The development and construction of your website follows a number of simple steps as detailed below.

1: The Initial Design Consultation:
We can meet with your website representative(s) in person or discuss your needs over the telephone. The representative acts as a go between for your organisation/business and ourselves.

We will discuss your requirements, any design ideas that you have, the content you wish to place on the site, your preferred website address etc.. We will also identify what level of functionality your website requires and which, if any, additional services you wish to include in the site. This initial consultation will allow us to collect enough information to construct the site. After this meeting, further, regular contact is usually made by email or phone.

2: The Website Design & Construction Process:
After agreement on content and design scheme we will design and construct an initial prototype website for your approval. The design is published to the web with a 'Site Under Construction' banner. A specific URL or web address is issued to you where you can view the site while it is in development. Being able to view the site online during construction allows you to monitor the progress of the design and construction of your site as the daily work is uploaded. Any design or content changes that you wish to make are undertaken during this phase.

We will give you regular 'Status Reports' by email to keep you updated on the progress of your site.

3: Quality Assurance Checks:
Spelling or grammar mistakes, missing links, and incorrect information are the bane of most websites. To try to eradicate this problem we undertake a thorough quality assurance check to remove & correct errors before a site goes live on the internet. This involves checking all pages for broken links, spelling errors, etc. Every page of your website is proof-read. The corrected hard copy will then be sent to you so that you can conduct your own proof-read. Any errors or updates you highlight will be corrected. Using this thorough QA and proof-reading technique ensures that our sites as close to error-free as possible when they go live.

4: Go Live On The Internet:
Once the website has been through our rigorous QA assessment and meets with your approval, we will remove the ‘Site Under Construction’ page, so that the site is fully accessible. As part of this process we will submit your site to all the major search engines.

5: Maintaining & Updating Your Site:
There are a number of options to choose from when maintaining your options read our maintenance & support options for more information.
