• Website Design and Development Process

There are many steps in the website design and development process from collecting initial information to the creation of design, development, and finally the maintenance to keep your website current and up-to-date.

Phase One: Collecting Information

The first important step in creating a website is to collect information to help us understand your business, your competitors and your expectations for your company. Initially, we will begin by asking questions about your business, your target audience and your competitors so we can help you compete and achieve your goals.

Phase Two: Planning

The next step is to use the information we collected and create a plan for your website. We will develop a complete strategy for your website, deciding what technology we will use and what component should be incorporated such as contact forms, flash animation, and shopping cart and present them to you for approval.

Phase Three: Design

In this phase we will determine the best look and feel for your web site, taking in consideration many factors such as target audience and your visual identity. We may also suggest creating a new identity that will present your business in an effective way. Our designer will create one or more example designs for your review. We communicate with you to determine your likes and dislikes on the website design until we arrive at the final design for your website.

Phase Four: Development

At this time our developer will start creating the website beginning with your home page, followed by interior pages. We will start adding content to your website such as text, photos and videos supplied by you, or we will create it for you if you are interested in our Copywriting service. After that we will start adding interactive elements into your website like shopping cart, contact form, flash design, blog, gallery album, etc…

Phase Five: Testing and Delivery

After developing your website, we will work on final details and test your website usability and optimize it for search engines. You will have access to your website to view and give your suggestions. Once you give us the final approval, we will luanch your website. We will offer an affordable domain name registration and web hosting if you need.

Phase Six: Maintenance

At Impact Web Design, our relations with our customers never end. We will be happy to continue working together with you to beat your competitors. We will start updating the content on your website, if you choose our web maintenance services. We will also offer search engine optimization (SEO) to gain more exposure online. This is an important step, because even you have a website, you need to make sure that people find you!

Our goal is to create partners not clients. We look forward to developing a successful internet partnership that will achieve your goals and needs.
