Design Process

Project Start

Once we receive your initial deposit then the project will start on the agreed scheduled date. Before the start of the project we will provide a plan showing the project milestones and expected delivery dates. All projects are accepted on a first come first served basis.

Create graphical prototype

Our designers will study customers needs and suggestions and then add there own expert ideas and create one or two prototypes for the new site or design. These prototypes will generally be static images and they provide an impression of what the site will look like. The customer must formally approve the design before we proceed.

Customer reviews prototype

Customers then provide feedback and the designers make changes.

Change prototype

We stay in this feedback and revision loop until the customer is satisfied with the design. The customer must formally approve the design before we proceed.

Create wireframe

We now create a wireframe prototype. A wireframe is an interactive representation of the customer’s site. It is created to determine the logical flow and functions needed. We find that a wireframe that is viewed in a web browser is better than creating a long document describing what is required.

Customer reviews wireframe

The customer interacts with the wireframe over the web and generates feedback, changes and suggestions.

Change wireframe

Based upon a customer’s feedback we change the wireframe. The customer then reviews again and we make any revisions needed. The customer must formally approve the design in wireframe form before we continue.

Develop phase 1 version

We now start web designing and programming. Initially we will create what we call a phase 1 version. Phase 1 is all about function and not about the look and feel. Its very important that we get the functionality working and its better to concentrate on function before we make the site look slick and professional. We test the phase 1 version.

Customer reviews phase 1

The customer provides feedback on phase 1.

Change phase 1 version

Based on the customer’s feedback we make any changes that are within the specification. The customer must formally accept phase 1 before we proceed.

Develop phase 2 version

We now add the slick graphics and introduce the look and feel to the site.

Customer reviews phase 2

The customer will now review the phase 2 version which is actually the final version of the project.

Change phase 2 version

Based on the customer’s feedback we make any changes required and that are within the scope of the specification.

Quality Assurance testing

Our internal testers subject the site to testing and also include cross browser testing. Our developers will make any final changes based upon the testers’ results.

Customer final testing

We formally request the customer to approve the project.

Live deployment

We make the site or system live.

Live testing

We run a complete test again when the site is live and correct any in specification errors that occur.
