Design
The concept is the first phase and perhaps the most important step in designing a successful Web site. Whenever possible, a visit to the actual business premises is required to establish an understanding of every aspect of the enterprise. If this is not feasible, material information pertinent to the formulation of a productive design concept is obtained. The design process will not begin until a workable concept emerges.
Once we develop a clear message, the actual design process is undertaken. We prepare the page into usable groups such as photos, clipart, text, forms, etc., to make the actual layout come to life. If the client desires custom artwork, we will consult a professional free-lance artist. Most design elements can be constructed from in-house sources, however. We try to use photos whenever possible to provide a personal touch and feel to the site.
When the concept and design phases are completed, actual construction of the Web site can commence. Every effort is made to prepare the pages in a manor which is compatible with all browsers. However, this is not always possible do to the diversity of formats. Page load time of individual computer systems is a major consideration too. Every effort is made to keep page loading in line with the average persons patience. There are many unnoticed setup features without which a site can fail.
