Here at Webmaster Studio, we understand that your website is your business’ window to the world. Your website will be the first impression of your business for many of your customers, and of course you want to put your best foot forward to make a great first impression. Our design process is founded on the philosophy that you know your business and your customers’ best, and we know how to give you a website with the look and functionality you want.
Our strategic design process consists of five phases:
Phase 1: Initial Consultation Meeting. The very first part of the process is a meeting with the project manager who will listen to your ideas and use them to create a working concept. From there, we will take notes on your marking objectives and discuss your overall success strategy. Your project manager will explain every step of the process, from the moment you step into our office to the day that your completed website goes live.
Phase 2: Design Strategy. During phase 2, we will assemble a team of designers and strategists to come up with a design strategy. With this refined strategy in mind, we will develop a wireframe prototype model of the website for you to review. The last part of Phase 2 is a meeting with us to review the website prototype and discuss any changes you would like to see made. Phase 2 culminates with your approval of the website design.
Phase 3: Building the Website. As soon as we get your approval on the design prototype, we get right to work building the actual website. Our highly skilled web developers will take the approved design and concept and bring it to life, using the most up-to-date coding practices. Phase 3 also includes implementing the latest SEO practices to make sure your website can be found by people looking for your products and services.
Phase 4: Quality Assurance. Once we have finished coding the website, we go through a rigorous process of quality assurance testing to make sure your website is ready to go live and properly addresses the needs we discussed during your initial consultation meeting. This QA testing will also guarantee that your website is fully functional and visible on all mobile devices and web browsers. Finally, we’ll check for potential weak spots in the site to make sure it complies with all of today’s modern security standards.
Phase 5: Going Live. Congratulations! Your new home on the internet is up for everyone to see. Once we have properly tested everything on the website and have verified that it meets our exacting standards, we will get final permission from you to set the site live. And as always, you can count on us for professional IT support long after the website goes live—we’re just a phone call away.
