| The Stages
of Web Design
Here is a summary of the stages we follow
if we design a web site for you
STAGE 1 Contact Us with your
initial enquiry
You can email us or use our contact form
STAGE 2
Your Requirements
We will phone you or email you to discuss your requirements.
At this stage we will help you decide what kind of web site you
need.
- How many pages might you need? -
eg: Home page and detail pages
- Do want to sell products online? (e-commerce
enabled sites will need an online shop and payment facilities at
extra cost)
- Do you want to use pictures? If so do you want us to
find them for you or will you supply them?
- Do you need to start from scratch with
a domain name and hosting. We can arrange these at extra
cost
- Is your site likely to want interactive
features such as a contact form, audio effects of animated
images?
- Are you likely to use templates
or want a custom design?
After this initial consultation we can give
you some initial ideas as to the cost of your site and you can then
decide whether to proceed with using us to make your site.
STAGE 3 Initial Design Work
At this stage we will work on the basic
structure of the web site.
If you provide us with some personalized
details we can make the initial design relate more closely to your
identity
We will send initial samples with different
possible layouts and colour schemes to help you to decide what suits
you best and we will give you a rough timescale of development.
STAGE 4 Detailed Design Work
We will now design your site to contain
all the preferred layout and images. Any interactive features will
be added.
At the end of this stage the design will
be uploaded to our servers for testing. You can view the site online
and can make suggestions for changes.
STAGE 5 Final Web site Design
We will make any alterations required
at this stage.
If you require a domain name and/or hosting
this can be arranged for you. Alternatively we will upload your
new or altered site to your existing domain.
There will still be opportunities to add
or alter details or design features even at this late stage
