We understand business goals and how to grow businesses. Our
development process is designed to give you more than just a
website; it is designed to give you growth.
The value begins here. We don’t expect you to dictate to us everything you will need. We let you leave the planning to the people who do it everyday.
During this phase in the web design process, you get to know us, and we get to know your business- REALLY get to know it. By taking a broad look at your business model and client base, we can begin the translation process of brick and mortar to web.
Our goal is to help improve your overall business while planning and designing your website.
After collecting information about your business and your goals, we move on to research and planning. This portion of the web design process is compared to the architectural process of building a house.
We want you to look good in the neighborhood, and that means we look for ways to out-shine your competitors. We will research the technologies and conventions being used in your industry to find ways to improve upon them. The director of every department will review the planning materials and offer their expertise to bring it to completion.
From our research and planning, we will draft an architecture for
your web solution. During this phase of the web design process you
will receive the following:
During the presentation, you are welcome to make changes to the plan.
The artistic part of the web design process starts here. You and will meet with your appointed project manager and our creative director to begin discussing aesthetics.
Your graphics and marketing materials will be reviewed, and you will have the opportunity to communicate to our team what sort of overall look and feel will best suit your business.
Based on the information collected in your design questionnaire, our design team will compose the home page of your website. This storyboard will dictate the overall look and feel of your website.
When you receive your home page, you will have the opportunity to make any changes you desire.
We believe in our ability to listen well and get it right the first time. So as long as you don’t change the initial scope you agreed upon, you will not be charged for any changes you need to make.
Through this phase of the web design process, our designers work diligently on composing a storyboard for every page in your website.
You will have the opportunity to approve every individual page and make necessary changes, just like you did for the home page.
While you are reviewing the storyboards, the Programming Department begins to plan the database that will power your website.
You will receive personalized consultation and recommendations from our expert programmers during this phase. Many clients take advantage of this expert knowledge by adding more functionality and dynamic qualities to their site.
When the design of the site is finalized, the pages begin the slicing and coding process. This is where the website begins to flow and function like.
Good coding ensures fast load times, compatibility across multiple types of browsers, and that any new sections you add as your company grows can be implemented quickly and easily.
Tigeradmin is our proprietary content management solution, and since we built it, we can customize it to every individual client’s needs. It enables you to update, in real time, your website with the ease of writing an email.
We install your custom Tigeradmin modules during this phase of the web design process, as well as install any other dynamic features.
Your website is almost ready, and we want to make sure it works and looks good in all the major browsers. We enter test content and check to make sure the styles expand to fit, and we view the site in the 4 major browsers to find any compatibility errors.
The web design process is completed now, and your appointed project manager will meet with you for an unveiling of your completed site and a training session so you can begin content entry.
You will receive a Tigeradmin manual written especially for your site.
The site is in your hands! You will begin to put in text, images, videos, products, events or any other content your site was built to hold.
We give you all the tools you need, yet we are only a phone call away if you need help. In addition, we will check on your progress periodically to ensure the site is behaving as it should and that you are happy.
Ready for the public? Let us know when you want to launch the site. We will move the database and redirect the domain name servers. The process takes between 48 and 72 hours, and then the site is live!
To increase the traffic to your site, you will need to gain exposure and rankings in the search engines.
We offer a variety of SEO/SEM services to make sure you get the positive attention you want.
