Website Development Stages Every website that we develop is different in some way - the design, page nagivation, purpose and customer requirement. Having said this, the development structure we have devised over the years goes a long way to ensuring that the process is managed smoothly and with the minimum of disruption to your business or organisation.

The stages we go through during the development process are detailed below. We do not stipulate a timeframe for completion but this is agreed within the project plan. We also believe in being open and transparent in relation to our invoicing policy and stage the payments throughout the development. |

Our discussions and consultations may take a little time but it is vitally important that we fully understand what you want. We can help you make a decision about how to go about the process and also what impact this may have on your business. For example, an e-commerce site may become successful very quickly - we can help you to ensure that your business structure is robust enough to handle the increase in sales. At the beginning of the development we ask for a 25% deposit. |

 |
During our discussions we will decide which programming language best suits the development, which database is required and which other hosting and email services would benefit the project within the agreed budget. Once decided, this enables us to create the correct hosting and emails accounts and proceed with the project. | ||

Next we will want to create a design reflecting your business and preferences complimenting the other areas of your company - letterheads, vehicle livery etc, so we will need to get this right. By this time we will know the number of main pages and type of menu that best suits your site. We do not move on to the next stage of the process until the design is completed to your satisfaction. At this stage changing the design is easy as it is only an image. | ||
|
|
|||
 |
Agreeing the design is a formal stage of the process as it can be very difficult to make major design and menu changes after this. Once the design and menu system has been agreed, the design image is converted into a working website without the content (Grey Site). We will then go over the workings of the site to make sure that it navigates properly and any further changes are made at this stage. Once the design is agreed, we will invoice you a further 25% |

Adding the text and image content to the website is generally pretty pain free so long as all content is supplied in time. It is easier and quicker if the text is already typed, but this is not a requirement. Permission to use images must be obtained where necessary. We have an account with a good royalty free image supplier if required. | ||
|
|
|||
 |
Once the content has been added we thoroughly test each area of the website and ensure that everything is working correctly. We then discuss any last minute changes and once they are complete we arrange for the site to be launched to the Internet. We will invoice you the remaining 50% and ask for cleared payment prior to the site being launched. |

|
|||
 |
After your website is launched, we provide support and advice as well as content management solutions. We can discuss how we support your website after the development period has finished. | ||
