A Summary Of Our Design Process...

1. Initial Consultation & Research - The 1st step to our design process is to have a phone consultation with you. This initial consultation is free and will answer many of your questions. We want to obtain what you want your web site to do along with a couple of samples of other webs ties you like.
   
   After we gather your requirements and review your samples (10-15 minutes), we can then determine the investment required. We will then prepare a written proposal, listing everything we will do and what we need form you. After you accept our proposal and place your deposit (determined by both parties). We move to the account setup phase.
   
   
2. Account Setup Phase 1 - This step involves registering a new domain name (yourcompany.com) for at least 1 year. If you currently have a domain name, we will either modify your settings at your current registrar (godaddy. network solutions, etc.) or transfer your domain to our registrar (affordablwdomain.ws). If we transfer your domain to our registrar, we will automatically extend your name for an additional year.
   
   
3. Account Setup Phase 2 - This step involves selecting the proper hosting environment (linx/windows) and server configuration. This also includes setting up your web mail system; site statistics software and any other site toll need to complete your project as per your requirements.
   
   
4. Design Preparation Phase - This step involves researching your content, industry and/or your sample web sites to determine what type of navigational system we'll use, how we will display the information on each page, what colors to use, how to incorporate any logo you may have, and much more.
   
   We also obtain all of your content, secure any images, multimedia and prepare them for your project. All necessary adjustments, modifications and enhancements are considered.
   
   
5. Development Phase - This step involves putting together the elements of the preparation phase. In addition, this phase includes converting your content (probably in word processing format) into a web format, removing all unnecessary code that can make your page fat. After we have completed the development phase, we will setup a test server and transfer your project to this server for viewing and testing.
   
   
6. File Transfer, Viewing & Testing Phase - This step also includes transferring your files to our test server for viewing and testing this new layout on multiple browsers for consistency. After you view your project on our test server, we accept your modifications. After we complete all of your requests, we then ask for the balance or payment (if multiple payments have been arranged) on this project and transfer your project to your hosting account.
