WEBSITE METHODOLOGY |
| |
| |
MEETING |
| |
Usually, email and telephone is all that's
necessary to meet. |
| |
| |
You may want to know your options and limitations.
We explain everything you need to know to get the most out of
your Web site. I'll help you discover ways to automate tasks
that tie up your valuable time so that you can focus on your
real job, making your company succeed. |
| |
| |
SITEMAP |
| |
All great sites start with a solid sitemap. |
| |
| |
We'll help you develop a sitemap based on
the information and functions you want to offer in your site.
We'll also let you know of any additional pages that we think
you may need. We'll help you decide which pages are most important
and how they should be categorized. If you already know what
pages and information you need to present, we double check it
to make sure that it makes sense. If we can make it better,
we do. |
| |
| |
MATERIALS TO BEGIN |
| |
Startups - I can help develop your company
standards and content. |
| |
| |
 |
Company standards requirements (logo, print
pieces, fonts, colors, etc). |
|
Sitemap, functional requirements and a page
or two of sample text. |
|
| |
| |
PROCESS |
| |
All are unique and built from scratch. |
| |
| |
Using the sitemap and company standards, and
by understanding the parameters that have been clearly defined
in our meetings, we format the look and feel of the content
and design a user interface. We may use photography or Flash
for elements in your design if you wish. After you approve the
inner page design, We build out the page shells. This means
that we make all of the pages, including titles and navigation. |
| |
| |
CONTENT |
| |
Content should receive most of your focus....Period. |
| |
| |
If you want a site to sell products, then
you have to provide more than just the products in your site.
You need real meat and potatoes information. We know that when
I shop online, we enjoy the fact that we are not in a hurry
and that we actually have time to read about things before we
spend our money on them. Think like a new visitor to your site....what
would you want to know about your company and industry? |
| |
| |
HOME PAGE |
| |
| |
Using introductory messaging and elements
from the inner pages, We are able to design a home page that
is consistent with the inner pages every time. Many times home
pages dictate their own design based on all of the elements.
The main focus of the home page should be to encourage visitors
to dig into your site and to provide easy access to the content
on the inner pages. It's sometimes useful to display news and
current events here as well. |
| |
| |
FUNCTIONALS |
| |
| |
We offer many functional features, during
site build-out and after launch. Functional features enhance
users browsing expereince by creating an interactive environment.
Interactivity is another method of encouraging visitors to remain
on your site longer. It can also usually give them a reason
to return in the future. |

| |
Functional Examples: |
| |
|
Content Management System. |
|
E-commerce |
|
Password Protection |
|
Visitor Tracking (site stats) |
