Do you want a new website, or an update to your existing site?

Your website is your window to the world. It should bring value to you and to your customers.

The goal of web development is to build a website. A website should be well organized and relevant, it should be user friendly and reliable, professional and appealing, and most of all a website should be easy to find.

Building a website is a process that has many important steps to it. First of all, you need to have a plan outlining what is necessary for the website. By carefully considering your target audience and providing a clear definition then it becomes plain what content needs to be developed.

Goals

What is the purpose of the website?

By establishing short and long term goals you can plan for future growth and expansion. Identify measurable objectives in order to monitor progress.

Audience

The people visiting your website will be there for a particular reason. It is important to have a thorough understanding of what your audience is looking for when they visit your website.

Definition

Start by evaluating and organizing your content according to the requirements of your audience. Then build a list of content that will accomplish those goals, if the content does not fit the goals then it should be removed.

Visually plan the site. Detailed site maps and wire-frames are easily reviewed and changed to best suit the purpose of the site. The review process increases the likelihood of success.

Design

After considerable thought has been put into detailing the project the designer can begin to consider the aesthetic of the site. Layouts are made and reviewed until the final design is approved.

Build

Producing the HTML and CSS documents is a straightforward but very important stage in the development process. Pages should be tested in multiple computers with different browsers and operating systems.

QA Testing

Quality assurance is the process of establishing excellence in the work. This ensures that the end result is a reliable and maintainable website that is suitable to launch on the internet.
