Web Department is not another Website
Development Company. We are business experts that understand
how the Internet works and how it can be used to grow your
business. We do more than just build Websites, we create an
Internet presence for our clients.
We take a customized approach for
each client to ensure that their goals and objectives are
met. We assure that the Key Components of an effective Website
are met to ensure success on the Internet.
Each step in our process serves
the goal of mastering communication between client and developer.
Initially through the Consultation phase and concluding with
Client feedback, throughout our 7-step process, Web Department
hones in on what the client needs, wants, and responds to
– enthusiastically.
| 1. Consult |
| |
Understanding the clients business, mission,
issues and expectations of how the Internet can be of
value to them is the first step. Defining their presence,
whether it be by creating their first logo or incorporating
established brands, and tying that to effective and powerful
business applications, creates Presence, and results. |
| 2. Propose |
| |
A schematic provides a visual explanation
of what we envision for your site. Functionality and flow
become clear to the client. |
| 3. The Plan |
| |
Checklists and Timelines are prepared for
the client so that content collection is simplified and
organized, and all players know the milestones and key
dates to keep on schedule – key to good communications. |
| 4. Creative |
| |
One on one discussion with a professional
designer provides the direct communication that results
in a personal "Look & Feel" that resonates.
Client reviews and approves composites of their Home Page
and Back Pages before functional development begins, ensuring
a solid start. |
| 5. Development |
| |
Our technical staff, armed with schematic,
functional specifications, an approved layout and all
client content are ready to efficiently produce high quality
navigation and back end functionality (e-commerce, data
base, chat rooms, etc.) The client quickly sees a 'Preview'
– a functional, although partial, site to again ensure
that expectations are being met. |
| 6. Testing |
| |
After all internal testing is complete,
it's the client's turn. We request their feedback, or
punch list, of requests for modifications or revisions. |
| 7. Presence |
| |
Upon client's final approval, the site goes
'Live' for the world to see. Marketing campaigns ensue,
and Presence is achieved. |
