Website Design Concepts
Website Design Concepts
In the website design concept step, we come up with three concepts for your website design. The concepts are based on our research into your business, brand identity, your competition and the industry you are in.
Review & Revision
Review & Revision
After the website design concepts are done, you will review the concepts and give feedback on what you like, dislike, what's working and what isn't. This step in the website design process allows us to revise the concepts and come up with something that really works for you, represents your industry, and stands out and gives ownership to your brand.
Programming
Programming
The programming portion of the website design process is where we transform your concept into a functioning website. It includes such things as creation of flash elements multistate JavaScript buttons and dropdown menus, graphic optimization and programming tweaks for the shell of the site. We will also be inserting the code for your Site Manager, Google maps, calendar, e-commerce system or custom applications that have been designed for your company.
Content Insertion

We will do the initial content layout for your informational pages such as about us, home page, news, contact, etc... This makes it easier for you to edit the pages in the future as you have a working template in front of you when making edits.
