WE WORK WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY... |
Typically we break our production
process into four phases (Consultation, Pre-Site Design,
Site Development, Post-Site Launch). If a project is not
approved and discussed with the client at identifiable
points in the production process, changes can become more
time consuming and expensive for everyone involved.
This process allows the project to reach milestones where
approvals, sign-offs, and incremental billing, can occur.
Below is a sample procedure, which may differ somewhat,
depending on your individual needs.
|
| 1. Consultation
|
| |
Initial Consultation |
|
Prior to our initial consultation we
will provide you with a short design survey, which you
can complete online or we can work with you to complete
the survey over the phone or in person. During our first
consultation (either via phone or in-person) we listen
while you talk about your vision and needs for your
future website. During this process we will also discuss
whether eVisions Unlimited, or you, will develop or
provide the images, photos and copy to be used in the
site development. We can provide this as a service or
work with you to edit your own images and copy.
Based on the questionnaire and consultation, the type
and complexity of the site you need will be determined.
We also discuss domain registration and web hosting
options at this time.
|
|
Proposal and Letter of Agreement |
|
|
During this phase, we will mutually agree
on an acceptable fee and timetable for the project in
our Letter of Agreement.
|
| 2. Pre-Site Design |
|
|
Design Concept and Flow Chart |
|
Two draft designs will be offered for
your review along with a flow chart explaining the site
pages. We will work with you to select the design and
features that best fit your needs.
|
|
|
Sign Off |
|
Once the specific design has been selected,
you will “sign off” on the project and we
will begin the actual site development.
***A deposit of 40% of the project cost is due
at the conclusion of this phase. Quotes are based on
the complexity of the individual project, however, we
guarantee your satisfaction.
|
| 3. Site Development |
| |
Content Development |
|
|
During this phase of the project we
will build a working Test Site
incorporating the design elements agreed upon in Phases
1 & 2. Upon completion, it will be uploaded to a
working server for testing, client review, proof reading,
and approval.
|
|
|
Test Site
|
|
During this phase of the project we
will build a working Test Site incorporating the design
elements agreed upon in Phases 1 & 2. Upon completion,
it will be uploaded to a working server for testing,
client review, proof reading, and approval.
|
|
"Going Live"
|
|
Once all changes are made and approved
and testing is complete, your new site will be launched
to your host.
***the remainder of the project fee (60%) is
due within two weeks of "Going Live."
|
Congratulations your
site is ready! Be sure to tell your customers
about your new site by displaying your web address
on your business cards, letterheads, print ads,
and other media. |
|
4. Post-Site Launch
|
|
|
Search Engine Submission
|
|
Search engines are the mechanism through
which individuals locate your site on the Internet.
Your site will be coded based on the then current search
criteria for the major search engines. Keep in mind
that it can take anywhere from several days to several
weeks for your website to become a regular result in
the search engines.
|
|
|
On-Going Maintenance
|
|
Your site will likely require changes
in the form of adding or deleting links to other sites,
modifications to existing informational content or the
addition of new content as the site is exposed to more
and more users. These modifications will also require
monitoring and testing.
Modification and testing services can be provided by
eVisions Unlimited as part of an ongoing maintenance
package for you.
