Our total website solutions take
care of everything for you. We work closely with our clients
to gain an understanding of their personal preferences and business
ethos as well as the functional needs of the website.
Our bespoke websites are individually coded from scratch using
many of the leading Internet technologies such as, PHP, Javascript,
ASP and .NET etc.which means we can meet our clients precise
specifications, and we are not restricted by limitations of
packages and tools.
HitechDesign can take care of everything, from initial website
design specification, registration of website Domain Name(s),
through to proactively marketing your website once your site
is live.
Three Steps to a Perfect Website
Step One: Compile a Project Specification
Document
Step One generally begins with an intial meeting to discuss
the functionality and look and feel of the propoosed site. The
meeting is structured to produce a detailed Project Specification
Document which details the projects deliverables and associasted
costs.
The document can go through
a number of reviews and amendments until the client is happy
and agrees sign off.
Follwing recipt of a signed Project Specification
Document, HitechDesign will register / transfer any website
Domain Name(s) and arrange website hosting. We will then setup
a "holding Page" and may provide the client with credentials
to access a secure project area on our servers where it is possible
to follow the website development process.
Step Two: Prototyping / Design
Selection
A set of different prototypes or website designs are produced
for review with the client. These are intended to define the
'look and feel' of the site.
A website is a very personal matter and individual preferences
vary hugely from client to client. The initial set of prototypes
/ design selections are intended to identify a set of features
which may then be refined into an acceptable design. Obviously,
every client varies here - some have a very clear idea about
how their site should look, whilst others have a total blank
sheet and are open to a broad range of designs. Two rounds of
prototyping / design amendments are costed for, which is generally
adequate for most clients.
Stage Three: Build and Review
When a prototype or design has been agreed by a client, the
website is cronstructed and thoroughly tested. Basic Key Words
and Meta Data are added to optimise the website for search engines
and a final hand-over document is generated.
Following the sites construction and final testing, the website
will enter the hand-over stage. Once the clients approval and
full paymant has been received, the website will be associated
with the clients Domain Name and the site is available to users
of the Internet.
