AboutBloomington, Indiana based web development firm

Our Process

We provide a variety of diverse creative solutions for the web. We believe information and communication is essential while maintaining elegant simplicity. We have a simple and highly effective development process we follow with every project, tailored specifically to its scope.


Phase One: Information Gathering

The first step in designing a successful website is to gather information. Many things need to be taken into consideration when we design the look and feel of your site, so we first ask a lot of questions to help us understand your business and your needs in a website. Certain things to consider are: Purpose, Goals, Target Audience and Content.

Phase 3: Design
Phase Three: Design

Drawing from the information gathered up to this point, we determine the look and feel of the site. We also incorporate elements such as a company logo or colors to help strengthen overall identity. In this phase, communication is crucial to ensure that the final website will match your needs and taste. We work together until we arrive at the final design for the site.

Phase 5: Testing
Phase Five: Testing & Delivery

At this point, we attend to final details and test your site. We test things such as the functionality of forms or other scripts, we test for last minute compatibility issues (viewing differences between different web browsers). Once we receive your final approval, it is time to upload the site to the server. This marks the official launch of your site, as it is now viewable to the public.

Phase 2: Planning
Phase Two: Planning

Here we develop a site map – a list of all main topic areas of the site, as well as sub-topics. This gives us a guide as to site content and is essential to developing a consistent, easy to understand navigational system. This is also the point where we decide what technologies should be implemented – interactive forms, Content Management System (CMBoss).

Phase 4: Development
Phase Four: Development

This is where the website itself is created. We take all of the individual graphic elements from the prototype and use them to create the functional website. We also take your content and distribute it throughout the site, in the appropriate areas. We will work with you to gather assets like copy, images, documents, etc. to complete the site.

Phase 6: Sustainability
Phase Six: Sustainability

The development of your website is not necessarily over, though. One way to bring repeat visitors to your site is to offer new content or products on a regular basis. We will be more than happy to continue working with you to keep your site as current as possible. We offer several maintenance packages, based on what your needs are.
