Our Development Process Every Digital Dream project starts with collective planning,
brainstorming and research. Our 8-step development process allows us to build
you an effective web site that outlines each phase of your site from the
planning phase right up to the final launch.
1. The Plan Our first
step is to layout a complete description and wish list of what will be done. All
goals, visual ideas and functions of the project will be discussed. As early as
possible a site map or job outline will be developed in order to determine the
appropriate navigation structure and any necessary media
requirements.
2. Concept
Phase After the outline is established; our
designers gather any media items such as photos, logos and graphics and will
create a set of conceptual designs. These will show a number of different
approaches to the design and navigation of the web site. These are presented
first as static images in order to provide visual impact before any working HTML
pages are completed.
3.
Production Once a creative direction has been
determined, we then create an actual working model. The core interface will be
formatted and the site will start to show proper interactivity. The navigation
will take shape and any interactive features will be finalized and implemented.
Templates will be finalized for the data driven sections and the site will be
put onto a working server for review.
4. Formatting All information outside
of dynamic data driven pages will be added at this time, including: Contact
forms, static content and images.
5.
Database development & programming If your
site requires a dynamic database we would apply any backend programming and
administrative features to your new site design.
6. Testing Before your
site goes live, our team of developers will test all aspects of your site to
ensure proper functionality and navigation.
7. The Launch After the working model
is revised and approved, we launch the final site.
8. Marketing Once the
site has launched we can then prepare all pages, content, keywords and meta tags
for search engines. Registration is done on all major search engines and
evaluated after 30 days using targeting software. Positioning can then be
adjusted as required.
