you have any problems producing the content e.g. copy writers, photographers.

Stage 4 - Testing and Amends
Once the web site is completed, final tests will be under taken on different platforms to make sure the web site functions and looks good to the majority of users. Email, forms, etc will also be tested. During this time you can check the site for any amends. Then the web site will be put live. You will then be billed for job completion.

Stage 5 - Maintenance
If your web site needs maintaining, an agreement can be drawn up. As a matter of customer service you'll be informed of any technological advances, which may improve the performance of your web site.
