How the Web CMS Development Process Works

We begin by defining the necessary requirements for your project. We seek to understand where you are and where you wish to go. We take time to understand your goals and objectives.

1. Define

• Understand current state
• Competition survey
• Benchmark search ranking
• Understand your target audience
• Set goals

After the goals, specifications and requirements have been assessed we move into designing the Website's architecture. We focus on usability, searchability and simplicity via a clean professional design.
 

2. Design

• Sitemap
• User interface design (mock-up)
• Photography
• Content outline and development

In the development stage, the finalized design files are handed off to the development team to implement the code and back-end systems to make the Website interactive. Prior to launch - a prototype site is posted for testing and to ensure your expectations and goals are met.
 

3. Develop

• Register URL
• Hosting setup
• CMS installation CSS/HTML/.NET and SQL2005
• Email setup
• Skin design integration
• Content placement
• Prototype launch (unique private URL)
• Q/A Testing

At the deployment phase we make sure your team understands the CMS structure, technology, and Website functionality. We train you on common site maintenance tasks to ensure a smooth transition. We monitor the site for 30 days after launch to ensure all aspects are working properly.
