FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Planning - The planning stage is arguably the most important, because whats decided and mapped here sets the stage for the entire project. This is also the stage that requires client interaction and the accompanying attention to detail. Design - The design stage typically involves moving the information outlined in the planning stage further into reality. The main deliverables are a documented site structure and, more importantly, a visual representation. Upon completion of the design phase, the website should more or less have taken shape, but for the absence of the content and special features. Development - Development involves the bulk of the programming work, as well as loading content (whether by your team or the clients). Keep code organized and commented, and refer constantly to the planning details as the full website takes shape. Take a strategic approach, and avoid future hassles by constantly testing as you go. Launch - The purpose of the launch phase is to prepare the website for public viewing. This requires final polishing of design elements, deep testing of interactivity and features and, most of all, a consideration of the user experience. An important early step in this phase is to move the website, if need be, to its permanent Web server. Testing in the production environment is important because different servers can have different features and unexpected behavior (e.g. different database host addresses). Post Launch and Handoff - Business re-enters the picture at this point as you take care of all the little tasks related to closing the project. Packaging source files, providing instructions for use and any required training occurs at this time. Always leave the client as succinctly informed as possible, and try to predict any questions they may have. Dont leave the project with a closed door; communicate that youre available for future maintenance and are committed to ongoing support. If maintenance charges havent already been shared, establish them now.
