Following a Web Design Process

Six Phases of theWebsite Design and Development Process 01 Information Gathering The first step in designing a successful web site is to gather information. Many things need to be taken into consideration when we design the look and feel of your site. Planning Using the information gathered, we put together a plan for your website. This is the point where we decide what technologies should be implemented – interactive forms, CMS such as WordPress, etc. 02 Design Here we determine the look and feel of the site. We also 03 incorporate elements such as the company logo or colors to help strengthen the identity of your company on the web site. Development This is where the web site itself is created. We take all of the 04 individual graphic elements from the prototype and use them to create the functional web site. 05 Testing and Delivery At this point, we test your web site. We test things such as the complete functionality of forms, we test for last minute compatibility issues, ensuring that the site is optimized to be viewed properly in the most recent browser versions. Maintenance The development of your website is not necessarily over, though. One way to bring repeat visitors to your site is to offer new content or products on a regular basis. 06
