Our Process
Once a client decides to have a website developed by DesignSource.com and the development process begins. We have divided the process into five basic phases in order to ensure a smooth and optimal flow.
- Requirements Phase: The client requirements are analyzed and a project specification form is outlined. A flowchart of the website will also be created so that both parties get a clear visual idea of the requirements of the project. This is approved and signed by the client. Deadlines for various deliverables are also specified. Special likes and dislikes regarding the look and feel of the website must be communicated and documented at this stage.
- Design Phase: Prior to any design being implemented, our team searched the Internet to view competitors’ sites and designs. We pride ourselves in giving our customers high-quality design and content. Upon competition of this research process, DesignSource.com works out a graphical website design incorporating, the overall look and feel, colors, logo, and navigation features specified by the client. This initial design will be hosted in a password-protected area within our website. This phase may require back-and-forth communication and changes between the client and designer till the client is satisfied with the look and feel, features, colors, design logo, etc. Once the client approves the design the project launches into the development phase.
- Development Phase: In this phase, the approved design is converted into HTML pages. The CGI scripts and all necessary programming are incorporated. In the case of backend-intensive websites, ASP pages are developed and linked to databases. After all required programming is done, tested thoroughly by our team and client, and final approval is given, the website is transferred to the appropriate location.
- Go Live: In this phase, the website is opened to the public. If required, the client is educated regarding the administration features of various components for future maintenance.
- Promotion Phase: Once the website is ready, it is time to get indexed by search engines. In this phase, keywords are carefully placed and pages are submitted to various search engines and directories.
