Web Site Design and Development

The starting point for the process is to document what you want to achieve with your site. In most cases, this is as simple as a 'site map' which lays out the different areas of your site and how they connect to each other. You would also think about the functionality you want to support as well as any interfaces to other systems you might require. Some clients prefer to complete this step themselves, or we can assist. We have consultants available who will come to you and analyse your requirements.

The next step is to develop a 'look and feel' for your site. This includes choosing a layout, developing a colour palette, selecting images and fonts etc. A good starting point is your coporate logo or stationery if available. Again, some clients perform this step on their own, or they may choose to enlist the services of a graphic design or advertising company.

Once the design and the requirements are documented, our developers will implement your design. We have designated test servers where we can temporarily host your site. This allows you to check on the progress of your site and complete any testing you may wish to undertake as the site develops.

Finally, once the site is ready and you have approved it for release, we can assist in installing the site at your preferred hosting location, or it can be migrated to one of our secure in-house production servers.
