Our consultant will conduct interview session(s) with the client to understand what they want to do with the website, including the kind of looks and feels and functionalities that will help the client's business. Based on the business objectives and requirements, we will prepare a Website Creation Plan (WCP) and present to the client. Upon approval, the WCP will become the blueprint for website creation.
Once the Website Creation Plan is in place, securing a suitable domain name will become the top priority. Good domain name is hard to get and register early for the preferred one is the only way to get what you want. Our consultant will discuss with the client on their requirements to decide if one domain name is enough or multiple domain name registration is required.
This is an important step and sometimes is a long process to fine-tune the plan. However, it would be time well-spent detailed planning would help the client to get the most out of the website. Once WCP is finalized and down payment is made, website design and production will be started right away.
While preparing for website design and production, hosting service and e-mails should be set up. A temporary splash page will be constructed. Instead of the traditional "Under Construction" page, we will develop a page to provide visitors with contact information and basic information of the company.
Contents plan is usually prepared in parellel or before visual design is done. A typical contents plan will include sitemap to show all sections and pages for the website. A contents list will also describe the contents of each section and pages for the copywriter to prepare write-up.
Visual design and color scheme affect the attractiveness of the website. Based on the requirements of the client, visual design will be developed for client's choice. Flow chart of applications and website functionalities will also be created to allow the client to visualize how the application/functionality works.
Once the visual design and application flow chart are approved, production stage will be started. Contents of the website should be completed or near completion when website production starts.
When the website production is completed, the client will be invited to take part in the User acceptance test to make sure that the website is up to the requirements of the client. Comments from client will be collected, revision, if any, will be made at this stage.
It would be a waste of money if a beautifully created website could not be found by its potential customers. To help improving search engine ranking of the website, keywords frequently used by the potential customers will be optimized on the web pages to make it more search engine friendly.
When UAT is passed and keyword optimization is done, it is time to launch the website and let the general public to view the site.
It is recommended that search engine submission should not be done before the website is completely developed and uploaded to the web server. The ideal time for search engine submission is immediately after website launch.
A post-launch evaluation will usually be contacted two weeks after the launch. Website traffic, search engine ranking and feedback from website visitors will be reviewed. If further adjustment is needed for the website, it will be done at this stage. Upon satisfactory review of the website and the related data, website development work is completed.
No matter the client wanted to do search engine submission or not, we will conduct post-launch evaluation with the client.
